Ask HN: Who Is Hiring? (November 2012)

Notting Hill, London, England.

Our web application is at the heart of our busy e-commerce business; every day it serves millions of product images and handles thousands of purchases - but we can and do update the live site with new code anytime we want without missing a beat. Our systems are written on the LAMP stack and we are migrating to Symfony 2 as our MVC framework. Developers choose the tools that work best for them - for instance, we have a mix of Linux, Windows, and Mac workstations in the team. We are adopting and adapting agile development techniques such as test-driven development, pair programming, and continuous integration. We hold regular retrospectives to improve our working environment and lightning talks to share cool ideas whether work-related or not. We expect developers to be generalising specialists, ready at the drop of a hat to refine an algorithm, write a tricky integration test, tune a SQL query, or discuss feature nuances with a product manager. Our team is growing fast and we'd like to hear (at careers@secretsales.com) from any of you who'd like to join us; we're hiring for all technical roles including front- and back-end devs.

Established in London in July 2007, Secretsales.com is one of the UK's leading private shopping clubs, offering limited-time online sales with current name-brand goods at deep discounts. Brands include fashion, beauty, homeware, and lifestyle categories, many familiar from the high street. The company has about 80 employees and a substantial annual turnover. The firm is growing quickly after a recent investment round.

San Francisco, CA (SOMA) - Full Time

Web / mobile - funded stealth, not your typical X-for-Y startup

* Engineers (Full-stack / Frontend or Backend) * Mobile Developers * Data Scientists (Search / NLP) * Designers

---

We're a team of engineers and designers (MIT, Cornell, ex-Microsoft/Google/etc) working on technology that helps users access their favorite online services and accomplish tasks in a more usable, efficient, and social manner. Our goal is to make an essential utility that people use everyday.

We're funded by many notable investors - several are in the top 25 (out of 100K+) people on AngelList. We haven't announced our product or funding anywhere so we can focus on building.

If you're looking to get into an earlier stage startup (more equity, ownership, ...) that solves complex problems, then come find out what we're up to.

We work mainly with JS (jquery and node.js). Mobile developers should be familiar with iOS/Android. We prefer designers have technical and UX backgrounds.

Curious? Send your portfolio (github, dribbble, resume, etc.) to [my username] at alum.mit.edu.

And a little bit more info on Quartz (I was rushing earlier and on the go - improvised working from coffee-shop while NYC transport crippled)

About Quartz

Quartz (http://qz.com), a newly launched global business news site from Atlantic Media, is seeking an experienced Front-end/Mobile Web Developer. You will work with other developers on a frontend unlike any other news site - one that places emphasis on the reading experience, seamless interaction, and values content over traditional business needs.

This is an enormous opportunity to shape the news reading experience and help redefine the traditional “news site” as “news application”.

San Francisco, CA. Full time. H1B okay. Remote is a potential too.

We're the experimental features team at the Wikimedia Foundation, the nonprofit that supports Wikipedia and other free knowledge projects.

We're looking for full stack engineers, ideally with a bent towards frontend work, that can help us fix the experience of editing Wikipedia. Wikipedia has ~450 million monthly unique visitors, but only about 80,000 monthly contributors, and that enormous disparity is what we're working to correct.

Rather than describe all aspects of what we're doing, here's a blog post describing one of the projects on our plate, and how it relates to our general approach:

The post also includes links to apply, and some examples of what we've done in the past.
