Ask HN: Who is hiring? (November 2013)

http://www.mutuallyhuman.com/

---------------------------------------

We are a small team passionate about making people's lives better through software.

A little bit about us:

  - We write custom software of all shapes and sizes for clients all over the US

  - Though everyone here is fluent in Ruby, we don't artificially limit ourselves.
    In the past few months, I've worked with Objective-C, Backbone.js (inside
    PhoneGap), Angular.js, Ruby (of course) and a little bit of Java and C#.

  - We practice a sustainable pace. We recognize that we each have lives,
    activities, and families outside of work. Late nights and > 40 hour weeks are
    rare by design.

  - We're agile, but not dogmatic about it. Our process evolves to suit our needs.

  - We offer competitive salaries, health/vision/dental insurance, quarterly profit
    sharing, retirement + match, weekly catered lunches, and a top-floor office
    with snacks, guitars, and your choice of standing or sitting desks.

  - 2.5 hours from Chicago and Detroit, less than an hour to the beach.

  - Lots of great beer. Founders Brewery (a mile from our office) has 3 beers in
    the Beer Advocate top 15. HopCat is a “World Class” bar on BA.
    Just look here: http://beeradvocate.com/beerfly/city/43

  - If you’re renting anything larger than a breadbox in the Bay Area or NYC,
    you can afford a house here. I bought a nice house with a mortgage payment
    30% lower than the rent of my 1 bedroom apartment in Mountain View.

  - A growing technology and startup community.

  - You love writing software, and you have a few years of experience doing it.

  - You learn new stuff quickly. You’ve used a lot of technologies, but you’re not
    afraid to use more. It would be nice if you use and love Ruby, but not required.

  - You believe software is written for humans, not computers.

  - You want to come into work every day and enjoy the people you work with.

-- About the team

Over 25 million people use TurboTax software every year to file their taxes. But many more millions still walk into a tax store. You will be joining the small team of successful startup people that are disrupting the multi-billion dollar tax industry with their first product, TurboTax CPA Select. The service provides high quality tax help at a fraction of the price of a tax store by allowing consumers to connect with quality tax professionals online. The unique team is heavily financed by Intuit---makers of TurboTax, Quickbooks, and Mint---while still living and breathing “lean startup” to ultimately build a service anyone can use.

We at Likeable Local are looking to grow our team and seeking two talented and motivated software engineers. One immediate role would be perfect for someone who is great with numbers and analytics. The other role is better suited towards someone who loves working in the front-end and loves making things look and interact beautifully- with html, javascript, and css. In both cases the engineers should love building cool things, learning, and social media. We are in Portland, Maine which is atypical for Hacker News, but is a great place to live! We aren't looking for remote workers at this time.

We are a tech-startup-spinoff of the award-winning (NYC-based) agency Likeable Media, and we are looking for people that are willing to jump right in and be on our small team (currently 3 other full-time developers) creating features that will be visible and impactful and used immediately.

We are hard-working and smart, and we love to solve challenging problems. We use a lot of node.js, javascript, python, django, and the Oxford comma.

You love being a substantial contributor and are interested in the “full stack” of technologies from details of server configuration, back-end, front-end, and mobile platforms. You are self-disciplined, self-directed, but also detail-oriented in your communication about what choices you make and what you are doing.

Likeable Local offers an integrated software solution that allows small businesses to create, enhance and manage their social media presence. Likeable Local was founded in 2012 and has a deployed product that integrates with Facebook and Twitter. The software is sold on a subscription basis, allowing for attractive recurring revenue economics, and is in use by dentists, dry cleaners, florists, and jewelers and we continue to expand.

Interested? Email me at hugh@likeable.com and lets connect!

PubNub runs a globally distributed "real-time network", a cloud service that developers use to build and scale large real-time applications.

If you like mega-scale systems and tough engineering projects, PubNub is for you.

Square! In October 2012, we acquired the design firm 80/20 and have had New York based colleagues for some time now. Our logical next step was to bootstrap a NYC Engineering presence to tap in the growing community here. We just started building the Engineering team in July.

As a company, we have four main focuses.

Go international. We're adapting what made us successful in the US abroad. This is harder than typical international plays since it requires translating our four major benefits to small merchants: 1. Shipping readers, 2. Card payments (physical world is much more complex than online), 3. Sending money quickly to our merchants, a.k.a. settlement: very localized and next-day is hard on a number of fronts), 4. Assessing risk of merchants as they sign up, aka underwriting: again, very localized most countries do have FICO scores, SSN, D&B numbers and such.

Move up market. One of the biggest success of Square is to have enabled merchants who were "non-consumers" to start accepting credit cards. In classic disruptor fashion, we have essentially alonged the long tail. We haven't been eating someone else's lunch, we've created a whole new category! Now it's time to move up to bigger merchants.

The other side of the counter. With Wallet, Square Market (http://squareup.com/market) and Square Cash (http://squareup.com/cash), we're going on the other side of the counter and interacting directly with consumers. We think that we can provide the best experience for consumer-to-merchant and consumer-to-consumer commerce. We're at the infancy, but extremely well positioned to succeed.

Data as product. We're leveraging our data. We know a lot about our merchants: daily sales, seasonality, growth of their business, correlation with other events (e.g. Mapping Square Payments During the Super Bowl). Lots of innovative products are in the making which will highlight the breadth of what we do.

In NYC, we're starting with a focus on infrastructure, distributed systems, and money moving systems. We're a small team, located in SoHo, and defining the culture of engineering for Square on the East Coast.

