Ask HN: Who is Hiring? (January 2012)

A little late to the party. I blame the hangover I had yesterday :)

Social Tables (http://www.socialtables.com), a funded, DC-based startup is looking for a Senior Developer/VP of Engineering (employee #1, wahoo!).

If you immediately thought that this startup makes databases social, you're the kind of person we're looking for and you'll fit right in. Please read on :)

Social Tables is the seating plan platform for events. You know how weddings, galas and other large events have assigned seating? Well, the biggest PITA in planning these events is figuring out how to seat guests (it can take weeks). Our cloud-based software solves that problem.

Since launching in May 2011, we've seated 43k guests at 450 different events. We're expanding rapidly through big strategic partnerships and aggressive customer acquisition.

In this role, your responsibilities will be to lead product development of our next version. We prefer Rails but if PHP is your weapon of choice, that's cool. You should also be proficient in JavaScript since things will be a little heavier on the client-side going forward.

You must be a motivated self-starter who is energized by teamwork and loves to learn new things.

Traction aside, right now is the perfect time to join Social Tables and we would love to tell you why. In addition to competitive compensation, you will get serious equity (we agree with Naval in his recent post on this issue - http://startupboy.com/2011/12/13/why-you-cant-hire/).

If this sounds interesting to you, email me: dan [at] socialtables dot [com!]

Thanks for reading and applying!

SnapVolumes is hiring two Windows kernel developers. We are located in downtown Los Altos, CA (close to VMware headquarters and Palo Alto).

We are a funded early-stage startup (We are happy to talk with anyone with Windows kernel experience (ideally experience writing mini-filter drivers but it isn't required). We are willing to hire H1Bs or remote developers, but we'd prefer people to relocate to the San Francisco Bay Area (we can cover relocation expenses).

Email: jobs@snapvolumes.com

I think you can increase your ROI if you spelled out San Francisco.

We've been known to hire remotely for the right candidate. Might as well apply and see!

San Francisco, CA (SF/Mission)

RG Labs is hiring: http://www.rglabsinc.com/#jobs

It is our belief that the most important decisions we make are decisions about people (e.g., who to start a company with, who to hire, who to date/marry...) We also feel like the Web is in its infancy in terms of helping us to make better decisions based on data and that this space will explode in coming years.

We're planning to help with the detonation.

We have a long backlog of customers waiting to use our product when it launches (in Q1) and a big market in front of us. We're building an engineering-centric organization and working out of a cool work/live space in the Mission. Our current stack includes Ruby, Rails, MySQL, Resque, and elasticsearch, etc. We're also planning to contribute to open source as much as we can (e.g., https://github.com/rglabs/teleport).

We're funded but also really early so it's a unique opportunity to help us set the tone and to be a major contributor (not to mention, get a sizable option grant).

To hear more drop me a line directly at jon@rglabsinc.com or contact via our website. We'd love to share more with you.
