Ask HN: Who's Hiring?

161 points by mrduncan ↗ HN
I noticed a few threads with people saying that their company is hiring and it's been about a month since the last one of these (so I'm sure needs have changed).

As a reminder, please include the location if you would need employees to work on-site.

We're looking for one or two strong software engineers to join our team building Windows backup and disaster recovery solutions with C# and C++.

Work is on site in Reston, VA, USA. No visa sponsorship so must have right to work in USA.

I'm the development director at AppAssure, so drop my name and mention HN when you apply.

Building things that people want is overrated. A person can derive great pleasure and satisfaction from ripping things apart instead. That's the gig we're offering. We work with some of the most interesting companies, along with lots of companies with interesting technology you've never heard of.

This job has had me write compilers, learn Scala, reverse and interoperate with freaky network protocols, test chipsets, write hypervisors, extend debuggers, and crawl through the heating ducts and garbage chutes of several of the biggest web apps out there. It is a very cool gig.

And, I have news! Since last I posted this appeal, we've opened a Bay Area office. I'm hiring in NYC. I'm hiring in Chicago. And I'm hiring in SFBay.

We're looking first and foremost for people who can code and who have a deep interest in software security. I've been thrilled with the quality of people I've gotten to talk to on HN. You can't possibly waste my time. My contact info is in my profile.

Great spiel!

Nice post! You're right about how sometimes it is more fun to rip things apart than to build them. For example: I remember running a fuzzer on a brand new Solaris 10 install several years back and when the server spontaneously rebooted itself, I knew I had just found a remote root exploit.

Good luck!

I swore off that sh-t ten years ago. I just got too worried about lawsuits, hit men (some toughs show up and you've got 30 seconds to decide how badly you want to mess them up to minimize your risk of future problems), wondering which people on the mailing lists and IRC channels I was on were spooks... and then there was the time that I got the FBI to investigate Japan's #1 superheroine.

I decided it was much better to build things that people want after all.

Were you on IRC anonymously?

I can vouch for this. I started at Matasano two months ago, and am very pleased to find seriously bright people and a really fun gig. As one of the Matasanoans said, it is curiosity that is important in this gig, not paranoia or certificates. I have always enjoyed drilling down to find out what makes something tick. Clients ask us to find vulnerabilities in their systems. The gigs involve burping web apps, pulling apart C# and Java programs, understanding C, machine language, or even firmware and hardware.

And the coding part is most often in ruby or jruby (and yes, I do try to sneak in a little clojure past Tom). You don't need to know Ruby coming in the door, but if you are a good programmer, you will pick up in no time.

Check us out.

(Ok, back to breaking things. But they tell me I should stop breaking tools in the black bag, though.)

Nasuni (Natick, MA) is hiring!

http://www.nasuni.com/sub/jobs/

Inside Sales Representative (Account Manager)

Web Marketing Specialist

Community/Social media manager

QA Test Engineer

Most of these would be onsite - I'm pretty sure the Community manager position can be remote.

We're a venture-back startup, and we've just gone live with the 1.0 version of our product. Now would be the perfect time to join us!

Feel free to email resumes to jobs@nasuni.com or jnoller at the same domain.

OpenX is still hiring - we're looking for a wide variety of positions (http://openx.org/Jobs), one of which is to work with me on the Market (http://openx.org/market). If you're into scaling high-volume back-ends doing non-trivial work on every request using a variety of languages from Java to Erlang - you might like working on the Market. If you're interested send me an email (joel at openx dot org). The location is Pasadena, CA, and you need to work on-site. Relocation is available.

There seems to be a problem with your website in Firefox, the stylesheets aren't applied. It looks good in Chrome though.

My company isn't actually hiring, but I run a jobs website that focuses on the entry level market.

http://www.onedayonejob.com/

It's a pretty simple premise. Every day I feature a new company that is hiring. You can browse by tag, so for the sake of the HN crowd I'll plug myself twice more.

Software Development Jobs: http://onedayonejob.com/entry-level-jobs/software-developmen...

Web Development Jobs: http://onedayonejob.com/entry-level-jobs/web-development/

I only talk about the entry level positions, but a lot of the companies are hiring at higher levels too.

Dropcam, http://www.dropcam.com/ in San Francisco.

You should email me directly - greg@dropcam.com. We code for the cameras and the server-side, mostly Python/C -- and there are many terabytes of data to work with. We also have an iPhone app and will support more mobile platforms in the future.

We're looking for generalist engineers who know C like the back of their hand but prefer to code in a higher level language like Python 90% of the time. You should also have experience with IP/networking or a voracious enough learning appetite to get it fast: we work with protocols a lot, and not just HTTP. Linux knowledge will come in handy too ... understanding file systems, system calls, toolchains, etc a plus.

You might work on web, iPhone, embedded camera code, and video server code all in the span of one project -- we don't like silos. Everyone here is an engineer and writes code. Our current team consists of core engineers from Xobni and DivX.

We've been too busy to write up a fancy jobs page, but there are ample sodas, salary, and equity :)

And FYI, we're funded by Mitch Kapor, David Cowan, and Aydin Senkut.

"Receive alerts when something happens via email or text"

Doesn't this mean I'll receive an alert when I receive an email?

Wouldn't this be better:

"Receive alerts via email or text when something happens"

Well, if you tried it would push-notify my iPhone so I guess that's an additional way to get in touch ...

San Mateo, CA - http://epocrates.com working on an electronic health record system. If you have RoR && ( jQuery || moo || prototype.js || yui) skills, please email me. We use Shoulda, continuous integration (hudson), macbook pros with external monitors, &etc. This is a nice place to work with smart people -- we're working hard on the v1 of a new product, but have a midsize company's resources and maturity (benefits, experienced management, sane buy vs build mentality, &etc.)

It's also pretty cool to go into work each day and know that you are working towards saving lives and helping the medical industry.

Nice use of boolean logic.

What's awesome is that my team has grown from one (me!) to four as these threads went out. Sadly, none directly from the HN.

To correct that, drop me a line: sanj@tripadvisor.com

We're looking for intern, junior and senior folks to work on stuff that's cool enough that it is embargoed. We're in Newton, MA and you'll need to be too.

Warning: I'll ask you to write code pretty much the first time we talk.

bkrausz
Ditto what Sanjay's looking for. We have an HN candidate sharing agreement, so no need to email both of us :).

Interesting. Digg could be really develop some excellent discovery and sharing functionality... the product management opportunities could be great.
