Ask HN: Who is hiring? (December 2013)

SUPRMASV (suprmasv.com) is looking for a talented developer to join us as we build a platform where the world’s best hackers — whether they be game modders, bitcoin miners or drone geeks — showcase their work and get paid for offering support and access to their expertise. Our ultimate objective is free agency and hands-on vocational education for everyone.

We’re a small, fun-loving team of old-school hackers and startup veterans who iterate quickly and constantly, and push ourselves and each other to build the best product possible. We’re already live and focused on generating real revenue. We’ll help you further develop your skills and give you a stake in the company.

Here’s what we believe in:

* Using a scientific approach to guide product development (e.g., metrics, A/B testing) * Encouraging and rewarding results, not number of hours * Building a product where we can be proud of both the purpose and the technology * Putting users and their needs first * Investing in good development tools

We’re not picky about particular technologies, but we’d like you to have the ability to quickly learn whatever languages and frameworks we throw at you (that said, python skills are a plus). Ideally you live in either San Francisco, where our dev team is based, or Los Angeles, where the rest of the crew works from a pretty sweet studio overlooking Venice Beach. And if you have a solid track record and great references, we’re cool with having you work remotely.

Apply by sending links to your latest projects and a short email or cover letter about why you want to join SUPRMASV to hiring@supermassive.io. No recruiters or dev shops, please. Bonus points for posting one of your projects on our platform!

VFiles is the hippest and foulest-mouth fashion startup around. Our shop[1] is the most relevant fashion destination in New York today, our YouTube shows[2] are insanely popular, and we want you to help us bring our social media site to life.

We are looking to add two more engineers to join our team, doubling our current two (in a company of about twenty). Every engineer here will be full-stack, though we're happy to have someone who leans to one side or the other and is eager to learn. Technologies we use include Ruby, Haskell, Angular, Coffeescript, Redis, and more. As part of our team, you will have both a strong voice in the vision and direction of our product and a good deal of autonomy and control in the specific projects you work on.

As for fringe benefits, we throw the most talked about parties in town (hosted by A$AP Mob and crashed by Kendrick Lamar), we have company trips to Montauk, we organize funky Soul Cycle rides with famous designers and models, and we're invited to pretty much everything happening, culture-wise, in New York. You'll work with a diverse group of people with a number of skillsets, all of whom - editorial, video, design - are at the very top of their game.

We can only consider candidates eligible to work full-time in the US who live or are planning to move to New York City at this time.

You can write the Chief Engineer directly at tim (a) vfiles (dot) com to express your interest.

"We shape our tools, and thereafter our tools shape us"

The goal is to democratize software. Quite a shame that 30 years into personal computing, an average person's interaction still caps at word-processing. We'd like to change that.

A beautiful loft/artist office in the Mission. Best investors out there. Right now just a few of us.

You will be part of the founding team. You need to be able to make things and think conceptually.
