[ 4.7 ms ] story [ 229 ms ] threadBut if these posts don't show up on time on the first of the month, others will post them and they will be upvoted. Moderators would have to kill loads of posts until the appointed time.
Moving the thread is definitely a solvable problem, but I'm not sure that it is worth the extra moderation work. Furthermore, neither your whoishiring bot or its caretaker is a moderator.
The reason why is because HN WIH has now gotten to the point where it's a regular feature and people expect it, like clockwork. I think folks who check in on Monday who read it every month will find it and upvote it anyway. This isn't a strongly held opinion, though.
Founded by a team of former Digital Chocolate and EA data leads, Omniata (http://www.omniata.com) integrates analytics, CRM, user engagement and A/B testing platforms into one solution. The company is well funded (http://www.creandum.com/why-creandum-invested-omniata/) & headquartered in SF. The bulk of R&D will be done in the Helsinki office which at the moment only has a small team, so this is a great opportunity to get in early and grow with the company.
As a backend engineer you’ll be part of the team responsible for infrastructure code handling millions of events each month. Tasks will include improving existing components and creating new systems for scaling, automating and monitoring of processes. Knowledge of Perl & Bash is expected, however if you’re more comfortable with another dynamic language like Python or Ruby and have a good grasp of low level Linux, we should still talk. Familiarity with C would also be an advantage.
As a UX designer you will be responsible for a creating the UIs and improving the UX of Omniata's web interfaces that allow Omniata's customers to make the most of their data. Basic knowledge of HTML, CSS and JavaScript would be a plus, but is not a must.
If you're at all interested in this area and Helsinki as a place to live and work, drop a one line email with a link to your LinkedIn and GitHub profile (in the case of backend) or portfolio (in the case of UX) to careers-hl@omniata.com

ClubCollect has created a service for sports clubs and other organizations to make invoicing of club members a breeze. Invoicing, reminding, online payments: everything is processed via ClubCollect. Since we're entering the German market we're looking for a developer who is proficient in German (speaking & writing). Reason: ability to discuss API interfaces with German developers of external accounting systems and perfecting the localization of ClubCollect.
We're a small team (just eight people), we love remote working but we also like to get together for beers and a great dinner.
ClubCollect is built in Ruby (+ Ruby on Rails) and JavaScript (+ jQuery). We value simplicity, creative solutions, and the ability to get things done. You will have the opportunity to contribute to all areas of our code base.
- B.S. in Computer Science or equivalent experience (proven ability matters more to us than degrees) - Fluent in at least one dynamically-typed, object-oriented language (e.g. Ruby, Python) - Several years experience with a modern web framework such as Rails or Django
@recruiters: please don't contact us, we're not interested.
* A test on the core technologies, programming languages and paradigms the company uses.
* Test can be taken over a period of time, say 6 months maximum.
* The system is able to recommend questions that really identifies people good at a particular thing.
* The system is able to recommend books and other resources for job applicants.
* As an applicant, starting a test is only a declaration of intent to work at a certain company or related (in terms of core tech, etc) ones.
Maybe there are products like that already or are in the making. It'd be a more useful job application process. Otherwise I'd be happy to join anyone build it.
Even if it isn't mandatory, since a person without a degree may not know what a specific degree implies.
Counterparty is a freely licensed and open-source platform for peer-to-peer finance that lives on the Bitcoin blockchain.

You must be eligible to work in Canada.
Who: K2 and Associates. We're one of Canada's more successful hedge funds over the past 13 years.
----------------------------- What you'll do -----------------------------
We are building out our algorithmic trading infrastructure and you have a chance to get in at the ground floor. Come help us turn our technology team from an integral part of how we do business into a profit center with its own PnL.
We've got the first iteration working and its making money. You're going to make it more efficient.
----------------------------- Who you are -----------------------------
You are a developer who can take an academic paper and turn it into a working prototype because what you are designing won't have been done before.
If you draw a triangle and place computer science, statistics and finance at each of the corners, you're area of expertise is right in the middle. If you don't know finance, don't worry, we'll teach it to you.
You value correctness above all else because when you send 100,000 orders a day if you get 1% of them wrong, bad things will happen...
You are comfortable with F# or C++.

We're building the world's first corporate bond trading platform written in Node.js. Why is that interesting? Turns out the corporate bond market is a 10 Trillion dollar market that still works like it did in 1978, with traders calling each other up on the phone. Modernization in equities never made it to the bond market, all the biggest players are calling for new solutions (http://bit.ly/1tLXFZq), and that's exactly what we're building. The incumbents in this space are big, slow moving enterprises with six to twelve month release cycles and a fear of Open Source software. We use cutting edge tools push out updates and new features within days and are releasing our own tools back to the community: https://github.com/electronifie, https://hakkalabs.co/articles/eventually-consistent-distribu...
Want to solve amazingly exciting problems with a small team of very experienced engineers? Want to help disrupt FinTech by leveraging OpenSource tools and running circles around the competition?
Come join us.
