Ask HN: Who is hiring? (December 2013)

AppThwack (https://appthwack.com)

WHO WE ARE

AppThwack allows developers and QA teams to quickly test their Android and iOS apps on 100s of real devices. It's 100% automated and a clear, helpful report with high-level results, low-level logs, screenshots, and performance data is built in minutes, allowing people to catch issues well before publishing to the market.

AppThwack started in March, 2012, and since that time we've raised a seed round, rapidly grown revenue from customers of all sizes (Intel, New Relic, and Unity to name a few), and recently (yesterday) moved into a new, larger space. We’re located in beautiful downtown Portland, Oregon, and we’re looking for talented and motivated people to help us build the best automation tools in the world.

JOBS

Developer Relations & Community Building - In this role you’ll be responsible for interacting with the development community, managing outreach (blog, social media, etc.), and organizing events.
