Ask HN: Who is hiring? (April 2015)

npm, Inc - Oakland, CA (remote ok, H1B ok)

www engineer, registry engineer, support tech, cli engineer

If you program in JavaScript, or use a frontend framework like Ember or Angular, you have probably used "npm install" to get new modules, or install tools to help you get your job done. We are the company behind npm, dedicated to improving the experience of JavaScript developers all over the world by reducing friction. We are hiring for all four of our teams:

- support: "npm loves you" is our unofficial motto. Taking good care of npm users who run into trouble is central to our mission.

- CLI: maintain and improve the npm command itself. With over 3MM users, we get a lot of feature requests and edge cases.

- www: we get 5MM page views a month, and a bunch of new features are in the works.

- registry: more than 50MM fresh downloads every single day, we are a big, high-traffic distributed system.

The CLI, the website, and major parts of the registry itself are all open-source.

We are not a typical startup. We believe that working sensible hours and taking care of ourselves and our loved ones is the best way to ensure long-term productivity. We care deeply about making tech a more inclusive and diverse place to work.

https://webflow.com (YC S13) - San Francisco, CA - VISA OK, REMOTE could be an option. Salaries range from $70K to $140K depending on experience and location.

At Webflow, we're building software to give superpowers to the 99.75% of the world that doesn't know how to code. We push the boundaries of what's possible in a browser-based app, and have tons of interesting (and hard!) engineering and design challenges yet to solve.

We're hiring exceptional people across the board, including front-end engineers, back-end engineers, product designers, devops, sales, and customer success.

Our hiring process is super simple and fast - Skype chat with the CEO, then set up a short-term (2-4 days) paid contract at a fair hourly rate to work on a real project that you ship to production, then we fly you out to meet the team, and make a decision right away.

If you like what we're doing at Webflow, and you can see clearly see yourself contributing in a meaningful way, please shoot me an email to vlad@webflow.com so we can get started! Instead of the usual resume/CV application rigamarole, let's just start with a Skype chat instead :)

Zoomer (YC S14) – SAN FRANCISCO OR REMOTE

Zoomer is building a new take on food delivery - a platform to handle an extraordinarily high volume of concurrent deliveries from restaurants that already deliver (i.e. pizza, wings, sandwiches, etc.). We’re bringing much needed change to local high-volume delivery restaurants that are still doing delivery the way they’ve always done it. Our restaurants and their customers love the service, and our order volume is surging. You’ll make a real impact working to build and scale Zoomer as we continue to grow to new restaurants and territories.

We have amazing investors behind us, including Y Combinator (S14), First Round Capital, SV Angel, CrunchFund, Eric Ries, Gabriel Weinberg, the founder of DuckDuckGo and others. This is your opportunity to get in on the ground-floor - we’re making key hires to build our core team. You’ll have a ton of impact – lots of freedom to evolve our platform, stack, and apps. We follow strong dev practices, put an emphasis on testing, and deploy rapidly.

Help us build cutting-edge technical solutions to:

  - tough logistics problems, quickly routing orders to optimal drivers in near-real-time.
  - on-demand prediction and forecasting models
  - scalable compute and data infrastructure
  - multiple mobile apps - for restaurants and drivers - on both iOS and Android
  - range of complex real-time frontend interfaces
 

Our stack: We have an AI backend service that handles order routing, multiple mobile applications – for our drivers and restaurants, and several Ruby on Rails applications for customer-facing/internal services. We’re using Angular.js and CoffeeScript on the frontend. Our data team uses Python.

The roles we’re hiring for:

  - Ruby on Rails and Frontend engineer (Angular.js) engineers
  - DevOps engineer
  - Artificial Intelligence engineer
  - Data engineer
