Ask HN: Who is hiring? (July 2020)

We're a startup (33 people so far) that is growing quickly! We're writing software that uses machine learning to automate the creative process of producing video content. We've found that what we're building is very attractive to marketing and communications teams from lots of different organizations and we've got tons of interesting search, NLP, artificial intelligence, video rendering, and web scaling technical challenges. Right now, we're hiring:

Frontend Engineer: Contribute to our large, beautiful single-page app, using React, Redux, ImmutableJS, and more! https://lumen5.com/careers/opportunity/?gh_jid=4040744003

Javascript Engineer: We're building a powerful javascript library that handles all of our video rendering (in webgl), and we need the testing, toolkit, architecture and data structures expertise to continue to make it awesome. Posting here: https://lumen5.com/careers/opportunity/?gh_jid=4040741003

Controller: A key contributor to the operations team - budgeting, forecasting, pricing. Both strategic and hands-on work. Posting: https://lumen5.com/careers/opportunity/?gh_jid=4099760003

This is a fully remote position, full-time or part-time, with flexible working hours and work arrangements.

We’re looking for an experienced developer who enjoys working with server side technologies and possesses a good mixture of DevOps and application development chops, has been around the block a couple of times, and would like to build forward-thinking and innovative solutions with experienced teammates in a progressive-oriented environment.

About the role: You should have plenty of experience in building performant, easy to use, well monitored and well tested APIs, creating and maintaining robust web applications, designing efficient data flows, communicating clearly, sharing knowledge and questioning existing solutions.

If you are a positive-oriented hacker who does not fit the traditional company structure and resonates with the mindset of programming languages and paradigms being just a tool and not a heavy personal attachment and identification, then this role might be the right fit for you.

About the company: We’re a self funded SaaS company that primarily builds forward-thinking tools for internet professionals. We are a bootstrapped company that believes the future belongs to smaller companies that don’t subscribe to the 9-to-5 corporate way of doing things. We believe that the Silicon Valley era is over, and we are building a business that allows us to enjoy the freedom of working remotely where each of us has the autonomy and flexibility to have a high impact on the world with our work.
