Ask HN: Who's hiring? (September 2010)

176 points by buro9 ↗ HN
I'm really interested in London, UK but I'm sure one of these is overdue so feel free to let others know what else is out there.

A little format to the first couple of lines is always helpful. <Vague Job Title> - <City>, <Country>

And then a little bit describing the role and your startup/company.

Thanks in advance.

Product Genius - New York, USA

Back-end Developer - New York, USA

We're hiring at http://JumpPost.com. We currently have a product aimed at helping to solve the NYC apartment search process by connecting apartment hunters directly with vacating tenants, but we're also testing out some other products to connect local supply with demand. We're built in Ruby, running on Heroku, using AWS, working out of a cool meatpacking district loft, and are looking for some smart people to join our three man operation. Must be in NYC, but we can discuss relocation. Email jobs@jumppost.com to chat.

Checked out your product last night. Wishing for more inventory!
Yah, we're working on it. More inventory will definitely be key. We'll be doing some marketing starting next week to get the word out about the $500 incentive we'll pay people for listing their apartments. In the meantime, if you let me know what you're looking for I'd be happy to keep an eye out and let you know first thing when something matching gets posted.
As always - Please indicate whether telecommuting is an option or you require employees be located in a specific city.
Product Engineers - Conshohocken - PA

Same as the last time around Monetate is hiring - Conshohocken (Philly suburb). We have hired people who found us here - these threads are great.

We're a SAAS provider of testing, targeting and personalization tools (i.e. segmentation, A/B testing, MVT) to internet retailers. We've got existing high-volume customers. We're small, profitable, and we're growing fast.

We're hiring engineering talent - we work with Javascript, Python, Django, Google Closure, MySQL, and all sorts of AWS in EC2.

We're looking for sharp engineers who are comfortable working across our stack and really want to be in a startup: http://www.ventureloop.com/firstroundcap/jobdetail.php?jobid... - we're only looking for local people for these roles at this point.

We're also hiring front-end engineers who want to help build and test experiments and are experienced in working with production-quality cross-browser HTML/CSS and Javascript without frameworks.

We have fun problems at scale and we get instant feedback from our clients on everything we put out.

Feel free to email me tjanofsky monetate com.

Where is PA?
(comment deleted)
Whether or not that's a joke I laughed out loud.
PA could be Palo Alto - except for the city name "Conshohocken." Which almost sounds like a verb - like something you might say after getting a parking ticket on University Ave. I can see "Conshohocken PA" generating a parser error.
You'll be a happier person not knowing.
Google told me it's the US postal code for the state of Pennsylvania.
I was hired by Tom after emailing him through a previous HN Who's Hiring thread. We had a couple of email exchanges followed by a phone and lunch interview. Working here has been fun and challenging.

I would certainly encourage anyone in the Philadelphia area to apply.

Information Retrieval Engineer - New York

Were urgently looking for engineers who have some background in information retrieval, lucene/solr etc. A senior role at venture backed startup opening up a new office in NYC so you would be part of an early team. We already have a product in the market and customers/revenue!

Lots of perks - good salary, equity, unlimited vacations etc.

More here: http://platform.newscred.com/jobs

Just out of interest: How does unlimited vacation work? I guess you can buy more days of holiday with your salary?
Combined with perpetual crunch time, it has the potential to be an anti-perk (since then you won't ever get paid for those days).
Nope, you just take as much as you want/need. We dont put restrictions, but expect our team to be respectful and not abuse. As long as you work hard, you can play hard. The type of people we hire understand that and we have never had a problem in the past 2+ years.
One or two jobs ago this sort of policy was explained to me as: "If you are getting your work done we don't care how much time you take off. If you are not getting your work done we also don't care how much time you take off"

Dropped you guys an email, but apologies for the dup sent to platform@.

Nasuni - Natick, MA

We're building the next-generation cloud storage gateway (virtual NAS) and have a rock solid, professional and experienced team, and an awesome product. We're located in Natick MA (just outside boston). We are looking for local (or desiring to become local) candidates, but all are free to apply.

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

* Inside Sales Representative

* Sales Engineer

* Maketing Coordinator

* Channel Manager

* Writer (this one is special (near and dear to me)): Nasuni is looking for a strong writer with the ability to craft drama from technicality. As part of the marketing team, it will be the writer’s task to communicate Nasuni’s vision, as well as general industry knowledge, to our target market. Candidates should be self-motivated individuals, with a passion for Information Technology, who can tell compelling stories.

