Ask HN: Who is hiring? (November 2015)

LiquidTalent | ONSITE in NYC

LiquidTalent allows you to click a button and request a phone call with awesome hiring companies (for both contract and full-time).

Hirers need to respond within 30 minutes or else the request expries, and you'll know what they decide in that time.

We're looking for a senior Rails dev to help us build out more powerful search and discovery features on our platform. You'd be working with the engineer lead (Rails dev), 1 other junior Rails dev, 1 senior Angular dev, and 1 Swift dev.

We're a super early startup with seed funding. It's an amazing time to join, as you'll have a lot of autonomy, and you'll have a good amount of control over the direction of the product. Every week is a completely different experience.

If any of this sounds interesting, contact me at ken {at} liquidtalent {dot} com

Harvard Center for International Development - Onsite in Cambridge, MA (next to Boston)

https://github.com/cid-harvard/job-descriptions

* UI Developer (Visa possible) * Web and Data Developers (Visa possible) * Web Development INTERNS

What we do: We take real world government data and research, and turn them into interactive data viz tools. The Atlas of Economic Complexity is our current online tool that lets you interactively visualize a country’s trade and explore growth opportunities for more than a hundred countries worldwide. There are also other National Atlas projects launching soon, one for Colombia and one for Mexico.

Our stack: We use python, django, mysql (hopefully postgres soon), elasticsearch, ansible for the back end. For the frontend, it's ember / d3 on big national projects, jquery/d3 on atlas.cid.harvard.edu/ and WebGL with Three.js on some 3d projects that we’ve launched such as globe.cid.harvard.edu/ Everything we do is open source: https://github.com/cid-harvard

Demo of the current atlas: An example of how the atlas is useful take this story here: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/03/21/world/europe/h...

Last year the EU placed sanctions on sales of oil equipment, but not on oil imports. Why could this be? Almost 70% of russia's exports are petrol products: http://atlas.cid.harvard.edu/explore/tree_map/export/rus/all...

And Russia exports the overwhelming majority of its petroleum products to Europe: http://atlas.cid.harvard.edu/explore/tree_map/export/rus/sho...

The big blue chunk is europe, meaning a sanction would really hurt Russia. However, when you look at who else the EU could buy from, the situation is grim: http://atlas.cid.harvard.edu/explore/tree_map/net_export/sho...

There’s practically no one who’s a real political ally that Europe could depend on, save for Norway. It’s interesting how it’s practically impossible to buy oil from a country that’s relatively stable and doing well on the HDI front. It’s worse if you consider the cost of transporting it, and how close Russia is: http://atlas.cid.harvard.edu/explore/map/net_export/show/all...

Which probably explains why EU hasn't placed sanctions on oil imports from Russia. Get in touch:Send us some work you're proud of to greg_shapiro at hks dot harvard dot edu.
