Ask HN: Who is hiring? (February 2017)

At Two Orioles, we're building a team of video compression pioneers to shape the future of online video streaming, working with some of the biggest video streaming companies in the business.

We're looking for software engineers to enhance and further develop our VP9 video encoder for our clients. This requires experience in C/C++. Knowledge of (x86) assembly is a plus. Ideal candidates are familiar with or have experience with the VP9, H264 or HEVC bitstream formats or model software and/or have experience working on (not with) opensource video codec software (x264, ffmpeg/libavcodec, etc.).

We are looking for software engineers to help us roll out the next generation of music distribution. We're still small (7 full-time engineers and a few contractors, ~20 total), and the music recording and hi-fi industries are already beating a path to our door, so we need all-rounders to keep up. If you like the idea of hacking on our (C++) encoder/decoder, learning assembly for a new instruction set to optimise porting to a new hardware platform, then spending the next week helping us analyse, process and revitalise the back catalogs of the world's top record labels...we want to hear from you. DSP experience not required (although obviously it's nice!).

MQA has developed a music encoding and delivery system whose quality blows basically anything commercially available out of the water. (Think it's impossible to improve on CD? So did a lot of people. If you want to help out with the peer-reviewed double-blind studies that proved them wrong, here's the place to do it.) MQA is an end-to-end system, that ensures precise transmission of the analog signal from the mastering desk to the listener's ears. We've signed with household-name record labels, artists and hi-fi manufacturers, we've got music-industry luminaries working here (they're remarkably nice), and it's only getting bigger from here. We're a friendly, international team that values initiative and getting things done, and we're looking forward to meeting you. Interviews are a phone screen then on-site with the team.

iRobot is hiring software engineers like they're going out of style. Which they're not. Quite the opposite, really.

If you want to work with a bunch of friendly humans and robots, you should consider iRobot.

We've got a great culture, benefits, and products.

Most positions are for our Bedford, MA headquarters, which is just outside of Boston, MA.

We're looking for people to do embedded (aka firmware for buzzword compliance), test, and hardcore robotics as well. Those aren't the same person, mind you. We're also looking for electrical engineers and mechanical engineers.

We use mostly C and C++, with some Python along the way as well.

You do NOT need any robotics experience - I had none when I joined!