I've met the Nasuni guys, and they have a product that I'm really excited about. If they can get something that is for consumers (rather than businesses), I will be a customer. They have exactly what I am looking for: a local cache of cloud storage that can be accessed at local net speeds and has the scale of the backing cloud storage.
Austin, TX

http://www.texastribune.org

Looking for an experienced web developer who loves news and is comfortable at all levels of the web app stack. (Interns would be nice, too.) We use Django, but Django experience isn't a requirement, just a plus. You'd be joining a team that builds our main website and content management system, as well as nifty web apps that make government data more accessible to the public. The work is fulfilling for me, and hopefully it would be for you too.

Our team is tiny and the hacker/journalism field is still nascent, so the things you do are likely to get recognized within the field, and hopefully by the public as well. Since we're one of the bigger non-profit local/regional news organizations out there, people like to write about us, so if you do good work, it'll get noticed, which is nice.

If you're interested, fill out the survey: http://trib.it/ttdevjob

I just took the survey, I hope I got all the answers correct!

Network Forensic Analyst - Reading/Hertfordshire, UK

Reporting into the head of technical you will work initially in the Reading office then deployed on projects involving network forensics (using NetWitness, Wireshark etc.), reverse engineering and live host forensics.

http://www.mandalorian.com/ we're a small independent information security consultancy providing bleeding edge security testing and advanced incident response services. We have a good atmosphere, flexible environment and are based in central Reading.

Looking for tech co-founder - Kyiv, Ukraine

Cloud-based web-charting with social functions. Contacts in the profile. Feel free to contact any time.

UPD: Remote cooperation is OK.

New Business Executive - Reading/Anywhere UK

I thought I'd do this as a separate one to the other as it's a different skill set and reporting line.

We're currently looking for a New Business Executive to generate new business sales for our security testing and incident response services as well as to start ramping up for a new managed service we're launching early next year. The new service has some incredible USPs, the company's a nice place to work with good people and uncapped commission. Contact details on my profile.

C/C++/Java/Erlang/Haskell/Python Devs - Chicago, USA

We're looking for smart people to help at an established high frequency trading shop. We have a few positions open, from latency critical stuff that must be done in C/C++/Haskell, to 'offline' data crunching which is more Java/Python/Erlang/etc. Plus a bunch of other stuff in everything in between.

Frankly, our code is probably faster and deals with 'bigger' data than anything else you've ever seen (and this was true for me, after having Top Secret clearance working on satellite defence and having interned at several 'big data' places in college).

If you're bored of working on the same 'solved' problems in webapp development as everyone else, you should check us out! We're organized into very small teams, that each have quite a bit of autonomy. It's very entrepreneurial, and you'll have a real dollars and cents impact on our bottom line very quickly.

We were Sequoia funded too, for whatever it's worth.

Shoot me an email/resume at {my_username}@allstontrading.com to learn more!

Are you sure that there is no misunderstanding - critical stuff in Haskell and other stuff in Erlang? Not a reverse pair? ^_^
(comment deleted)
Latency is the keyword there: "Latency critical".
That is what Erlang was designed for. ^_^

Memory latency is a performance bottleneck for Haskell code because the execution model uses a lot of memory indirections.

(comment deleted)
are you guys open to remote developers? we've got two erlang guys down here in Buenos Aires and we're looking for projects!
Sorry, local to chicago only
Are you hiring for any business, PM, etc. type positions?

Flex and / or Java Programmers - Any where in the USA - Telecommuting is required

I run a small independent consulting group and have multiple contracts I am looking to fill. The positions are with both small start-ups and large fortune 500.

Please email me for more details - hackernews at anvilflex.com

Shameless plug - http://www.startupshiring.com/

Hope to have a whole bunch of new features out in the next week or two that will make the site even more useful!

Making it international might help.

I'm not sure if you have international positions, the zip code search means I can't even be sure that just entering London would work (I get 404's when I try with values that I think should work if it were international).

Thanks for the feedback. Expanding international is definitely in the road map. There are a few companies outside the US that are posted, but unfortunately the location search wont find them.
Site looks great, well done!
