Ask HN: Who is hiring? (January 2018)

Factual | Engineers and data lovers | Los Angeles | www.factual.com/jobs#openings

Factual is currently hiring engineers and data lovers of all levels in Los Angeles.

Factual’s location platform enriches mobile location signals with definitive global data, enabling personalized and contextually relevant mobile experiences. Built from billions of inputs, the data is constantly updated by Factual’s real-time data stack. We were named one of "50 Disruptive Companies in 2013" by MIT Technology Review. We have a terrific team that is still fairly small and an incredible CEO who was previously the co-founder of Applied Semantics (which was bought by Google and became AdSense). Factual has venture funding from Andreessen-Horowitz.

There are many challenging problems to work on at all layers of the stack: data cleaning and canonicalization, storage, deduping, serving, APIs, improving data using machine learning, etc. A great example is one of our most recent products, Geopulse Audience, which stands at the intersection of high quality places data and large scale analysis of user geo-data: http://www.factual.com/products/geopulse-audience . If you love data, Factual is the place to be. Our main criteria are that you're smart and get things done, but you'll get bonus points for experience with Clojure (http://www.factual.com/jobs/clojure), machine learning, NLP, algorithm design, or Hadoop/Spark.

Qualys Inc. (qualys.com, NASDAQ: QLYS) | Foster City CA | Full-time, ONSITE/REMOTE | $110k-$125k, RSUs, 401(k) matching, bonuses, health benefits Qualys is a provider of cloud security, compliance and related services for small and medium-sized businesses and large corporations.

We are looking for a capable, motivated engineer to help us update and maintain our backend infrastructure. The ideal candidate has good knowledge of Ceph. A demonstrable ability to learn new and complex technologies is a substitute for this requirement. Must have a good knowledge of Linux, VM infrastructure, databases, and preferably some experience with an S3-compatible object storage system. Solid programming experience in a language such as Java, C, Go, or Python is required as is experience with networking, logging, and monitoring.

For consideration for a remote position, the applicant should provide references that will verify he/she is capable of working remotely efficiently and reliably. Remote applicants must be willing to meet off-hours occasionally, as we have offices in several countries that we sometimes need to sync with.

Please send a short cover letter and a resume to jdavis@(our domain). Interview process will include a short coding exercise. No recruiters.

I always assume the range is $80k - $225k for companies that don't explicitly say. Compensation is typically dependent on experience, and if they're hiring for multiple roles, it's also role-dependent. If someone can provide more value to the company, s/he will always be able to negotiate for more even salary/equity.
