Mutually Human - Grand Rapids, MI and Columbus, OH (on-site, full time)

https://www.mutuallyhuman.com/

We are a small team passionate about making people's lives better through software. We are hiring engineers and designers at our offices in Grand Rapids or Columbus.

A little bit about us:

  - We aren't limited to any really specific set of technologies, which is a great
  opportunity to learn. In the past two years, I've worked with Python,
  Objective-C, Angular + CoffeeScript, Node.js, and Ruby/Rails.

  - We practice a sustainable pace. We recognize that we each have lives,
  activities, and families outside of work. Late nights and > 40 hour weeks are
  rare by design. Last year I worked an average of 40.408 hours per week.

  - We offer competitive salaries, top notch benefits, quarterly profit
  sharing, and more.
A little bit about you:

  - You love making software, and you have a couple of years of experience building
  software with a variety of tools and technologies.

  - You learn new stuff quickly. You’ve used a lot of technologies, but you’re not
  afraid to use more. You have some experience with web or mobile tech.

  - You believe software is written for humans, not computers.

  - You want to come into work every day and enjoy the people you work with.

'when remote work is not an option, please include ONSITE'
I currently work remotely (as do some other people in baseball operations), so it's not an absolute dealbreaker for the right candidate, but someone who's willing to relocate to Houston is likely to be favored all else being equal.
What part of 'when remote work is not an option, please include ONSITE' did you not understand?
I would imagine it was a simple mistake. No reason to be nasty about it.
I think those rules were added after much demand as people were having trouble getting job posters to be clear about it in a form they could search for. I guess it irritates people if a company wants the benefits of HN for job postings but won't do us the courtesy of following the community rules.
People who are irritated are invited to manage their irritation until they can comment respectfully here.
Doesn't seem like parent is being nasty about it. I too care about this and if they don't do R-mote I prefer it to say so by saying Ons-te

Edit: nvm I was reading another of his comments. parent comment was kinda nasty.

Sorry-- that rule was added in June and I hadn't re-read the instructions since then. Fixed.

Harvard Center for International Development - Onsite in Cambridge, MA (next to Boston)

https://github.com/cid-harvard/job-descriptions

* UI Developer (Visa possible) * Web and Data Developers (Visa possible) * Web Development INTERNS

What we do: We take real world government data and research, and turn them into interactive data viz tools. The Atlas of Economic Complexity is our current online tool that lets you interactively visualize a country’s trade and explore growth opportunities for more than a hundred countries worldwide. There are also other National Atlas projects launching soon, one for Colombia and one for Mexico.

Our stack: We use python, django, mysql (hopefully postgres soon), elasticsearch, ansible for the back end. For the frontend, it's ember / d3 on big national projects, jquery/d3 on atlas.cid.harvard.edu/ and WebGL with Three.js on some 3d projects that we’ve launched such as globe.cid.harvard.edu/ Everything we do is open source: https://github.com/cid-harvard

Demo of the current atlas: An example of how the atlas is useful take this story here: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/03/21/world/europe/h...

Last year the EU placed sanctions on sales of oil equipment, but not on oil imports. Why could this be? Almost 70% of russia's exports are petrol products: http://atlas.cid.harvard.edu/explore/tree_map/export/rus/all...

And Russia exports the overwhelming majority of its petroleum products to Europe: http://atlas.cid.harvard.edu/explore/tree_map/export/rus/sho...

The big blue chunk is europe, meaning a sanction would really hurt Russia. However, when you look at who else the EU could buy from, the situation is grim: http://atlas.cid.harvard.edu/explore/tree_map/net_export/sho...

There’s practically no one who’s a real political ally that Europe could depend on, save for Norway. It’s interesting how it’s practically impossible to buy oil from a country that’s relatively stable and doing well on the HDI front. It’s worse if you consider the cost of transporting it, and how close Russia is: http://atlas.cid.harvard.edu/explore/map/net_export/show/all...

Which probably explains why EU hasn't placed sanctions on oil imports from Russia. Get in touch:Send us some work you're proud of to greg_shapiro at hks dot harvard dot edu.
