Ask HN: Who Is Hiring? (June 2012)

Vancouver, B.C., Canada

Twenty Year Media, we're an early stage funded startup, and we're trying to change how you find movies to watch.

We're currently looking for a full-stack generalist developer. Someone with a good work ethic and a willingness to learn new things. We follow an 80/20 rule for functional over OO programming.

The stack:

    * Python
    * Flask
    * Redis
    * Riak
    * Linux
    * uWSGI
    * Nginx
    * Javascript/HTML

With aspirations towards mobile development in the future. You don't have to know everything up front as long as you can pick it up quickly. If you're interested please send your github, bitbucket or anything else you're proud of to william@20yearmedia.com with a bit about why you might be a good fit for us.

San Francisco, fulltime systems/ops and engineering, Causes - http://www.causes.com/joinus

At Causes, use your programming powers to help nonprofits effect change on the world! Ruby on Rails + jQuery stack, 12-ish person engineering team, the usual startup perks (catering, snacks, soda, etc), gym membership reimbursement, etc. Ways we're trying to make ourselves better engineers:

- deliberate practice with our tools. If you are a vim user, we have the programmer who wrote Command-T on staff and he's a great person to learn from - every changeset gets pushed to Gerrit where it waits to get a +1 from our build suite (that runs in 3 minutes) and a +1 from a human reviewer

- over the last 4 months, we've upgraded from Rails 2.1 to 3.2.3 and are using the static asset pipeline, SASS/Compass, and HAML. We're the largest site I know of on Rails 3.2.

- everyone is encouraged to take one hour from their day to learn about something they wouldn't otherwise

- every story is scoped so that it can be completed in less than a day. We don't branch, we just work on top of master. We've found that the closer we stay to master, the less needless work we create for ourselves

Causes is a great place to better yourself and better the world. We're particularly looking for a systems/ops/network engineer to help wrangle our colo. Apply through the site or adam@causes.com if interested!

Web Age Corp is looking for developers in Shanghai, China.

We're a small company doing mostly consulting in Ruby on Rails and Python in order to fund our own products eventually. Most of our customers are new startups that want to build an MVP and test the market, so it's pretty exciting! We get to see a project from the very beginning.

Our work environment is relaxed and flexible. Working from home is ok (although we do think that meeting a few times a week in the company is helpful).

When it comes to technical decisions, you get a real say and we will really listen to you, we don't just want drones that take no initiative and are content to follow orders when they really think it's wrong.

What we're looking for:

- You like learning new technologies, when you see a new framework like Meteor or Derby, you get excited and try to play with it to form an opinion.

- You like to be given a lot of freedom and taking initiative. You don't expect someone to tell you everyday what needs to be done.

- You've got experience in Python or Ruby (but frankly if you don't and have a lot of experience in Clojure, OCaml, Lisp, Go, Dart, any other language, still contact us)

- You can show us some projects you've shipped. It can be anything: a fun weekend project, an open source project, ...

If you're interested and want to learn more, contact us at jobs@webagecorp.com

We're also interested in Interns.
