Ask HN: Who is hiring? (February 2024)

What sucked the last time you rented a house or flat? Come and fix it.

OpenRent is a force for good in an industry tarnished by rip-off agencies. Enabled by an unrelenting focus on technology, we now let more properties than any agency in the UK. In the last 12m we let over £50 billion worth of property, to over 6 million registered users, without ever charging any admin fees.

You'll be working on solving every aspect of the rental journey, from machine learning models to predict the right price of a property, to building the future of property management, all to help tenants find their dream home, and landlords their ideal tenant.

We're VC backed, profitable, and have plenty of ambition to maintain our fast growth in this absolutely massive market.

Roles currently available:

- Senior Web Designer | Equity | 75k-100k+ (based on experience) + Quarterly Bonus

- Senior Full Stack Engineer (C#) | Equity | £75k-£120k+ (based on experience) + Quarterly Bonus

Narrative has been building a data collaboration platform designed for simplicity and ease of use since being founded in 2016.

Our primary strength is functioning as a data marketplace where we differentiate ourselves by automatically standardizing data across suppliers, making data available via powerful query interfaces (both intuitive UIs and an SQL dialect) instead of via one-size-fits-all pre-packaged datasets, and giving data providers the ability to define row-level access and pricing policies. The same building blocks that power the marketplace enable other data collaboration use cases, like clean room data analysis and the automatic segmentation and delivery of data to other platforms. We're also building towards a future where users can leverage our collaboration tools without needing to push their data to us, instead our query engine will be embeddable where their data is already at rest.

We are a small, remote-first team looking for great developers who want to jump in and take major systems and user-facing features from design to launch. While the company's headquarters are in NYC, the development team currently includes engineers working from the US (California and New York), Canada (Alberta, British Columbia, and Québec), and Poland.

In brief, the technologies we use are:

- Scala, Spark, Apache Iceberg, and Apache Calcite in the backend. We love functional programming and make use of libraries like Cats, Cats-Effect, and FS2, but we keep a pragmatic stance on purity given our exposure to the Spark ecosystem.

- Our services are deployed on AWS and provisioned using Terraform. We leverage the usual suspects: Fargate, EMR, RDS, Lambda, etc. and we're starting to lean into Kubernetes. Being a small team, we think twice before rolling out custom infrastructure that we'll need to monitor and maintain.

- On the frontend, we use Typescript, VueJS, PrimeVue, Nuxt, and Vite.

Orb is building billing infrastructure for modern companies. As companies grow and evolve, the ability to change their pricing and packaging is often limited by the sheer complexity of the engineering effort involved to make those changes. I experienced these challenges first hand and my desire to solve this problem is what led me to start Orb. Orb powers billing for the fastest growing developer companies, including Vercel, Replit, Materialize, Neon, and many more.

Join Orb to tackle technical challenges ranging from massive infra challenges (individual customers send us XM+ events/sec) to tricky data modeling problems in a new world of billing.

At Orb, we're looking to fill a handful of engineering roles including:
