Ask HN: Who is hiring? (November 2013)

Software Developers, Data Scientist (Full Time, Boston based preferred)

We've been helping people lose weight since 2008, and since then Lose It! has reached more than 16 million people (maybe even a few here on HN). We're still a very small company, just 8 people, located in the Seaport District in Boston. We're product focused and believe that small teams can make a huge impact when they are focused and motivated. We're venture backed by General Catalyst and United Healthcare.

If you'd like to help us change people's lives and build the next generation of technology to help people manage their weight, we're looking for developers as well as a data scientist. Learn more at http://www.loseit.com/jobs or drop me a line directly at charles at loseit.com.

I know 'app for laundry' is a tech cliché right now, but we're definitely encountering real demand. The problem is real, and we're solving it.

The team is very strong, with an HBS grad who grew up in a dry-cleaning family heading operations, and a Stanford GSB grad with direct consumer startup experience heading customer acquisition. I'm Stanford CS/EE, have built a few teams at various startups, and am just starting to build the technology and team to support this (very viable) business. The tech stack is Heroku / Python / Django / Celery / Phonegap / JQuery / Backbone / Twilio currently, but obviously there is plenty of opportunity to influence technology decisions early on, and plenty of opportunity to learn new technologies as well. We expect the next couple of hires to own entire new efforts, and have their hands in wide-ranging parts of our entire business.

We're looking for a Web Developer or Front-end Developer to develop interfaces for our customers, tools for our personnel, and visualizations for our managements. Ideally, this person would also have an active role in the design process as well, either leading design or working with our contract designer.

We're also looking for a Director of Marketing. Rinse is a quintessential B2C business, with plenty of opportunities for online advertising, offline collateral, partnerships, and 'growth hacking.' We're building a scalable business model and the technology to support it, now help us scale the business. Please see a job description at http://bit.ly/1dLJigo - The sky's the limit!

Finally, if anyone in San Francisco is looking to make a few extra dollars part-time, Rinse is hiring part-time Associates to help us deliver clothes. We pay $25 per hour for a handful of hours per week. Perhaps it would be a way for some of you bootstrapping startups to earn a little extra cash?

Hacker News has definitely been our most successful recruiting channel. Thank you! Feel free to contact me at sam@rinse.com with questions, comments, or applications.

Location: New York, New York

Position: Full-time on-site software engineer

We are looking for great software engineers to help us match people with the perfect jobs. If you are committed to building solid software as part of a cross-functional team, we would love to hear from you. Our current stack includes JavaScript, iOS, JVM languages (Java, Scala, Clojure), MySQL, Couchbase, ElasticSeach, and RabbitMQ. While it is nice to find people who have experience in these areas, the first qualities we look for are curiosity and a willingness to learn how to do new things.

As an engineer you will help us tackle big technical problems. We have millions of users and thousands of jobs, with historical data going back nearly a decade. In order to provide our users with an experience that they are willing to pay for, we need to build smart, scalable solutions. You will be at the heart of this, designing and building products using your skills and the best available technologies.

We are committed to taking care of our engineers. We offer competitive pay, comprehensive benefits, and unlimited vacations. We also want to help our engineers grow. Inside the office you'll see this in things like our onboarding process (http://dev.theladders.com/2013/03/theladders-on-boarding-a-r...), code reviews, technical discussions, and our developer blog (http://dev.theladders.com). Outside of the office it will take the form of conferences and training programs, paid for by the company.

If you would like to learn more, please send me an email at aturley@theladders.com.
