Ask HN: Who is hiring? (December 2012)

San Francisco, CA. Full time. H1B okay.

Sharing over social media is driving an ever-increasing percentage of web traffic, and becoming more central to the adoption and spread of every type of application. But app developers are flying blind -- not only are traditional web analytics very bad at tracking social traffic due to the rise of mobile clients and increasing prevalence of HTTPS, but even when they have the numbers, they don't have actionable data.

That's the problem awe.sm solves: our platform tracks sharing behavior and results, and ties them back into meaningful metrics -- whether thats page views, signups, or a dollar value in sales. Our APIs and drop-in integrations allow developers to integrate social data deeply into their products without needing to reinvent the wheel (and our wheel is really shiny).

We're an engineering-driven team building products primarily for other developers, so we're passionate about providing an amazing experience for developers. To help us get there, we're looking for a Developer Experience Lead, which you might also call a Platform Evangelist. By that we mean somebody who will own the experience a developer has using our product: somebody who understands deeply how to get the most out of awe.sm, and has the communication skills to get that information to developers. That will mean representing awe.sm at hackathons, conferences and other developer events, and being the primary point of contact for developers building on our platform on Stack Overflow and other forums. We want you to find the pain points before our customers do, and feed that information back to the engineering team, so we can adapt our product to real-world needs.

This is an unusual role, combining technical talents with public speaking and writing skills, but for the right person it's a dream job, and there's no role more critical to our growth right now.

We're 14 people right now. We have a cool office with awesome views ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/seldo/6326815086/in/photostream ) in the heart of the Mission. We have catered lunches, and full health, vision and dental coverage. We use an IRC server for team communication and are agile in the sense that we move quickly and react fast, not in the sense of having attended an overpriced training course.

The site says that I should submit my "photo resume" I've heard of this in Germany - people having photos of themselves on resumes. But can you tell me specifically why you care what I look like?

We have a dedicated, core group of users since we launched in beta. We're hiring a Product Hacker to focus on two important metrics - Engagement (time spent and interaction) and Retention (churn factor).

Imagine if you grew this number by 100x or 1000x? Software is eating the world and if all the world's problem solvers come together at a single place, it will be the most valuable place EVER built. We are looking for a Product hacker to help us push features (or kill features) to reach the goal. The Product Hacker is the bridge between the user and the product and works with everyone in the team (designers, founders, engineers)

Job Responsibilities

-- Analyzing engagement and retention metrics, feedback from users and base product decisions on them

-- Detailed product specifications that'll help designers and hackers to execute them and make it live

-- Coding some components of the product

What are we looking for?

--You have coded extensively in the past and continue to build stuff for fun

-- You understand the way hackers think and what they enjoy, and you are able to translate ideas into how it should reflect on the website

-- Explicit mention of some of the earlier products you've worked on - what changes you made and how they affected the business value

-- Experience working in user growth teams in the past

-- You are very numbers obsessed and the first thing you wake up to is an analytics dashboard

How to apply?

-- Send an e-mail to hackers [at] hackerrank.com with your profile
