[ 4.6 ms ] story [ 310 ms ] threadAclima is an early-stage company based in San Francisco that designs and deploys distributed, large-scale sensor networks to empower people with actionable environmental quality data. Our end-to-end solutions collect, process and analyze real-time streaming data from thousands of sensors, enabling a level of environmental awareness that has never been possible before. We believe our technologies can redefine the way we imagine and manage our buildings, communities, and cities, helping us improve our collective well-being. We are looking for passionate engineers to help build and scale our platform. We have no required list of skills or years of experience. Instead, we’re looking for engineers who are smart and get things done. Python experience will come in handy, though, as well as experience with large-scale distributed system development. Our engineering culture values rapid iteration, continuous improvement, and as much automation as is sensible. We work in a relaxed, purpose-driven atmosphere with flexible hours and competitive perks.
Our stack includes: Python 2.7, Git, MariaDB, Cassandra, Nginx, NSQ, Redis, Ansible
If you’re up for the challenge, contact us: jobs@aclima.io
More than anything, we try to make CircleCI a great place to work. You might love it too if you like:
- working with great people who you can learn from
- to work on developer tools
- building a product that customers love, and pay for
- working with Clojure and ClojureScript
- flat, transparent cultures (we're inspired a lot by Valve and similar companies) [1]
- to work remotely, or to have your own private office in SF [2]
We're hiring lots of roles, esp in engineering, design, dev-success, and dev-marketing (patio11-style marketing engineers).

It would be nice if you could make a new key available (RSA with 3072 or 4096 bit) for either the iwanttohack address or your own address, and preferrably link to it on your hiring page. It would underscore your privacy credo and help you stand out from the crowd. (Sadly, even here in the HN Who's Hiring thread, few people have a PGP key and even fewer include it in their job postings.)
Location: New York, NY
Postion: Full-time on-site software engineer
TheLadders' mission is to match people with the jobs that are right for them. In order to do that we need a strong engineering team.
Currently we are looking for a software engineer to join our Platform Engineering Team. This team is responsible for developing and maintaining the software and systems that power our websites, mobile applications, and marketing.
A few things about us:
* We try to use the right tool for the right job; maybe a shell script, maybe multiple Storm topologies communicating via RabbitMQ and reading data from internal web services. And while we have found some tools that work, we're always willing to incorporate new ones if they give us a new way of tackling a problem.
* We know that engineering is all about understanding tradeoffs, not applying the same solution over and over again to every problem.
* Sometimes we get to work with fun new tools (Scala, Clojure, Storm, Elastic Search), sometimes we work with old standards (Java, Python, Bash). Sometimes we write cool new code, sometimes we are on call dealing with a production issue.
* We think pushing code into production is only the beginning of our job. We are responsible for what we put out in the world, including monitoring and maintainence.
A few things about you:
* You're an engineer, but you know how to think like an operations person.
* You cut your teeth in open source software, and know how to find documents, read the source, ask for help, and report a bug.
* You're excited about glamorous work, but you're willing to sometimes do shit work, because in the end somebody has do it.
If this sounds interesting and you think you'd be a good match, or if you're interested in learning the skills to become a good match, please get in touch with Andrew Turley (aturley@theladders.com).
We are building the AI platform that helps 3000+ developers create apps that understand human language [1].
We’d like to hear from you if:
- You are a full-stack software engineer: you know how to build entire projects/features from Web UI to core ML algorithms
- You are curious: you can’t resist the urge to solve hard problems, learn new domains, try new things, and you don’t take “that’s impossible” for an answer
- You have done many mistakes (we know you won’t make them again)
Experience in NLP/Speech/Machine Learning is not required (and actually we also like when you don’t have any: curiosity > knowledge). Being ready to learn/do whatever it takes to succeed, from Clojure to Javascript to supporting users to C to assembling furniture, is expected though.

You already know why it's spam.
From my understanding, the intent of this posting seems to be about startups connecting with HN readers. With your links, I feel like it's advertising for those companies and these companies aren't genuinely interested in hiring us. If they would be, they would post there. From what I have seen so far, these companies just posted their jobs at your wfh.io and this seems like a growth hack attempt to get traffic on wfh.io.
Anyway, the fact that people do click indicates interest, however since all comments here are negative I'll refrain from making any further posts to these threads. I don't want to tarnish the site in the name of getting some additional clicks.
It goes against the spirit of the thread, which is a company posting that they are hiring. Job boards are spam. Unless you are hiring someone at your company or looking for a job yourself, this thread is of no value to you.
> Been posting here for months; didn't realize it was a problem. I'll refrain from doing so in future. The site is completely free (from ads also), so didn't feel I was stepping on any toes! --Matt
"Feel free to post any job that may interest HN readers from executive assistant to machine learning expert to CTO."
My current post, which includes actual job openings, abides by that statement. Judging by the # of people that go ahead and click, I'd say readers here are interested in the jobs on WFH.io and therefore I am not doing a disservice by posting.
What would it take to convince you to post the Hiring thread on the first weekday of every month?
A hiring thread posted on a Sunday seems like a waste to me.
Thanks for keeping up with this stuff, by the way!
We're hiring all sorts of software engineers and data scientists. We've got some pretty fun problems -- image search, video search, storage scalability, tons of behavioral data to mine -- and an awesome team. We prefer folks to work in one of our offices, but are always willing to consider remote superstars.

