Ask HN: Who's hiring?

154 points by mncaudill ↗ HN
There have been a few "who's hiring?" threads in the past and I'm curious if those hiring would be interested in adding to another. I think the last one was up almost a month and a half ago, so I'm sure the job landscape has changed over that time.

On a completely self-plugging note, as of this past Monday, my company downsized so if anyone is need of a good web developer, drop me a line!

About the above jobs:

San Francisco, CA strongly preferred but remote candidates considered. We use LAMP (PHP) + Javascript + various other tools.

Wikimedia Foundation is the organization behind Wikipedia and other free knowledge projects. The above job(s) are related to our fundraising efforts. Do you like money? We should hang out.

In general, we're always looking for people who like: free knowledge, free software, web standards, large scale deployments, usability, smart generalists, saving the world, the A-team, and working at the only top 10 website whose entire paid technical staff can fit around a couple of tables in a Chinese restaurant.

How important are the UI design skills? I can build about anything you could imagine, but, probably like most engineers, my design skills leave something to be desired.

Anyone know of anything in Canada?

We're not hiring anyone specifically now, but you owe it to yourself to check out Waterloo region. It's starting to get an awesome and vibrant startup scene, and alongside mammoth companies like RIM there are a ridiculous amount of job opportunities.

Must as good with Java as Indiana Jones (Raiders version) or Jason Bourne are at being awesome.

IPTEGO, in Berlin (Germany), is looking for python, javascript and C developers to work on a VoIP monitoring product. Experience in those languages is not strictly needed as long as you are willing to learn. We can support you with the relocation, and Berlin is a very nice city :-). http://www.iptego.com/jobs/ (but don't worry about the list of acronyms from there)
dje
please let me know if the position is still open at my email address david.j.erik@gmail.com. I have extensive experience in python, and C/C++ and I'm going to relocate soon to Berlin because of my girl-friend.

Thank you

RethinkDB in Mountain View, CA: looking for system and performance engineers. Interns also welcome. More details here: http://www.rethinkdb.com/jobs

Here's a quick blurb from our jobs page:

Working at RethinkDB truly involves disruptive technology and solving interesting, challenging problems. Building caching algorithms, advanced data structures, and lock-free concurrency primitives from scratch is just business as usual here.

While everyone at RethinkDB has the determination to move heaven and earth to succeed, we prefer to get stuff done quickly and go home to our families, instead of living our lives in the office. As an additional perk to our employees, we work very hard to hire only self-motivated people smarter than ourselves.

That's kind of nice that you post your salary ranges online, but do you really think you'll get quality engineers for those salaries?

Position Salary Stock Options Intern 50K - 60K, prorated N/A Engineer I 65K - 75K 0.25% - 0.75% Engineer II 80K - 90K 1.0% - 1.5% Engineer III 95K - 105K 1.75% - 2.25%

For interns, that's a great salary, but your senior engineers will probably expect 1.5 times that.

amanfredi
If stock options are part of the deal, my understanding is that generally the more senior your position, higher the ratio of options to salary and the bigger pay cut you are expected to take.

We're adding to our team at http://www.covermymeds.com. This product is about a year old and has significant revenue. Our major effort is building our API and a real-time processing system. Looking for thoughtful pros, not egos and code ninjas. Mostly Python, working with a talented team.

Parent company: http://www.innova-partners.com/main/developers. We have virtually no turnover and treat people with respect.

Contact mscantland at covermymeds dot com.

Edit: Columbus, Ohio

I know a good Python hacker in Raleigh, NC. Healthcare is big here. What about remote?
mscantland
Sorry, locals or willing to move only for these positions. We do have a remote employee, but I wouldn't want to do it unless the dev started off local
_3ex7
Just wondering, do you attend Cohpy?
mscantland
Could be wrong, but don't think anyone at Innova is involved with Cohpy. We contribute at OWASP (both corporate and time), and have been a big supporter of PHPMeetup in the past.

We'll give Cohpy a look.

I'd just like to post a friendly reminder before this thread fills up with a lot of posts. Please post your location, or if the job(s) in question can be done remotely, specify so - it makes things much easier.

Where is the app around this post? I've always thought it would be interesting to have some social network way to know about jobs via friends and previous co-workers. LinkedIn has never really done much for me and it seems you have to be more proactive there.
rglullis
Every month the thread comes up, and every month I mention a website I work with my friend, http://job4dev.com

We put together a job board and a company database, so that people can see about the listings and have information about the company. Each listing page and company page works as a wiki, and can be edited to improve information about. Also, each page has a comment area in order to improve communication between job seekers, recruiters, and people who already work at the given company.

I'm pretty close to finish the section where people can build their resumes and list past experiences, education, and such. http://job4dev.com/my/resume

What else do we do? We have a twitter profile @job4dev (http://twitter.com/job4dev), custom RSS feeds, mailing lists. The fundamental features of this "app" you want are there.

All of this is free. The website is far from perfect, but our biggest problem right now is breaking the chicken-and-egg nature of a job site.

This is a side-project for now, the moment we get traction I can see myself jumping more into it to fix these smaller issues and bringing more features at a faster pace. For now I think all I'll be able to do is to use this monthly thread to do a shameless plug and tell of what's new. (Last month, for instance, we had no resume builder).

Let me know what you think. Feedback is always appreciated.

Check out CareerElement.com; we will be bringing all kinds of new innovation to the job space. We will be launching in April.

We are an angel funded Stanford/Google startup.