If you're interested; I'd love to chat. Shoot me an e-mail with your resume! seantabor@squareup.com

AWESOME QA SPECIALIST NEEDED!

Obsessed with small details? Do misplaced pixels and obscure edge cases keep you up at night? We need a meticulous QA specialist to join our team and help us continue to build groundbreaking fitness and nutrition coaching software.

Our Ideal Candidate:

  Has real professional experience implementing and especially running an ongoing 
  Agile-friendly QA process. This can’t be your first rodeo.

  to Toronto once a month for 2 days at a time (for in-person sprint meetings).

  Has experience developing automated QA testing processes from scratch. Knowledge 
  of automated testing frameworks and tools is a major asset. You should be 
  comfortable with both manual and automated testing.

  Enjoys working across teams, departments to get the best outcome, even when

  description" types.  Our entire team contributes to every element of the 
  product development process.

  Is capable of working independently. There will be no other dedicated QA people 
  at first, but you’ll get help from the team.

  Has integrity, talent and a palpable excitement about the future. Shadiness,

  well-being, and long-term, piloting an entirely new form of education.

Software you write at Codified will directly influence healthcare decisions for thousands of patients. We're looking for experienced software engineers who are up to that challenge to join our small team (currently 2 founders and 1 employee).

At Codified your responsibilities will be wide - you will probably end up touching every piece of software we write, with an emphasis on our user-facing applications.

We have a large number of interesting projects under active development, spanning natural language processing, machine learning, user interface design and sequence analysis.

Skills & Requirements We're looking for software engineers. We are currently using GWT (Java) and MySQL with some scripting in Python and deploy to a Linux (CentOS) environment. We will need you to rapidly be productive with these tools if you are not familiar with them already. Additionally, you'll help us grow our team over the next few months as we continue to add engineers.

A willingness to learn is more important to us than a Biology background, but the position will require you to become familiar with the Biology that underlies what we do.

About the company We write software to help clinicians interpret exome sequence data from their patients. To do this, we aggregate large amounts of additional data on individual genes and variants, and apply a series of proprietary algorithms. We’re a young company (founded in March 2013) that is profitable with our existing customers and continuing to grow.

We specialize in creating products and consulting services for the Financial Services Industry. The principals of Blue Sage have installed mortgage and home equity lending platforms for 6 out of the top 10 lenders of the past 25 years.

We're a small startup looking to add a passionate full-stack web developer to our team. Our stack consists of Groovy/Grails, Java, JavaScript, Ext JS, MySQL, and Tomcat. We're looking for smart, talented, friendly developers that can get stuff done.

http://jobs.bloomberg.com/ http://www.bloomberg.com/ux

There are many jobs open at Bloomberg, but I'm particularly looking for intelligent software engineers and UX professionals to work under the CTO and Infrastructure team in R&D. We have roughly 4,000 R&D employees, so work is very diverse across the company. Teams are roughly 4-8 people at the lowest level and group up into larger organizations organized by product type (equities, fixed income, etc.). I happen to work on infrastructure for the Professional service (aka Terminal). Our team has very little interaction with anything finance related and most of our work is related to evolving the entire platform forward and making forward-looking changes. Back in 2005, we converted all of our higher-level "app" development to server-side JS (custom, Spidermonkey based) and now run probably the largest server-side JS stack in the world (~20MM LOC). We migrated a lot of our GUI toolkit to be scripted as well (LUA this time) to allow us to more easily evolve it. And now we're evolving it, embedding WebKit and pushing bugfixes and feature enhancements to do what we need (our fork is on GH). We're helping define and implement CSS3 Grid spec and help implement ES6 generators among other things. We built and run a third-party app store within the Terminal. Over the past decade we've rebuilt the C++ foundation of the company from the ground up, starting with our own STL implementation using the Lakos allocator model (Lakos and a few other C++ committee members work here). We have a huge wealth of awesome C++ libraries that we started open-sourcing and will continue to add more layers as time goes by.

All of what I mentioned above is stuff done by the infrastructure team, and we're a tiny percentage of the overall R&D population. Other teams get to do fun stuff as well. The mortgage team ported long-running ABS OAS calculations from Linux farms to GPU clusters and wrote a Python based cash flow engine from the ground up, potentially helping define the SEC's Python-files-must-be-included rules.

We run a worldwide network with somewhere around 35,000 circuits in 180+ countries. We ingest anywhere from 45-60 billion "ticks" daily aggregate from feeds in all of these countries. We normalize, scrub, and then re-distribute all this data to customers in all of those countries in an efficient manner. The Terminal provides analytic and visualization tools to work with market data, as well as the same tools to work with news and alerts. On the news side, we ingest over 80,000 news feeds (e.g. WSJ would be one "feed") from around the world and do the same kind of processing, applying ML for sentiment and topic classification, etc. We also design our own hardware in-house -- everything from keyboards and monitors, to custom ASICs for authentication/subscription tokens and PCIe hardware security modules for our certificate infrastructure. The web side (bloomberg.com, businessweek.com, BGOV, BLAW, Black, etc) uses mostly Rails stacks and everything you would expect to find in a web shop.

Oh, and we have a TV station, radio station, etc. They innovate too. Bloomberg TV is the first non-OTA channel to be distributed via Aereo, for instance :)

We could use a motto like "We do a lot of stuff."

Contact me if you want to discuss at andrew@ishiboo.com. If you want to chat in person, we are a sustaining sponsor of NYTM and are at all the meetups. I'll be sponsoring / attending RobotsConf in December, too.
