Ask HN: Who is hiring? (May 2013)

Social media researcher (INTERN, REMOTE)

Repustate (https://www.repustate.com) specializes in machine learning technology and multilingual social media analytics.

We're looking for an intern to publish white papers highlighting interesting trends or insights from social media. Work would include picking a few interesting hypotheses about social media (e.g. "Facebook fans of Coke own bigger houses") doing the research using Repustate's API (we have full access to the Twitter Firehose as well as Google+ & Facebook's data) and other company tools, then publishing a report based on your findings. We'll work together to find which ideas are worth pursuing and then you'll have all the freedom (and support) in the world to help you complete your report.

Ideally:

- You are looking to get into data science

- You are interested by statistics of some sorts and have used some stats package in the past

- You enjoy writing

- You're OK with rolling up your sleeves and doing a little bit of programming on your own

You can be located anywhere in the world - and we pay well.

Contact us through our website and mention this HN posting.

I'd love for you to come join Buffer for the fun ride. We have over 650,000 users and are on a $1.3m+ annual revenue run rate. There are some super interesting challenges ahead, as we are looking to pass a million users in 2013. We are expecting even faster growth in the coming months through our mobile efforts.

We need help on 2 areas right now:

1. Android:

    - Android is our second highest source of signups for Buffer, only
      trailing behind Web which was our original platform.
    - our users love the app, which has a 4.3 rating on Google Play.
    - the app has 100k+ total downloads and 3k daily active users.
    - we work with Google Play, Kindle and Blackberry stores.

2. Full stack:

    - we get 1,500-2,000 signups per day on the web
    - we have 160,000 weekly active users for our Chrome extension
    - 4,500 API clients. Most popular: Feedly, IFTTT, Pocket, Instapaper
    - we ship to production multiple times a day
    - we have a data-driven process, with Einstein, our custom
      built a/b testing framework

We're a small team of driven hackers and happiness heroes (our support people). Just like you, we're excited and passionate about engineering challenges and have some interesting architecture and scaling problems we work on.

If you're interested in coming on board, you will:

    - work closely myself on Product and Sunil on technical
      architecture
    - ship to thousands of users and iterate quickly
    - work with our metrics team to make smart changes
    - be friendly and comfortable talking directly to customers
      on issues and features
    - be a happy, positive-minded and kind person who has a great
      approach in dealing with others
    - be a Buffer user (would be awesome, it’s cool if not)
    - be anywhere in the world, and if you'd like, you have help and
      support from us to move to where you want to be
    - have experience working with another startup before (would
      be awesome, it’s cool if not)

Some aspects of Buffer culture that makes us a little different:

    - we are totally transparent. We raised $450k, we currently
      have 650k users and generate $110k/mo. Ask me anything else!
    - within the company, all salaries and equity are open and we
      have a formula for the distribution.
    - we're all very focused on self improvement - we have daily
      standups where we discuss our current improvements. This
      could be waking up earlier, starting public speaking, blogging,
      exercise, learning a language, etc.
