Ask HN: Who is hiring? (August 2015)

Lost My Name is on a mission to make kids mindful, kind and curious. We combine the power of stories with the possibilities of technology, to create magical, personalised experiences for kids and their families.

One key hire for us is a DevOps Engineer to join our team based in East London.

Everybody nowadays calls themselves DevOps. We really mean it: dev and ops, living together in perfect harmony. While part of the infra team, you'll be sat with developers and expected to steer their work towards the most robust, host-able, cloud-shaped solution you can to fit on our growing architecture. You'll need a heap of technical experience together with strong opinions and the communication skills to put them across.

• We're a heavy AWS user and you'll need to be proficient with services like EC2, Route 53, CloudFront, IAM and VPC's. Because of this we’d like you to have considerable experience running web hosting environments with at least one hosted on AWS. You might even have built your own.

• We use a lot of Ruby plus Node.js and Go. How about you? If you’re proficient in at least one high-level programming language that would be really useful

• We currently use Chef as our configuration management system. We’d really like to speak with someone who has experience with this or at least one other configuration management system

• Do you container? We might start. Come lead the way! Troubleshooting & performance work at the level of single hosts and at the network level with CDN's and caching

• Building deployment and testing systems

• Configuring & tuning monitoring systems and all the usual systems admin plumbing. Do you know how to deal with most of DNS, SSH, SSL, DHCP and at least two Linux distributions? Packaging new applications from developers and for regular (& possibly continuous) deployment to production

• Should be better than me at formatting HN job posts

No recruiters please.

Our vision is to build the infrastructure that allows businesses to collect, organize, and understand their data. We launched on HN two years ago with analytics.js, and now tens of thousands of developers send us billions of requests a month. We’re looking for experienced engineers to join our friendly team of 50 in Potrero Hill.

You'd be a good fit if you have expertise in Node, Go, AWS, Docker/containers, Terraform, devops, infrastructure, product management, security or technical sales.

A few things we’re working on:

  * Automating the monitoring of hundreds of integrations with third party services
  * Standardizing the semantics of dozens of different types of events that 
    are sent between integrations
  * Scalable and accessible storage of billions of events from customers 
    and partners that can be queried in SQL

Distributed Systems Engineers (DevOps/Architecture and Backend Generalist) and Computer Vision Scientist

Work with us to enable the next generation of apps, robots, smart devices, and visual data analytics tools. As a member of our rapidly growing team, you will architect and own whole new services that enable our product to be smarter and faster.

At BrandVerity we think big and we don't cut corners. The internet is full of bad guys trying to trick unsuspecting users and make a quick buck. Our mission is simple: Clean up the internet. We're a small company and the only way we can deliver on this mission is if everyone we hire is talented, passionate, and committed to doing things the right way.

We do a lot of web crawling to trace the flow of web traffic, or identify places where their brand is being used incorrectly or inappropriately in specific offers, free form text, or even images. Directing a crawl against big chunks of the web and filtering the results to find the needle in the internet haystack has many challenges, and certainly puts our core work in the "Big Data" realm.

We're looking for an experienced engineer who is a strong individual contributor but also wants to share their experience with some extremely capable but more junior team members. We’re very collaborative, and our engineers are some of the best communicating people around, because we appreciate that even if you can solve a problem well, being able to communicate about it is just as important. The strong developer we’re seeking will have the foundations to easily adapt to a new stack, so we’re not looking for specific skill buzzwords. Experience with Python, AWS, and non-relational data storage would help you ramp up faster, but we’re willing to invest the time if you come with the right stuff but not the same stack.