Do you have an eye for beauty? Do you know when you should be using SQL vs no-SQL? Do you want your code to effect 6,000,000 people a day?
Qubit is personalising the web, and we need more engineers to work on filling the demand. From collecting our data, to developing cutting-edge visualisation tools to finding compelling means for other developers to consume your work, the life of a engineer is varied and full of joy!
We're well looked after here in our Soho office, with a fully stocked kitchen (that you barely need to use, since we are on top of the foodie Berwick St market), a dedicated Chief Lifestyle Officer and a culture of getting shit done. The best brands in the world use our products and we want the best engineers to be creating them!
If you breathe Javascript, live on the command line and can create a quadrocopter from scratch, then you'll fit in here and we want to hear from you.
Drop us a line at careers+HN@qubitproducts.com, telling us a bit about yourself!
We have an otherwise unadvertised full time position (3 month contract to start) open that I think is the coolest job ever: We'd like to hire a Data Evangelist; someone who looks at the reams of data flowing in from websites like Sportsnet.ca, TodaysParent.com, NextIssue.ca and 680News.com and humanizes it by finding two or three key things those brands can act on to better meet their audience's needs.
The candidate would have lived through multiple website projects and would be able to suggest how to further instrument a website with analytics to capture data to help drive growth. They'd also have strong communication skills, as they'd be shifting focus month to month to try to spend time with lots of our brand websites and would meet with senior leaders of those brands to talk over their findings.
If you or someone you know is interested, drop me a line at sully.syed@rci.rogers.com . You'd be coming to work at 350 Bloor St. E for a division that acts like a startup-within-a-company, with people who aren't afraid to experiment and are trying to forment a data-driven culture.
Data science, devops, engineering. Python & Javascript primarily, hiring 3 engineers today.
I'm the technical cofounder, and I've never worked with a smarter group of people in one place. It's a great team, doing important things for the fourth biggest industry in the world (fashion), helping them reduce waste and be more efficient.
We have a beautiful webapp, used every day by hundreds of people at ASOS, Gilt Groupe, Target, Gap and more.
Full Stack .NET Software Engineer who are comfortable working on Macbook Pros and understand that .NET is just a tool, not a lifestyle.
Spanish fluency and strong front-end skills a big plus.

We're a startup trying to reinvent retail so men can dress well without being subject to the horrors of the high street or having to trawl through millions of items online. We do this using a combination of powerful algorithms and human stylists.
You'd be joining a small, highly technical team with a ton of startup experience (the founders have started and sold 2 companies before). You'll be one of the first technical hires and get to build and own huge parts of the product and work on the core algorithms. One of our ancillary goals is to build one of the best engineering cultures anywhere, and we'd love you to help us do that. We launched in October and user and revenue numbers are scaling extremely quickly. We're backed by a collection of the top investors from London and Silicon Valley as well as Y Combinator.
We're especially interested in people who are interested in founding their own startup one day. We view working at Thread as a founder bootcamp where you'll learn about all parts of starting and growing a startup.

And conquer we shall! We've grown 100% quarter over quarter all last year and another 100% just in the last month. Our team has surged to 30+ people and the waves of revenue washed together to form a rushing roar with just one of our products going from nothing to $200k/month in under a year.
Being a media company we find our way into all kinds of cool stuff. Our office is furnished with things like a $3000 high-end bed that was sent to us to review. We got to talk to and get pictures with Warren Buffett and Lloyd Blankfein (CEO of Goldman Sachs) when they came to Detroit.
But, you interject, finance is one of the toughest startup seas to sail upon! The old boys club runs an ironclad ship with no visible decks for boarding. Avast! We've built a battering ram of a business in just a few short years that has pummeled its way deep into the heart of Wall Street. Old Ironsides has warmed itself to Benzinga and once a taste the thirst cannot be quenched.

And if you happen to trade or invest yourself you'll find us inside almost all of the major brokerages in the US.
So, where do you fit in this rigging, you swashbuckling scalawag? Well, our team is crazy ambitious, motivated, and experienced with shaking shit up. If you know your tech, and want on deck this is the place to do it. Your exact technical background and language of choice doesn't matter as much as your motivation and your ability to adapt quickly.
We are a young team and we're especially looking for sailors who've got some salt in their whiskers who can help us scale from millions to hundreds of millions.
Why be a ninja when you can be a pirate? This ship is forging a new course, send an email to dev-us@benzinga.com to board!

We are looking for a few great developers to help make Ionic and web technologies the leading platform for mobile development.
The first role we are looking for is a core contributor to our open source GitHub project (https://github.com/driftyco/ionic). As a core contributor, you will work with the existing contributor team to add new features to the framework, fix issues, interact with the community, and build out build and test services. We are looking for strong Javascript developers that love the web but are interested in adapting native concepts to the browser. We are lucky to say we get to work on open source as a full time job!
We are also looking for two backend developers to help build out our as yet unreleased backend services and tools which will give Ionic developers some unique and powerful features that make building on Ionic very compelling. Come help us build out our service stack on AWS with Docker, Python, and Go.
In the few months since Ionic has been out, the project has seen some really great adoption. With 6200 stars, Ionic is one of the top 120 projects on github and rising quickly. Traffic is growing 40% month over month, and our developer community is becoming very strong. Come join our team of 12 (a mixture of Madison and remote in the US) in making native development a thing of the past! (More about our company: http://techcrunch.com/2014/03/10/drifty-makers-of-the-ionic-...)
To apply, either send an email to max AT ionicframework DOT com, or apply on AngelList: https://angel.co/ionic-2
Work ranges from frontend (AngularJS) to backend (Java/REST).
We are hiring all over the world.
I've posted a long gist about our team, the product, and some of our development processes here: https://gist.github.com/timf/892ef751a146787e4784
