Ask HN: Who is hiring? (January 2016)

Hightower Inc | New York (ONSITE) | Full Stack Engineers

We met one of our first engineers via HackerNews on this day two years ago (hi @erikwithfriends!) and since then have grown to a 20 person product team, and are still recruiting :)

Hightower is a workflow and collaboration platform for commercial real estate leasing. Hightower replaces clunky Excel and email workflows with a simple, beautiful and purpose-designed tool. In the past two years, we've grown from 3 to 65 people, raised $21 million from BVP, Thrive and RRE, and today power leasing at many city landmarks in New York, San Francisco and other cities around the world.

We're hiring full stack developers to join our development team. You'll be working in small collaborative groups with interaction designers and product managers at our SoHo office (pictures here: https://goo.gl/hno0mi). Our stack is RoR and AngularJS and ~50% of our engineering team hails from Pivotal Labs & ThoughtWorks.

Drop me a line if you're interested in learning more about how we work, and what happened when a modern technology startup met an industry still playing catch up with the Internet - niall.smart (at) gethightower.com.

CloudFlare https://www.cloudflare.com/ | San Francisco, CA; London, UK; Singapore, SG | VISA, ONSITE

CloudFlare is building a better Internet -- performance and security optimization at the edge. Our long term goal is to give every site the same performance, security, and reliability that major sites like Google and Facebook accomplish, without any specialized network hardware or complicated administration. We enhance over 2 million sites, including this one. We're hiring for a variety of roles -- started 2015 at 128, ended around 220, doubling again in 2016. This is a perfect time to join -- product market fit is established, but there's a lot of great engineering, product, sales, and support work to be done. We've publicly said we're profitable and on track for long term independent success.

You may wish to check out our blog to see the kinds of engineering work we do. (https://blog.cloudflare.com/). https://www.cloudflare.com/join-our-team has a listing of positions.

We're always hiring for operations/SRE, sales, general systems engineering (mostly in Go, nginx, and network, as well as DNS at scale), and web development.

Specific roles we're keen to hire include:

0) Great operations/SRE staff: operating our system at scale (65+ datacenters around the world, 24x7 coverage, millions of sites) requires highly competent, hard-working, and communicative engineers.

1) Billing engineer -- someone to take the lead as we build a new billing system. Also hiring a billing PM. We're using a great YC company's billing product.

2) Great front-end engineers -- building new UI/UX to expose controls and data to customers is an increasing portion of what we do. Our current front-end stack is Backbone + Marionette with Browserify and Sass. Our new projects are using React + Redux + Babel + css-modules, and generally adopting Higher Order Components. We're also starting the process of re-imagining our main WWW Front-end stack with a migration to Redux.

3) Systems Engineer -- looking for people to help serve even more traffic, build infrastructure for security and robustness, and contribute back to open source projects. We make extensive use of nginx, lua/luajit, and ssl-at-scale.

4) "Prototyping engineers" -- people who want to prototype things in go (backend) through js frontend. We're adding a lot of new products in 2016, and people who love building the first prototype and pilot versions of these products make everything faster.
