Academia.edu is hiring engineers.

Academia.edu is a platform for academics to connect and share research. On Academia.edu, academics can upload their papers, tag them with research interests, and distribute them instantly to the News Feeds of everyone following those research interests. On the flip side of this, academics see in their News Feeds in real time all papers that have been uploaded to the site in their research areas.

The platform is speeding up the distribution of papers amongst researchers around the world. The goal is for papers to be distributed as quickly within research communities around the world as photos are distributed within friend groups on Facebook.

Amongst other technologies, we work with Rails, Redis, MongoDB, Beanstalkd, Varnish, Solr, PostgreSQL, Node.js and Memcached. We currently have 1.9 million unique monthly visitors, and have doubled in traffic in the last 6 months. We like to hire people who:

* love engineering and building great products

* are intellectually inquisitive and think that speeding up research is a problem worth solving

* are fun and friendly

We're very happy to handle the H1B application process for foreign applicants. More information about the team, and about how we think about software engineering and product development, is here http://academia.edu/hiring. Feel free to email me directly at richard [at] academia.edu

Heroku / Cloud Platform Support Engineer

Are you a software engineer passionate about web apps and related open source projects? Do you get a serious kick out of tracking down hard-to-pinpoint issues and solving problems for customers? If so, we’d like to talk to you about joining our support team at Heroku.

Heroku’s customers are deploying some of the coolest and most innovative web applications today. Your primary responsibility will be supporting them by jumping on trouble tickets, providing basic troubleshooting, identifying root causes, and developing resolutions. While you will be participating in forums and discussions and developing and improving our documentation, you will also be a key person developing sample application, bug fixes, and building and support’s suite of tools. In addition, we highly encourage active participation in open source projects of any language.

You should have experience as a software engineer and/or white-box tester; be passionate about helping real customers solve real problems; have a strong background in web application development using technologies such as Ruby, Rails, javascript, Clojure, memcached, and RDBMS such as PostgreSQL and MySQL; and be a well-organized and effective communicator.

Sorry Stefano, somehow your email fell through the cracks!

We were a little premature on posting the PM role. We probably won't open it up for another few months.

Cake Health is looking for our first full-time employee to help us tackle the huge problem of health care costs in the US. We're in the Bay Area (San Francisco, Mountain View, Palo Alto for the Ctrl+F'ers).

The product to date has been built on Ruby on Rails + mySQL + jQuery, so fluency with those is a plus. We're moving on to tackle some larger problems, though, so I'm far more interested in what you've done than what you've done it with.

More info at http://cakehealth.com/jobs

Podio is hiring a backend developer.

We're building our take on the future of work, which is part social collaboration and part empowering users to build their own tools (think HyperCard for the web).

You'll be working on our Python based API, which powers our front-end and other clients. We believe strongly in metrics, testing and continuous integration.

You take pride in your craft and enjoy learning new technologies. You love to see your code running smoothly on production.

Hi HN! I'm Jesse, one of the founders of Everlane.

http://www.everlane.com

We're trying to re-imagine retail online and make it easy to find products that match your taste and style. Right now we're focused on mens fashion, but our ambitions are much larger.

pg did a good job of explaining the opportunity, here: http://ycombinator.com/rfs2.html

We're building a members-only club where each month we produce and release a new collection of mens accessories and apparel. Yes, we're selling our own products, directly to consumers.

This lets us offer a tie you'd buy for $80 at Nordstrom's for half that. To produce in-style products we have a team of curators, run the largest men's fashion Tumblr, and are generally data-savvy people.

You can read my (somewhat out of date) blog, here: http://20bits.com

We're well-funded by the most stylish investors around.

We offer competitive salary, equity, and benefits. Our office is in Union Square in San Francisco, CA.

If you're a hacker, love data, and/or love style shoot me an email at jesse@everlane.com and get in touch.

Also, if you're up to the challenge, here is a little exercise for you: http://static.everlane.com/everlane_exercise.pdf
