Ask HN: Who is hiring? (May 2015)

General Assembly | http://ga.co | Boston, on-site only | Contract or Full-time | Web Development Instructor (JS, Node, Angular)

We teach people to level up in their tech skills or make a career change to something they love in tech, business, or design.

We're looking for people who love teaching and specialize in Javascript to be instructors for our 12-week web development bootcamp in late June. The program runs for 12 weeks with 2 weeks of training and planning beforehand, so the position is 6/8 - 9/11.

Major topics: Javascript, Node, Express, Hapi, Firebase, HTML/CSS, AJAX, jQuery, Ruby, Rails as an API, Postgres, Angular. Many curriculum materials already exist, but you should be prepared to create your own too. Some examples of student final projects: http://gallery.ga.co/

Many of our instructors have worked as developers for a while and want to try something different, particularly mentoring students (who are an incredibly dedicated bunch). Teaching is challenging, rewarding, and deeply meaningful to all of us here, and students consistently say that taking our bootcamp course has been one of the most transformative experiences of their lives.

Details:

- You have at least 2 years of experience as a web developer

- You've worked with Javascript/Node/Angular and perhaps Rails

- You have a knack for explaining how code works to someone who's just starting out

- You enjoy teaching and being a mentor to others

- You're kind, respectful, and enthusiastic

- You can't wait to share your knowledge and skills with our students!

Interested? Email anna.tsykalova@ga.co.

We're a young, funded startup with a lot to prove in the domestic cleaning market. You would be one of the first technical employees. Your job would be to do anything it takes to improve and extend our customer site, our operations systems, and our phone apps.

As a result, we're looking for candidates that are excited about joining a very small team where they can make a huge difference.

And there's a lot of skilled UI work to be done across our member's site and operational web app, to help our staff manage everything that's happening.

The role

We need an experienced, motivated, full-stack developer. Experience in any element of our stack is a big plus, but a willingness and ability to learn fast is even better.

You would be working across:

- Our marketing website

- Our members application, where customers can set their cleaning schedule

- Our routing/scheduling web application for our operations staff

- Our phone application for cleaners

These are built in: - Python / Django

- Bootstrap, Knockout, Backbone

We are a small, tight-knit team, so your personal qualities are just as important as your software experience. We want to work with other flexible problem-solvers who aren't afraid of a challenge.

Apply directly to gareth.lloyd@housekeep.com. I'm not fussy about what you send, but if you highlight some repositories where I can read code that you're proud of, I'll take your application seriously.

Compensation: £competitive + options
