Ask HN: Who is Hiring? (January 2012)

London:

At Mixlr, [http://mixlr.com], we’re currently looking to meet developers.

Mixlr is a platform for broadcasting and listening to live audio. We launched less than a year ago, and have a large and fast-growing user base including some of the world’s top DJs and radio stations.

We also have an interesting and scaleable backend architecture which involves not only Ruby but lashings of Java, C and C++, with heavy usage of Redis and MongoDB.

We practice test-driven development, use Puppet to automate our server configuration and live by the mantra of rapid deployment: join us, and you can expect to see your code being put through its paces by thousands of users - within hours (or quite possibly, minutes).

We would love to meet developers with:

- deep web development knowledge - most likely involving Ruby on Rails.

- a strongly test-driven approach to coding.

- a love for learning new skills and technologies, and the enthusiasm to break out of Ruby and try their hand at unfamiliar languages and frameworks.

- a driving passion not just for coding, but for audio, music and startups as well.

For the right person(s), we are able to offer:

- A competitive, full-time salary - negotiable dependant on experience.

- Meaningful stock options.

- Offices a stone’s throw from Old Street tube.

- The opportunity to take a leading, hands-on role in building an exciting and ambitious music company.

If the above interests you, then we’d love to talk. Contact me: rob <somehow> mixlr.com.

Sorry, but we're not hiring remotely at this time.

Thanks, Ben

For what it's worth (and as far as I'm aware), H1B visas are now capped (i.e. full) until October 1st, 2012 - applications are accepted from April 1st - so there may not be much sense in companies including the keyword "H1B" as requested, unless they're looking to fill a roll later in the year..

Nextpeer - Tel-Aviv:

So weird, I just sent out this email today looking for our very first employee :)

Nextpeer has been growing at an insane rate we're now looking for our first employee. We're looking for startup-minded people, who want to take on an influential role in our company.

A little bit about us - we're changing the way people are playing games on their mobile phones (here's a short article about us http://www.insidemobileapps.com/2011/12/06/nextpeer-multipla...). We're funded with offices in Ramat Hahayal. Being our first employee will be both a privilege and a responsibility.

We're searching for someone smart, creative and independent. Tech skills should include either mobile (iOS) or backend (PHP+DB+Node.js) knowledge. Most importantly though, we're looking for a person who is passionate about gaming.

If you're interested you can contact me directly at daniel <at> nextpeer.com

Ilastik (http://ilastik.org) is a collaborative open-source project with the aim of providing a scalable image analysis platform for the neurosciences and beyond. Current ilastik development seeks to bring the power of interactive machine learning to very large data sets.

Janelia Farm (http://www.janelia.org), one of the premier centers for biomedical research worldwide, is funding a Scientific Software Developer (Janelia Farm Research Campus, Ashburn, VA with visits to Heidelberg University, Germany) to reach that goal quickly. Tasks include the refinement of the architecture, the integration with existing tools and the design of a graphical user interface for handling of very large microscopic data sets using image analysis and machine learning algorithms. The software developer will also support proof-of-principle studies on pioneering applications from the neurosciences, and liaise between experts at Janelia Farm and ilastik core developers at the University of Heidelberg.

The position requires a strong background in C++, experience in software engineering applied to large projects, and the skills to integrate existing algorithms and functionality into a unifying biomedical processing framework. Experience with python, Qt, numpy, scipy and scientific parallel programming is a plus. Good communication skills are essential to make for good cooperation both with local experts and with other programmers working remotely. Salary is commensurate with prior experience and will be highly competitive for extremely well-matched candidates.

The principal work place is on the beautiful campus of Janelia Farm, with regular visits to Heidelberg. The successful candidate will be in a position to help shape a project that is becoming an enabling technology in one of the most interesting fields conceivable: the deciphering of the inner workings of the brain.
