Ask HN: Who is hiring? (September 2019)

I am the VP of Software Development at Dividend Finance. We need Clojure/Clojurescript developers to help us build a suite of applications including a web app for solar installers, back office web app to manage originations and installation process, an API for solar installers to use to finance their projects. We are using Clojurescript (Re-frame based) for the front end, and Clojure on server side. Our mission is to maximize solar energy usage with a frictionless financing process. We have over 1000 installers signed up and have financed 30,000+ installations. I encourage you to apply if you are motivated to learn Clojure but have never worked full time with it.

Our stack includes a Clojure web app with Clojurescript, Heroku, Postgresql, Github, Box, Docusign, Salesforce. We have a small team so you will have a big impact and get the opportunity to wear a lot of hats. You will be responsible for influencing our tools and processes in addition to delivering features. We are located on California @ Sansome, close to Montgomery BART.

You would join a team of ~10 developers (2 remote) that are split in to 3 teams. Our development process is very collaborative with our product team along with the developers, so communication skills are important. Successful developers are eager to learn the business domain and have a hand in the design and implementation of features, not just programming to a specification.

Earlier this year we drove our truck with no one in the vehicle on a public highway in Florida, see video [1].

We recently opened new Software positions across all Truck systems.

Blurb:

We're working to make trucks autonomous on the highway and remote controlled by experienced remote drivers for the first and last mile. Our self driving trucks will make roads safer while giving drivers meaningful work close to their homes and families.

We currently run our trucks autonomously on the highway, with freight. We are looking for awesome engineers who are comfortable working on a scrappy, driven engineering team.

We use Python, C++, and lots of bash scripting. We are a group of PhDs, masters, bachelors, and college dropouts with a diverse set of backgrounds. We're looking for folks with experience building and shipping products and a history of diving excitedly into new fields. We can sponsor visas. All positions non-remote unless otherwise specified.

At Quill.org, we’ve created an online learning platform to help middle school students, primarily lower income ones, improve their reading and writing ability. Our pedagogy is based on years of research that shows that once students understand the logic behind constructing sentences, their ability to read and write improves dramatically. Unlike common multiple-choice-based learning tools, our tools allow students to practice writing sentences and passages in their browser, while still receiving real-time, focused feedback. This is a challenging engineering problem that we use a variety of methods to solve, from simple regex to machine learning.

Some info about Quill.org:

- We were named one of Fast Company’s Top 10 Most Innovative Education Companies in 2018: https://www.fastcompany.com/40458272/this-machine-learning-p...

- We served over 1 million students last year and are continuing to grow.

- In April 2019, we won a grant from Google’s AI for Social Good initiative which provides us with both funding and mentorship from Google’s NLP experts.

- We’ve been funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, AT&T, Black Rock, and the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative to name a few.

As a member of our engineering team, you will be directly involved in building tools for students, teachers, and administrators. We are looking for developers who can take features from a user story to production. We are a rapidly-growing team of 15 working in the Financial District of New York City. This is a full-time role on-site, and we cannot sponsor a visa at this time.
