Ask HN: Who is hiring? (December 2016)

Flexport is a platform for global trade in an industry that comprises 15% of the global GDP. We are building products that are enabling anyone to participate in trade regardless of geographic, regulatory or logistical boundaries. By dramatically simplifying the process of importing goods from overseas, we aim to empower a new generation of entrepreneurs benefitting from the wonders of international trade. To do so, we need a mix of brilliant technologists and logistics experts interested in solving challenges that result in reshaping a trillion dollar industry. To keep up with our explosive growth and international expansion, we’re looking to grow the team by ~2-3 engineers per month in our downtown SF HQ.

Check us out if you:

-Want to be part of a close-knit engineering team that releases new code every day

-Take a product-first approach to building software

-Care about the real world functionality of your programming

-Desire to build scalable programs that standardize information flow and increase operational capacity

-Have amazing coding skills and CS fundamentals Our stack: Our continuous releases are integrated with Travis and Github. On the frontend, we use React for the views, organize the data flow with Flux, and test our application with Jest. On the backend, we're a Rails shop riding on AWS and Postgres RDS.

We are a consulting company. But thats not the end of it. One of us has written Emacs mode (https://github.com/ananthakumaran/tide) which is now linked directly from official TypeScript website. Another one of us, has written tunnelling solution, and used it to create a remote debugging (debug another browser session over the internet), as POC. We have done high pace React re-writes for clients. Picked up tech, when needed (React, Angular 2, Go, Erlang, Laravel/PHP, GStreamer). Switched to Erlang for messaging system. Helped clients with cleaning up a over-engineered micro-service mess. We have written a little more here: http://www.activesphere.com/careers.html

We are quite lazy at updating our own site, but some of our hacks can be seen at: http://www.activesphere.com/hacks.html

If you solve the problem, we might have a few (probably 2 or 3) rounds of informal interview.

We're a small team (~20) and we're looking for talented engineers (https://www.figma.com/careers) who are interested in tackling hard technical problems with smart people and building a product that startups will rely on.

We're backed by prominent VC firms like DFJ, Blue Chip, T-Venture - who've also funded companies like Tesla, Twitter, Skype and Box.

Most people know us for our social sharing widget which powers sharing for over 3MM sites and apps across the web - and generates a billion social events per day ( > 1.5TB of data). But what makes ShareThis a fun and challenging place to work is how we use that data to power a suite of real-time data and media products for our partners and advertisers. If you want to know more or apply to any position, email me directly at rana@sharethis.com with Hacker News in the subject name.

The other option is just to add something that some people here do already "Multiple positions" / "Many positions".
