Ask HN: Who is hiring? (November 2013)

You have written a LOT of code in your life - but it's still fun to dive into new stuff, like websockets, nosql or Hadoop, or explore an interesting language like nodejs or ruby/rails. You find Heroku and Cloud9 intriguing. Even twenty years later, you like how the web continues to transform the way people work and live.

Coding is both art and science to you, and you're willing to share knowledge with talented up-and-coming coders, yet welcome collaboration with veteran peers from whom you still learn every day.

DramaFever is a young, ambitious and rapidly growing online video start-up that specializes in international entertainment. The company was founded in 2009 and initially focused on content from Asia, but has recently expanded into providing Spanish language programming as well. Partners include Hulu.

DramaFever's engineering team is currently seeking Full Stack and Back-end Developers (Python, Go, Django, Redis, AWS), Linux sysadmins, Devops pros, and Android developers.

Technology decisions are made for the right reasons at DramaFever, recognizing that sometimes right includes "what would be most interesting" -- our image processors and some analytics pieces are now Go. We've got a mandate to be "available everywhere", which means we're on or soon to be on every major mobile OS and every home theater platform.

The backend stack is ever evolving with new services and tools being added all the time. We use a 3rd party service when it's cost efficient and sufficiently flexible and build stand-alone in house services when that makes the most sense. Our level of automation is quite high with chef+vagrant and per-dev micro-instances for development, Jenkins built docker containers for deployments, and autoscaling in place for all production services.

Our development practices are always being refined -- last week we eliminated timesheets. We spec in google docs, keep code and issues in Github, and review (all) code in pull requests. IRC is for engineering battlestations or deciding from where we'll order lunch. Pick your own editor, OS, browser, and tooling so long as you know how to configure its whitespace settings.

Full-stack senior rails developer needed at our fast-growing Rails consultancy. We need full-time people, as well as part-time freelancers who want to build their own projects while working with us.

Why we're different:

- We focus on entrepreneurs and products, and are picky about our clients. Our goal is to learn from everyone we work with.

- We reject that idea that a shop needs to be a mill. We work 35hrs/week. A common refrain is "why are you still here? go home!"

- We're developers ourselves. Dave and I founded this thing because we love building things.

- We believe that we win when our employees win, and codify that in great pay and serious profit sharing. When someone tries to steal you away to work on their new idea, I want you to smile and say "I can't, my gig's too sweet"
