Ask HN: Who is hiring? (December 2012)

Khan Academy - Mountain View, CA Full-time and intern, designers and devs

We're a non-profit whose mission is to provide a world-class education to anyone, anywhere. We're scaling quickly. Our students answer over 2 million math problems per day (over 800mm total so far), all generated by our open source exercise generation framework (https://github.com/Khan/khan-exercises), and our videos (now from a variety of authors including Sal) have been viewed over 200mm times. We're tracking all that data and using it to customize each student's experience as well as building brand-new tools like our new programming environment (http://ejohn.org/blog/introducing-khan-cs/). We could use your help. Working for Khan Academy is one of the highest educational impact positions you can imagine, and we've been called by Wired one of the best places to work in Silicon Valley: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4157078. We're hiring designers and all types of devs -- mobile, frontend, backend, whatever you want to call yourself. Big plans ahead. http://www.khanacademy.org/careers

Perfect. Thanks for fixing.

Brooklyn, NY | bondsy | Ruby on Rails BACON-end Developer

----------------------------

bondsy.com is growing faster than our Founder’s beard, so we’re looking for a killer Ruby on Rails BACON-end Developer to join us.

If you f@cking love coding to a point that it almost hurts. If you love developing to make people feel good, to make them smile. If you love breaking down a problem to its core, only to build it back up again. If you’re always looking for a different way to do things.

If you hate long meetings and bureaucracy. If you want to work at a place where lunch time is sacred (No joke, at bondsy we strongly encourage our team to take a break and have a great time over lunch. Sometimes over dinner as well, we won't lie. We work hard, but we have a good time.).

If you want all that, every single piece of that, we’d love to talk to you.

---------------------------

* An experienced Rails developer with mastery of all of our back-end stack elements, including Ruby, Rails, Git, Redis, PostgreSQL, and Heroku

* Interested in taking ownership of the server-side component of our product

* A good communicator who can collaborate closely with technical and semi-technical team members to design and implement RESTful APIs and architectures. Ideally you will have experience creating systems that scale for long-term growth.

---------------------------

bondsy is a graduate of Techstars NYC Spring 2012 class. Our investors include Thrive Capital, Betaworks, Chris Dixon, Josh Stylman, Peter Hershberg, Patrick Keane, Jared Hecht and Steve Martocci.
