Ask HN: Who is hiring? (January 2014)

We're seeking an DevOps Engineer to help us maintain the reliability of our core services, grow our engineering processes as we build new applications, and automate as much as possible.

We are a small, close-knit, and enthusiastic team of hackers building analytics that measure the ROI of social media. Our engineering culture embraces data-driven decision making, failing fast, and abiding by the UNIX philosophy: building small, powerful tools with clean interfaces. Additionally, we live on our internal IRC server, relish an opportunity to discuss new technology, and have a bi-monthly board game night.

At Khan Academy, I truly believe that you can find all of those things and more. We're a small, 50-person non-profit tech startup making a big difference in the world. Here's a testimonial we received just last night:

December 31, 2013

I have recently turned thirteen, and accompanied by your proficient and efficient teaching style, I have successfully advanced into multi-variable calculus. When I was 9 I began Calculus. However when I started these courses, I was capable of grasping these concepts in a deep level of intuition. Now I am advancing into Green's Theorem, Triple Integrals, Divergence, Curl, Gradient, and Partial Derivatives. In essence, I would just like to say thank you for providing this revolutionary interconnected education interface. Hopefully I will be taking the AP Calculus examinations soon!

Thank you for everything!

How cool is that? Think of how many similar students are born to learn advanced math and science but never get the chance. We're working to change this. This letter is one story; every month we hear about hundreds more lives like this that we've totally transformed.

We're starting to do a big mobile push. Around 20% of our traffic comes from phones and tablets but we have only two mobile devs right now. We're totally overhauling our iOS app; if you join us now you can build large parts of a product that's guaranteed to have millions of users. If you are (or you know) a mobile developer we can build a great team around, please reach out. You can't find this sort of opportunity in very many places.

Lots of people know us for Sal's videos, but we also have hundreds of videos by other teachers and a huge library of interactive exercises. Our 100,000+ math problems have been done over 1.5 billion times total. That's a huge number.

With this scale, we're able to study learning in a way that no one has previously been able to do. We've run tests which show that students learn more when they're advanced quicker by a custom machine-learning algorithm [1]. Right now we have dozens of A/B tests running to help us understand what we can do to make people learn more, such as testing how Socratic-style lectures affect engagement. (We're also beginning to release anonymized data to interested researchers.)

Whether you're a machine learning guru or you take pride in perfecting UI details for a dropdown menu [2], we have something for you. You'll be working alongside a small team with the best in the business – though we have "celebrity" devs like jQuery creator John Resig and Google's first employee (and former Director of Technology) Craig Silverstein, we have many more you haven't heard of but who are just as awesome.

We really have a great team and culture. We use (and contribute to) new technology [3], we invest heavily in mentoring interns (and full-timers) [4], we have lots of fun at and around work [5], and even though we're a non-profit, we pay well too.

---

As I said above, mobile is a big priority for us and we're doing everything we can to find great mobile devs.

We're hiring engineers (frontend, backend, mobile, data science), product designers, a community manager, and more. And if you want to have an amazing summer (or fall or spring) building real features for real users, we're hiring interns too.

Please apply at https://www.khanacademy.org/careers directly (say you saw us on HN!), but if y...

Optim.al / Brand Networks (https://www.optimalsocial.com/) is hiring full stack and dev-ops engineers for our London office, working on real time bidding, analytics, data science and front end web applications.

Requirements:

    * BS or MS degree in computer science, mathematics, or related field.
    * Good understanding of web technologies HTML, Javascript, HTTP, JSON, REST
    * Can demonstrate that you're a great 
      programmer in at least one of Scala, Python, Java, Clojure, Haskell, 
      F#, Kotlin or Ruby
    * Willing to work in Python, Scala and Java
    * Good understanding of a Unix based operating system
    * Some experience of databases and at least one web application framework

We aim to allow users to understand the socio-economics of any location, from the population of a country to the crime rate of a postcode. Organisations can then use this data to improve their decision-making, whether it's businesses making strategic sales and marketing decisions, NGOs trying to understand a country, or somebody else entirely.

The two main technical challenges we face are:

* Importing data from many different sources, from APIs to Excel files, and understanding their structure. For instance, given an Excel file, we need to determine the structure of any tables, such as which columns represent a location. We also want to pick up as much metadata as possible, such as a description of the dataset.

