Ask HN: Who is hiring? (December 2015)

San Francisco; Full Time; Onsite

I'm the cofounder of Figma, a startup in San Francisco building a browser-based collaborative design tool to improve the way designers and engineers work together. We're a small team of 15, and we're looking for talented designers and engineers (front end, backend, full stack, lead devops, mobile, and data science) who are interested in tackling challenges in the creative tools space.

Example challenges: annotation system on top of documents for feedback, 2D boolean operations on paths, speed up zooming in the app using a tile quadtree, UI testing framework that simulates user actions, real-time events and data pushing across the site, zero-downtime deployments, search API for filtering user files.

Our tech stack: C++, Emscripten, Node, CoffeeScript, JavaScript, WebGL, Ruby, Sinatra

If you're interested in learning more about what we're working on or want to meet up to talk about any of my other projects (http://madebyevan.com/), you can email me at wallace@figma.com.
