San Francisco - Twitch - http://twitch.tv We're crazy about data! With so much traffic (50m MAU and growing) we gather a lot of data. We use this data to help plan new data center build outs through to A/B testing product features to increase retention. We're a small team (4) with a start-up mandate to revolutionise our stat gathering and analytics process. If you like working with terabytes of data, hadoop, aws and…

If anyone's interested in working in analytics/data, they should check these guys out. Awesome team, large datasets, fascinating problems.

Hey everyone, hope your April is off to a killer start! Like in last month's Who is hiring I wanted to share all our numbers for complete transparency. March just came to a close and Buffer stands at 1.4M total users served by a small 21 person team spread across 14 cities and 5 continents. 130,000 of our users are actively using the product each month. We generated $350,000 in March, and we have $580,000 in the bank…

This sounds like the place for me! I've been looking for months for a company with a culture like yours.

I love that you guys are completely open but would love to know what your engineering interview process is like?

I'm awful at interviewing and would love to know how you guys handle it.

London, UK — Fountain Digital Labs (http://www.fountain-digital.com) — All-round backend developer

We're a well-funded 1.5 year old startup working on the delivery of live video streams from our own cameras around the globe into an iPad app for children. We're currently rolling out our first two installations — in Dubai and in Moscow. And we just grew to ten people.

Both the client part (iOS) and the video processing backend (Python/ffmpeg) are being actively developed in-house. We're currently looking for a Python developer, full-time in London. Our office is at TechHub (207 Old Street), in the heart of the Silicon Roundabout, but we'll be moving to the new office in the same area very soon.

The usual job description blurb is at our landing page at http://www.fountain-digital.com. I want to add that it's a great opportunity for a backend developer to get involved in a very serious wide-scale project. We're not in the business of making websites or Facebook apps, our video cloud routinely loads tens of large Amazon EC2 instances — and grows automatically as you add new video streams. We're really doing interesting work here.

If you've never done Python in production, but love distributed systems, programming at scale and are a strong all-rounder — feel free to apply anyway. We love working with smart and hardworking people.

If you want to ask anything about the product, technology, or anything else, drop me a line (I'm the CTO). My email is in the profile.

No recruiters please.

Ruby/Rails. NYC or REMOTE. Full-time.

Hi! We're Fractured Atlas, a national non-profit that supports artists and the arts. We have several technical projects going on like Artful.ly and NYCPASpaces.

We're big on open source but looking to get bigger: github.com/fracturedatlas.

The non-profit is based in Manhattan but our dev team is almost entirely remote. We'd prefer you be on the East Coast (DC-Boston) but as long as you don't mind to travel then you can work from wherever. We try to rope the whole dev team together twice a year.

We need a senior Ruby/Rails guy right now and we'll be needed some more junior people over the course of this year. Most of our work is primarily in Rails but we have an iOS app, a PHP app, and we'r ere-engineering a lot of infrastructure so some of that stuff is open to discussion. I am particularly excited by Go.

Get in touch at gary.moore@fracturedatlas.org and say you heard about us on the HN news thread.

Thanks!
