Ask HN: Who is Hiring? (November 2011)

Toronto, ON, Canada - Lollipop (http://wearelollipop.com)

We build websites for ad agencies and are looking for an senior interactive frontend developer (and maybe a bit of backend if you like it). I'll take smart over senior any day though. I'm basically looking for someone that isn't afraid to pick up a new language and dig when they need to. Our clients constantly challenge us, so it's an interesting job, for sure. Not a typical HN starup but you'll learn a lot.

Amsterdam, Netherlands. Both INTERN and full-time positions.

We launched Skylines last may at Techcrunch Disrupt, our mission is to organize the world's real time photos. We currently process over two million pictures a day, are ramping up quickly, and generate a lot of data in the process. We're looking for people who can help us scale and analyze this data. Mostly backend developers on various technologies, ranging from Riak, Ruby and Map-Reduce to PHP, MySQL and Redis. We're based in the center of beautiful Amsterdam in an active startup community. Current alpha product at http://skylin.es.

Questions? Shoot me an email at martijn@skylin.es.

London, UK - Full Time - http://spider.io

At spider.io, we look to catch bad people doing very bad things.

We catch botnets, browser emulators, clickjackers, traffic launderers, bots that probe for weakness, bots that learn. At spider.io, we look to distinguish legitimate human website visitors from nefarious automated traffic.

It’s a hard engineering problem. It would be a hard problem at toy levels of traffic. We need reverse Turing tests. We need to analyse from the application layer to below the TCP layer. We need clever stateful classifiers, that classify information based on previously received information. And if this isn’t hard enough, imagine doing this across four times the number of messages each day than the number of tweets received by Twitter each day. This is where we’ll be before the year is out. And for us this is just the beginning.

If you're an engineer and would like to help us make this happen, check out our careers page: http://spider.io/careers/

Boston or Montreal - http://hopper.com/ ---------------------------------------

Hopper is hiring exceptionally smart and creative people to help us bring to life new ideas about how online travel should work. We use information extraction, machine learning, distributed computing and custom search algorithms to transform ridiculously huge volumes of data into useful information. And we're building a pretty cool user interface, too.

Our team is 12 people strong now, but we want to double that over the next year. So if you think you have something to contribute, then we definitely want to hear from you (jobs@hopper.com). Are you in the Boston area? We're opening a new office in Cambridge soon.
