Ask HN: Who is hiring? (August 2015)

I'm the hiring manager for the Infrastructure Services / DevOps team at Crowdstrike. I'm looking for senior (Linux) systems engineers, who among other things can architect and build large-scale application and system monitoring services we're proud deliver to internal engineering teams.

We are a fairly unique company in the endpoint security space and just closed $100M in Series C funding led by Google. We ingest and process hundreds of thousands of security events per second, using Kafka, Cassandra and Elasticsearch, Golang, Python and Scala.

We have offices in Seattle, Irvine, and DC, though remote work is a possibility for exceptional candidates. Contact me at dennis.opacki (at) crowdstrike (dot) com.

We enable large enterprises such as Volkswagen, EA Games, Technicolor and PBS deploy, monitor and scale their systems on any cloud they want to.

We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our team in our Santa Barbara office, or work remotely in the US. You'll have an opportunity to work across our technology stack, develop new features, and be involved in the full product lifecycle from requirements gathering, architecture and design, to coding and testing. We're building large-scale systems, e.g. one of the systems we're developing is an overlay network with a globally distributed routing infrastructure that collectively routes 10,000 unicast and multicast requests per second! We use a mixture of technologies such Go, DynamoDB, Redis, Cassandra and Ruby. Check out the http://eng.rightscale.com to see our Engineering Blog.

=Description=

We are a white-label SaaS that is used by solar and energy efficiency companies to collect their customer's utility bill and usage data automatically. We write scripts that collect data from utilities, and these scripts can break unexpectedly when utilities change their interfaces, so being able to update them quickly is important. You will be working in our office at the SfunCube in downtown Oakland alongside me and our other two software engineers. Our codebase is well organized, documented, and tested.

=Jobs=

* Full-Stack Engineer ($120-140k) - You will be writing application code and helping maintain/optimize/scale the stack. At least 6 years of Python and Linux sysadmin experience required.

* Python/Javascript Developer ($80-120k) - You will be writing tools, scripts, and libraries that collect/parse utility data (pdfs, html, xml, csv, etc.) from utilities. At least 1 year of Python and Javascript experience required.

=How To Apply=

Email me, Daniel Roesler, a cover letter and a PGP-encrypted pdf resume. Please include links to your github, bitbucket, or personal side project website (for reference, mine is daylightpirates.org). You must already be able to work in the U.S.

=For Solar Skeptics=

In the last few years, the solar industry reached "grid parity", which means that the unsubsidized installed cost is now cheaper than buying power from the grid. That's why this industry is the fastest growing industry in the country. This isn't some subsidy-dependent industry anymore. We work hard and we make real money (while conveniently also saving the planet).

What We Do TL;DR — Technology Consultancy

The Hackerati is a high-end, boutique consulting firm delivering Engineering as a Service to diverse clients, from Fortune 250s to startups.

Why You Should Join Us TL;DR — We're not afraid to be our wild selves.

We’re different. With mottos like be fearless and weird is good, our unique perspectives on life and technology make us great people to learn from and work/party with. We sponsor lunches and happy hours, band practice, electronics like Glass/Oculus/Myo, and we’ve presented at the UN—twice. We rock that familial vibe, and you should join us if you enjoy a blurred line between work and play.

What To Expect TL;DR — Deliver the industry's most challenging projects.

Hackerati consultants are like The Wolf from Pulp Fiction: we solve problems. Hard ones. To do so, we deploy teams of Hackerati to work onsite with clients around NYC, and also build products in-house, both for ourselves and clients. A typical project lasts between 6 and 9 months—say goodbye to getting stuck doing the same shit!
