Ask HN: Who is hiring? (February 2015)

Chariot (YC W15) - Full-Time Onsite in San Francisco, CA

https://www.chariotsf.com

As part of the Chariot team, you'll help build better transit routes that are faster than municipal transportation and much more affordable than taxi or Uber. As of January 2015, Chariot offers three commuter routes in San Francisco: Chestnut Bullet, SoMa Express, and Cole Valley Cruiser. Our riders often use federally-mandated commuter transit benefits for savings of up to 40% - a feature taxis will never be able to offer.

The commute is an enormous pain point for workers around the world; it can either make or break someone's day, and we're solving it, one neighborhood at a time. The team at Chariot tirelessly works to improve the existing customer experience on our mature routes and pushes to launch new routes as fast as possible.

We're hiring a lead mobile developer, a backend engineer, and marketing roles at all levels. Stack includes Python, Angular.js, Swift (iOS), and PostgreSQL.

Thread.com (YC S12) - Software engineer who loves product (Python/Django) London, England.

https://www.thread.com/jobs

We're a startup trying to reinvent retail so men can dress well without being subject to the horrors of the high street or having to trawl through millions of items online. We do this using a combination of powerful algorithms and human stylists.

You'd be joining a small, highly technical team with a ton of startup experience (the founders have started and sold 2 companies before). You'll be one of the first technical hires and get to build and own huge parts of the product and work on the core algorithms.

One of our ancillary goals is to build one of the best engineering cultures anywhere, and we'd love you to help us do that. We launched in October and user and revenue numbers are scaling extremely quickly. We're backed by a collection of the top investors from London and Silicon Valley as well as Y Combinator. We're especially interested in people who are interested in founding their own startup one day. We view working at Thread as a founder bootcamp where you'll learn about all parts of starting and growing a startup.
