Ask HN: Who is Hiring? (July 2011)

Looking for intermediate to advanced full-stack coders and a designer with additional skills.

We're just days from launching a restricted beta of our unique idea in the groups and events space, and are planning on launching our real-time product on the web, mobile web, and native mobile to a wide audience in a month or two. Our dev team is all remote right now, but it'd be great if you were local to the peninsula or willing to relocate at some point in the coming months.

We've built a real-time stack of our own that bridges backbone.js socket.io gunicorn+gevent (through nginx) django. As the stack matures, we may release the source. The web application is nearly all single-page architecture. We use coffeescript pretty much everywhere, including our javascript tests.

* backend: postgres, redis, python, django, gevent + gunicorn

* frontend: coffeescript, jQuery, backbone.js, socket.io, compass

I'm looking for:

1. Advanced web jacks-of-many-trades. You know a lot about several things from above and have at least tried your hand at a demo app using the rest. Backend/frontend/deployment. We'll be growing our user base very soon and will need some deployment automation skills (chef or puppet + fabric) and knowledge/experience scaling the above technologies. Note: we have a great lead architect right now, but are on the lookout for locals (or those who can move to the bay) who want senior developer ownership and can be mentors/leaders as we move towards having more of a local presence.

2. Talented web app designers (referrals would also be good). Even with the nifty tech we're building, our app will probably live/die based on making an intuitive UI with fun and easy experience. There are several unique challenges in this product that require novel widgets -- creativity is a must. Would be great if you have more than just design skills, but very high quality design is more important than ability to build it.

Hiring Rails/MySQL/Javascript/CSS/Facebook API expert

I have a few facebook apps right now and I need someone full-time to manage, maintain, update and keep improving and growing them. The main app has about a million email permissions and 500k fans. The apps were written in 2007 with Ruby on Rails 1.2.5 and are hosted with two VPS CentOS app servers and a VPS MySQL database server. The server uses HAProxy to distribute the incoming requests among mongrels. Static files are served using apache. Facebook has a new requirement that by September 1, 2011 all apps have to move to the new OAUTH 2.0 authentication system using the Graph API and work with SSL connections.