* Designing a UI that allows users to find what they're looking for, and then making that UI fast (we're currently up to about 10,000,000 datasets and 200,000,000 data points)

Our technology stack:

* Postgres + PostGIS to store the data we've imported

* Elasticsearch for... search

* Python code to import data from the original source to our database (with a tiny bit of Redis for some basic queueing)

* A thin PHP web application to display the data (probably soon to be replaced by node.js)

Things we like:

* Test-driven development and good test coverage (when it makes sense -- sometimes, it's better to manually test a very thin UI than to keep worrying about brittle UI tests)

* Releasing early and often. We deploy features as they're ready, and try to break work down to small pieces.

* Doing the simplest thing that could possibly work. Rather than planning for every possibility up front, we implement something small but useful to start with, and then iterate and refactor as necessary.

What we're looking for:

We were founded in Cambridge last year, and we're now working towards a product covering public data for the UK.

We're looking for a software developer to join us, initially part-time for £1,000 a month + stock option plan. We're joining Microsoft Ventures in London from February 2013, so you can join us in Cambridge or London, or work remotely.

If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch: contact@stat.io. If you'd like to apply, please send us a CV and a paragraph describing why you're interested.

You can find out more about us on our website: http://www.stat.io/

Moka5 makes life easier for large corporate IT departments who have too many computers to manage, and life better for end-users who would otherwise have to deal with a corporate IT department that's enforcing ridiculously restrictive policies for their own sanity. Our primary product, Moka5 Player, delivers you a VM image of a corporate system that you can run on your own computer (Windows or Mac). You can install whatever software you want, and we automatically split new files into "layers", so IT can push a new base layer that takes effect as soon as you reboot, and you can press a button and wipe all locally-installed software including IE toolbars and other nonsense, but keep IT-provided software and non-application files like documents. Since it's running locally, you can get work done offline (unlike Citrix, VMware View, etc.), and not hate your life if you're not on the LAN. We also do a bunch of security work to make it reasonable to run a corporate VM on your personal machine: this way, you're not stuck carrying two laptops around.

One product that's been seeing lots of growth is Moka5 BareMetal, a stripped-down Ubuntu derivative that boots directly into Moka5 Player. By providing our usual management capabilities on an underlying OS you don't have to think about, you get the benefits of our product (easier updates, layering, single image, etc.) on corporate-owned hardware. We're also writing iOS and Android apps for remotely accessing your files and other data on the go (even when you don't have a network connection), and currently finishing up a client-side encrypted filesystem for synchronizing your files between your desktop and mobile device. There's also quite a bit of work on the server side -- you get to solve fun problems about reliability, scalability, and geographic redundancy, but since we sell a product and not a service, nobody on our team has to carry a pager and get woken up to fix things for customers.

We're not per se a virtualization company: we don't write the hypervisor, since other people already do a great job of that. We do write a lot of things just above and just below the hypervisor layer, and in general a lot of computer systems work. If you enjoy operating systems, file systems, virtualization, or networking, come talk to us. If dynamic-linker trickery sounds like your idea of fun, we'll get along well. We work in C++ and C# on the desktop, J2EE on the server, and the native languages (Objective-C and Java) on mobile; there is also a fair amount of open source work to be done in various languages, and we try to be good citizens and work with upstream.

See moka5.com for more info, and send me an email (gthomas at that domain name) if you're interested! I'm in Boston all January and will be at the Real World Crypto conference in NYC, so if you're in one of those cities and want to say hello, I'd be glad to chat.

Want to build beautiful, intuitive UIs and data visualizations that will enable world class venture capital firms and Fortune 500 corporations to predict the future?

You have:

Extensive experience with Javascript, CSS and HTML, as that will be your primary focus. We work with d3.js, knockout.js, and jQuery to name a few tools.

You don't need to know them all but you're excited at the prospect of learning about them.

Strong programming skills, you laugh off your peers who dismiss Javascript as a second rate language.

Familiarity with the full stack, as you will be called upon to do things such as pull data from an API.

An eye for design.

You enjoy:

Building data visualizations like the ones we use for our Investor Mosaic models.

Working with a talented team, but are self-motivated and have the ability to work alone too.

Developing and maintaining great software with an emphasis on speed and scalability.

You want to help us:

Discover ways of presenting data to our customers that will make them better at what they do.

Continually improve our product by developing new features and enhancing current ones.

Ultimately disrupt an information services industry whose software applications still look like they were built in 1983.

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

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.
