Ask HN: Who is hiring? (December 2017)

Level 12 | Full Stack Web Developer - Python, React, SQL | Louisville, KY | REMOTE, SALARY:$75K-115K, https://www.level12.io/careers/

We have openings for mid & senior/lead level positions. Please see our website for what is probably the most detailed job description you have ever seen. No plain, repetitive, HR riddled job description here, we want you to know what you are really getting into:

https://www.level12.io/careers/

- We have a commitment to transparency and offer a “no surprises experience” throughout the interview and hiring process.

- We practice and preach sound development practices. You are likely to learn and grow as a developer while working here.

- You will have the option of working from home or our office, whatever suits you best. Let’s make the most of our time and minimize commuting when not necessary.

- We have a no-drama office policy. We value and cultivate enjoyable working relationships among team members.

- We emphasize work/life balance and adopt policies that make sure our people don’t get burnt out. For instance, our PTO/Vacation policies are designed so that you actually use them.

- A commitment to Agile Principles while not being enslaved to any particular methodology.

- You have the skills and experience (3-6 years) to be a mid-level or senior-level (6-10 years) full-stack web application developer.

- You like building full stack web applications with technologies like Python, React, SQL, etc.

- You are committed to automated testing of all the software you write (our apps typically have 92%+ test coverage).

- You recognized that there is a lot of idealism in the software development community and are not disenchanted with the the day-to-day realities of programming.

- You like working independently but can take direction from the team lead and contribute to a team as needed

- If you apply as instructed, we will give you a yay or nay response. No black holes here!

Remote candidates must still be in the US.

I see the role is open to junior engineers. Are you open to engineers with nontraditional backgrounds who are less experienced? My partner has been working towards transitioning into software engineering and may a good fit. She has implemented some pretty cool projects in django/react/reactnative and with mentorship could be a standout.

If so let me know and I'll refer her to you.

United Income | FinTech Startup | Full Stack Engineer - Node and/or Python background | Onsite in Washington, DC | Full Time

We’re hiring! United Income is a fintech startup looking to add engineering talent to our team. Email us at engineering@unitedincome.com if this describes you.

• Do you care about delivering quality product to your users?

• Is providing maintainable, tested code to your fellow engineers (and future self) important to you?

• Do you have a deep understanding of Javascript or Python?

• When you encounter a problem that isn't neatly packaged and fully defined, are you passionate about digging into it and refining a solution?

If you can answer yes to these questions, you'll find working here exciting and engaging.

At United Income, we value collaboration. We encourage one another to build phenomenal things, and individually we’re all passionate about doing our best work. You'll be responsible for solving some hard problems in consumer finance. As you tackle these problems head on, you'll work with others across the company to make sure you have all the information you need.

Some of our engineering roles involve cool mathematical modeling. If you can engineer and you also have fun thinking about math, we have some opportunities for you that can be difficult to find in standard engineering jobs. We are committed to equal opportunity and diverse hiring. Even more important than hiring is supporting our diverse team, and we are dedicated to equitable pay and transparency.

As you know, this industry moves FAST. If you have 10 years of Node.js experience...well we think you’re lying ;) We don't expect you to be familiar with our entire tech stack (buzzwords: Javascript/Python/React/AWS/CI/CD/Git). What’s important is your willingness and ability to learn. We want to see your curiosity and passion for what’s out there.

At United Income, you'll have access to a great benefits package:

• 100% employee coverage and 60% dependent coverage for our reference plan on DC Health Link, dental insurance, and vision insurance

• HSA contributions ($500 individual/$1000 family) - high deductible plan required (this is included in our reference plan)

• Short Term Disability and Life insurance

• 21 days/4 weeks paid vacation per year

• 401k plan with matching

• Gym, rooftop terrace, in-building showers, bike storage

• Up to 4 weeks annual paid parental/family leave

• Close to DC’s Red/Blue/Silver/Orange lines

Elastic's reviews on Glassdoor are stellar: https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/Elastic-Reviews-E751551.ht.... I work with the parent on Kibana and the reviews don't even tell the full story of how nice it is to work here.
