Ask HN: Who is hiring? (January 2024)

I've never heard of that before, it sounds pretty interesting! There must be some challenges that come with this, like what happens if a person is a poor fit for one team/area but excels in others, or what if they don't want to switch because they are in the middle of a project?

Mechanic Advisor offers a market-leading CRM ( https://steercrm.com ) suite for automotive repair shops, complete with text messaging, email automation, direct mail integration, reputation management, appointment reminders, declined/recommended services, and many other features.

We have a large, modern infrastructure but there's a lot of growth, scaling, automating, new solutions and improvements to do.

You must have extensive, senior-level experience with:

- Kubernetes (EKS preferred) - you have, as primary contributor, created and operated multiple 24/7, production, high-traffic, non-trivial k8s-based infrastructures

- AWS

- Terraform

- CI/CD (Github Actions preferred)

- a modern programming language (Go preferred)

- working fully remotely in a startup environment

You must be located in Latin America and be a confident communicator.

The successful candidate will join our small Platform Engineering Team and get to work with a diverse suite of technologies, wear many hats or other job post cliches. It's a very busy environment and you need to be comfortable with autonomous work, changing priorities, ad-hoc requests and owning the delivery.

This is a fully remote, no travel required position. We have very few meetings, we're light on process, with mostly flat hierarchy.

If you're a truly senior Platform Engineer please email your resume to senior_platform_engineer___remote_cde699be7us@kelp.greenhouse.io

Keywords: Kubernetes, AWS, Terraform, GitHub Actions, Go

Felt is the best way to make maps on the internet. It's surprisingly hard to make a map today, and people in 15+ industries rely on them to do their jobs. Climate change and the resulting natural disasters are forcing even more people to become map-makers, and Felt is here to meet that need. It's the first easy-to-use collaborative mapping software, founded by a team of technologists with a proven track-record. My co-founder and CEO, Sam, is a former YC founder who sold his previous company [1] and I'm an early Uber engineer.

We are on the lookout for a hands-on engineering manager for our application and data teams. Our application team builds what our end-users experience; a lightning fast and easy-to-use mapping tool that works in the browser. We are primarily using Elixir / Phoenix on the server side and have a spatially focused React on the frontend side. As an engineering manager, you'll be working with folks who are experts in their field [2], release more than 15+ a day [3], and aren't afraid to break new ground when necessary [4].

Our data team makes geospatial datasets a breeze to work with and we are currently building our next-generation of our data stack on AWS. The team you'll be managing is full of expert engineers from Facebook, Carto, Mapbox, and Uber. You might have used their work in mapping already; such as Tippecanoe. We also recently announced our sponsorship of QGIS [5] and have some amazing stuff planned in the next couple of quarters.

We are well-funded and just raised our $15M Series A. You can read more about it our funding here [6], and our announcement here [6]. Our terms are employee-friendly terms such as early exercise, a 10-year exercise window and even a matching 401(k).[7]

If you are an experienced manager, please reach out via hello@felt.com and mention HN.
