Ask HN: Who is hiring? (July 2017)

SmartThings is a consumer IoT platform company, owned by Samsung.

I work with a small team in Manhattan (out of a Samsung accelerator/incubator office) on home video camera integration, and we're looking for some sharp engineers to join the team. We work with Python, C, Go, gstreamer, web services, mobile apps, networking protocols, and video formats ... but you really don't have to know all those things, just one or two to start. What you really need is curiosity and a strong ability for self-directed learning.

Contact me to get the process started, or with any questions: pierce.lopez@smartthings.com

SmartThings' main engineering offices are in Minneapolis and Mountain View, and they're hiring there as well: https://www.smartthings.com/careers

Solutions Engineers at Facebook spend roughly half their time working with product engineering teams and writing production code. The other half of their time is spent working directly with partners to develop and execute their Facebook technology strategy.

We find that this setup is great for engineers that want to spend more time on the business side of things or have more people interaction while still being hands on with code.

This allows large advertisers to work directly with people at Facebook that have a knowledge of the ads codebase, and Solutions Engineers can implement great suggestions made by partners.
