Ask HN: Who's Hiring?

30 points by Herald_MJ ↗ HN
I always find these hiring threads interesting, but haven't seen one in a while. As it happens, this time around I am actually considering changing jobs, and am based in London. But in the interests of being community-spirited, it's great hearing from any interesting companies who're hiring at the moment.

BioWare Austin is still hiring local Drupal/PHP developers to help build the game/web integration for Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO.

Imagine 1-2 million players feeding game events real-time into your web site from day one. There won't be any "grow slowly, scale gracefully" here. We need to be big out of the gate.

We've had something of a hard time finding people, so we're considering training up junior people, now, too.

We're also still looking for a front-end HTML/CSS/JS person, too.

The openings are here, under "Marketing:" http://www.bioware.com/bioware_info/jobs/austin_jobs/

They're contract jobs, so no relocation is provided for, but they're a year long, so you wouldn't have to look for something new right away.

If you apply, email me (vmiliano at that domain name) with your resume so I can it in the hiring manager's hands.

SocialSci is hiring two science minded RoR devs to help bring academic research online.

We save researchers time and money by bringing their scientific surveys (drag/drop, pdf upload, and visual response) online. We have developed a full suite of scientific tools and linked them to an anonymous, honest, and payable group of participants.

The team is currently 4 strong (2 dev, 1 biz/scientist, 1 academic sales), but we want to bump it up to 6.

Recently seed funded (we can pay you actual money / equity), graduated Tech Stars Boston, and now work out of Dog Patch Labs (Cambridge).

If interested, shoot me an email at leon@socialsci.com

Thanks.

I'm hiring for my team in Montreal.

We're working on a couple of unreleased web projects, can't really talk about either of them yet but one is a fairly typical web app (php mvc) though it will be large scale and the other is only half web based.

I'm not looking for someone very senior, mostly just someone that learns fast and is eager to learn a lot.

If you're interested my email is in my profile.

Klicknation is hiring developers in Sacramento and San Francisco. Our game development is in Sacramento, our marketing and analytics is in SF.

We're a profitable, mostly self funded, rapidly growing startup. We've got two great Facebook games - Superhero City and Age of Champions - and reach of about 100k monthly users. Our team includes a producer from Diablo/Diablo 2 as well as several experienced artists who have worked for Marvel and DC comics.

Right now we're running a basic LAMP + memcached stack, so if you've got skills there that's great, but we'll consider any developers provided you obviously have a passion for what you do and would be excited about working here. We're also looking for Flash and Javascript skills.

Oh, and you should love games.

We're hiring (one) generalist software engineer who loves to work on games.

We're self-funded (think Valve)... so no VCs or Boards to force the wrong incentives (like hire too many people too quickly or subsequent layoffs). We believe in work-life balance (leave at 5-6pm) yet our team accomplishes monumental projects[1] in short timespans (minimal overhead = maximal productivity). If you want to build fun projects without bureaucracy, this is the place to be.

We run lean, employ various Agile techniques, and utilize continuous deployment. No telecommuters please.

HNers can email me at van@metamoki.com for referral (and cut in line) or for more information.

[1] e.g.: Internal, real-time analytics; compilers; continuous deployment system; distributed genetic algos simulator; etc

NPR (Washington, DC headquarters) is looking for a smart, talented Front End Web Developer (HTML/XHTML, CSS, JavaScript, JQuery, XSLT and other web technologies). Our Web site and applications have scooped up a lot of awards and notice lately, including an Edward R. Murrow, a Peabody, an EPpy, several Webbies...but that's not why you want to work for us. You want to work for us because we have awesome people who produce interesting, creative stuff while keeping a solid work/life balance. http://n.pr/b5WlRc If you like our content -- on air, Web, or mobile -- you'd probably like working here. (Bonus: you can catch anyone from Tom Jones to The Swell Season to Weird Al at our Tiny Desk Concerts.)