And we are hiring: http://www.careerelement.com/index/software

Location: Palo Alto, CA

Can you tell us more about your startup? How does it work? I've always thought it would be interesting to move the word of mouth job knowledge to a software tool. I know all the jobs we have open at my company and my friends know their open jobs. Why not share these openly either anonymously or via your friend network. Show who's moving where and what they're doing now in some easy to digest format.
pjharrin
This looks like a great opportunity. The product management looks very interesting, but I think you might be looking for more experience. Anyway to meld some of those responsibilities with a business intern position for a very hungry new grad with a take charge attitude?
bererton
We're a social gaming startup with some pretty decent traction (http://apps.facebook.com/happyhabitat , > 500K monthly uniques) and funding. We're looking for an awesome software engineer who is or wants to work on any part of the product. Job posting here: http://jobs.zipzapplay.com/

We're looking for someone full time and on site in San Francisco, CA.

Shoot me a line if you know someone who's looking. Specific skill set/languages is less important than just a kick ass software engineer. curt [at] zipzapplay.com

In the spirit of making things easier, it would be great if you could also post how open you are to qualified applicants from other countries and what help you can provide, if any, with visas/citizenship.

This might seem like a fringe request, but I am sure there a quite a few awesome, available developers willing to actually relocate to a neighboring country (Canada/USA & vice versa, is pretty frequent AFAIK) to tackle an interesting opportunity.

I, for one, wouldn't mind relocating to the US (from Canada) if I liked the opportunity/challenge/team. I have no problem finding job openings for which I am qualified and interested in, but applying usually ends up being a waste of time for both parties when it is not clear whether or not it is possible.

Seriously, if you are open to it, don't keep it a secret! Help us find you! :)

Academia.edu is hiring: http://www.academia.edu/jobs

We're currently hacking a lot of cutting-edge technology like Node.js and Redis to scale the site up, and we're looking for some really talented engineers to help us out.

Based in San Francisco.

Flurry's hiring Java developers in San Francisco or New York City. Mobile application development experience a plus (especially iPhone or Android), Hadoop experience a big plus. We could also use a great ops guy.

http://flurry.com or just e-mail me - greg at the domain you'd expect it to be at.

We are. Based in Clerkenwell, London; no remote working, I'm afraid.

We're Timetric, and we're looking for Unix hackers into Python and statistics - http://timetric.com/biz/jobs/ - and we closed our seed round today (http://eu.techcrunch.com/2010/03/24/timetric-closes-seed-fun...).

Our officemates are hiring too. Picklive (http://football.picklive.com/) do real-time fantasy football, also closed a round of funding today (http://eu.techcrunch.com/2010/03/24/real-time-social-sports-...) and they're after Rails ninjas - http://football.picklive.com/jobs

We're both based in an awesome space just north of the Square Mile in London - photos at http://www.flickr.com/photos/picklive/sets/72157623553354863... - and both companies have some investors in common, including Stefan Glaenzer, the former exec chairman of last.fm.

We're looking for two entry-level developers who know their stuff but need to get some professional experience on their resume. While continuing to add features to our CRM, we're also going through a big push to refactor a lot of older code in to clean, readable code.

We're located in King of Prussia, PA which isn't too far outside of Philadelphia.

For more info, check out http://remindermedia.com/careers/index.php?state=PA or email me directly at jcampbell at remindermedia dot com

You can take over my current position in Minneapolis working on ASP.NET MVC for a startup project within the company: http://jobs.stackoverflow.com/default.asp?6506

Or you can come work with me at my new job at Twilio in Downtown San Fran, which has some amazing things coming out soon: http://twilio.jobscore.com/list (not listed yet is a Product/Project Manager position)

Just from that brief bit of information, I'll venture to say congratulation are in order!

Thanks! Can't wait to start.

Application in! And congratulations to you on your new position.

Yell Labs in London, UK are hiring.

We're going to be based on Grays Inn Road just up from Chancery Lane (Central Line). Future-tense as we get the building on April 16th. No remote working initially, not closed to it permanently though.

It's a R&D lab and we are looking for quite a few people. JVM is dominant and whilst Java and Spring are likely to form the basis of any web service platform we're open to clojure, groovy and other stuff elsewhere and of course various devices mean that there will be other stuff around (for iPhone, iPad, Blackberry, TV widgets, etc).

We are really looking for talented people with a lot of potential and passion for what they do... but then I guess everyone is.

Ping a gmail to david.kitchen and I'll put you in touch with the hiring people.

adw
Cool, really close to us! Silicon Roundabout is crawling westwards.

It's firmly on the hipster highway already. I suspect the Golden Mile is defined from Condor Cycles to Hoxton Square... so we're both at one end, and people like Songkick are at the other end.

We should all set up a permanent residence at the end of the week somewhere like the Slaughtered Lamb (neutral ground, half way betwix everyone). Would be good to really feed off each other in that way.

adw
Sounds like a plan. Who's around here? Songkick, Timetric, Smarkets, Picklive, rjdj, Rummble, Technovated, you guys at Yell Labs, BERG, RIG/Newspaper Club, Trampoline Systems, Resolver Systems... sure there are loads I'm forgetting too.
dunk010
Last.fm and Moo are right on teh roundabout, though you're probably just referring to startups.

I'd like to see this kind of post every month, how about the first monday of every month?

A lot of hackers are looking for jobs and a lot of entrepreneurs are also hiring.

Perfect match!

- Jobs HN: We are hiring

- Jobs HN: We are available

One for entrepreneurs to post their openings.

One for hackers to post their availability and skills.

I know we already have HN jobs, but this may be an informal way for HN readers and contributors, and who knows, it may grow to be part of our community.

drtse4
...and HN jobs seems to be limited to Ycomb founded startups.

I guess he's talking about post title prefixes.

Jobs HN: We are available seems like a great idea.
