Ask HN: Who is hiring? (July 2015)

Pathgather is Techstars NYC company building an enterprise learning platform that - unlike traditional learning systems forced on employees - is one you'll actually enjoy using. We’re solving a big problem felt by almost all growing companies: how to continuously train and educate your workforce with modern/relevant content.

One way we're doing that is through the flexibility in our platform, which supports a variety of integrations. Because of that, we deal with lots of APIs.

We're looking for an API expert to join our small but growing team. You'll own the API we provide to companies like Qualcomm, Walmart, and Twitter, and you'll help expand our suite of 3rd party integrations. You'll have significant impact on every customer deployment and the opportunity to interface with the talented engineers consuming our APIs.

About You

- You're an API expert. You of course prefer JSON REST APIs but can deal with an XML SOAP API if need be.

- You understand and have opinions on common API authentication methods like OAuth, JWT, etc

- You understand SQL (ideally Postgres). Maybe you've worked with ORMs like ActiveRecord and/or Sequel.

- You have experience with Ruby/Rails (or a similar language)

- Perhaps you've dealt with Redis and Elasticsearch too, but if you haven't, no worries. We'll give you the chance to in any case.

Responsibilites

- Lead and develop integrations that enhance our learning content offerings to our customers

- Enhance the API we provide to our customers (docs.pathgather.com). Some of the functionality you might add include analytics reporting and bulk creates/updates.

- Help define the strategy for the launch of a Pathgather partner program/platform. This project would allow partnered content vendors to integrate with Pathgather in a variety of ways via defined standards and API communications.

If you're interested, please contact me at jamie@pathgather.com. We have a great work environment in our Union Square office and would love for you to be a part! You can also see more about us and what we offer at https://angel.co/pathgather/jobs
