Ask HN: Who is hiring? (May 2021)

Hello World | Senior Software Engineer, Generalist/Backend | Non-Profit | Remote (U.S. only) | 135k

Hi, we’re Hello World! We’re a new non-profit on a mission to build a community that helps discover and develop the potential in teens. We are building a global, mobile-first platform to help notice teens and connect them with opportunities (fellowships, scholarships, etc).

Our product is live on iOS and Android and growing quickly. In the eight months since we've been live, we've already placed over 11,000 teens from around the world with opportunities, and plan to place several thousand more by the end of 2021.

Sal Khan, founder and CEO of Khan Academy and Bill Jackson, founder of GreatSchools, are both on our board. The Eric and Wendy Schmidt Strategic Innovation Fund is our first funder and Schmidt Futures is our first customer. Our CEO is an education executive with 30+ years of experience, our CPO is a former startup founder and product manager from Khan Academy, and our CTO sold his previous company to Google.

Our tech stack uses Typescript + React Native on the frontend with a light Rails backend running on App Engine. We’re still early so there’s lots of room to craft and improve our stack.

We’re looking for generalists with a backend focus who can own the backend and dive into frontend as needed. At our current stage we’re light on process, so you should enjoy working with a high-level of autonomy and decision making authority. If you’re looking to use your stellar tech skills and expertise to meaningfully impact the lives of talented teens around the world, this might be the place for you!

Garnet | New York, NY or Remote (US) | Full Time | https://garnet.app/careers

Garnet is a no-code tool that lets you build your custom community space online. Instead of having to weave together 10 different tools for interactions such as fireside chats, icebreakers, etc, Garnet supports all these interactions in one place. We allow you to compose all these different interactions and use-cases to make a home for your community that feels like it was made for you.

We're fully funded, founded by two engineers from Twilio and Airbnb, and looking to expand our team with both software engineers and product designers.

Software Engineers: looking for quick learners who are passionate about difficult architecture challenges that come from running untrusted user code to support custom apps on the platform. Frontend is a big surface area for us right now, but we also have a lot of interesting backend challenges.

Product Designers: Looking for experience building and maintaining a design system of composable components, and good evidence-based UX sensibilities. One of the trickiest parts of our platform design-wise is we have all these "apps" that can be arbitrarily composed together in community venues by users.
