Ask HN: Who is Hiring? (March 2012)

Timetric (http://timetric.com) are looking for a Javascript engineer.

We're trying to make the world a better place by making data more accessible, and we believe modern web technologies are the best way to do that.

The work we do is highly visible in digital media and around the world, and we believe strongly that there are real, hard, problems to be solved in making data visualizations that are both beautiful and - just as important - highly usable.

Right now we've got deep and burning need for a Javascript engineer to help us build out our visualization frameworks and design. We've got a lot of great code at the moment; heavy use of Backbone.js to keep the codebase manageable, and we're actively ensuring that we're not held back by legacy browser support. But we've got a lot more that we want to do, and we need your help.

* You should be able to think yourself into the user's mind and understand the difference between making complex operations seem simple, and treating the user like a moron.

* You should have a healthy respect for the issues involved in making rich and usable applications over an asynchronous, unreliable network - and also for the rewards that come from doing it right where few others can.

* You should have strong opinions on web usability and design, and be unafraid to express them.

* You need to have rock solid JS skills, and a robust understanding of modern HTML and CSS implementations.

* You should be used to working in a collaborative environment where everything is run through version control and every line of code is reviewed.

* And if you've got a github profile with a portfolio of work for us to look at, we'd be over the moon.

The Vulnerability Research Team is hiring, we want YOU.

Have you ever written a Snort rule? or wanted to?

Like messing about in the newest vulnerabilities or malware? Like writing exploits? Enjoy challenges like "Here's a file that crashes -application- , figure out why"? Want to work with us to design what is next in Snort? ClamAV? Razorback? Or any of the above topics?

We want you.

Let me talk about what I like.

The smartest people I've ever met all in one room. We get to bounce ideas off of each other, figure out strange ways of fixing a problem, and come up with a solution. That means anything from controlling EIP to how to write a rule to compare two things from two different streams using flowbits.

We pride ourselves in doing things not only better than the competition, but in the open too.

We work hard. We play hard. For instance, today, during break, we played kickball (remember that?) with a big yoga ball, and the ball got stuck in a tree. Yours truly climbed said tree and retrieved the ball. Then I came back inside and pulled apart some malware. Beware of nerf darts, RFI readers, and the 6lb sand-filled ball of doom.

Like working in an environment where it doesn't matter how you wind up at the result, as long as you get the correct results? Tired of being told what OS to use? Like debating the merits of C, perl, or ruby? Have a strong opinion between bash and zch?

If there's a problem that we don't have a solution for, we invent one. Last thing we invented resulted in patents that have our people's name on them.

Working on next years projects this year.

Being the best.

When you write protection for a vulnerability or malware here, you cover IDS/IPS, a NGFW, and two antivirus systems. You protect networks from endpoint to border and into the cloud.

If you gag when you hear the word cloud or synergy.

Vegetarian? Paleo? Meat eater? There is someone here that will sympathize with you.

Working for the fastest growing company in security Honestly there's way too many things to list.

Our currently open job listings are here. https://sourcefire.silkroad.com/epostings/index.cfm?fuseacti...

But that's not even the complete list. We're a growing company, with lots of projects under our purview, and we need people, both junior and senior to be able to fill these roles.

If you like Snort, or ClamAV, or think you can learn, and want to learn, shoot us your resume at research [at] sourcefire [dot] com.

Challenge yourself. Challenge us.

Yammer is basically a social network for the enterprise, but Yammer isn't just where you talk about work, it's increasingly where you do work.

Large corporations are really inefficient and hierarchical and Dilbert-y, and we build software that treats every employee as an empowered human being. We have a success-story video on our site from Supervalu, a large retail store chain in the US, and their CTO tells a story about how Yammer literally changed the way they do business. In the old world, store managers would report their intelligence up the managerial chain, the upper management would try to synthesize everything, and 3 months later a "report" would be issued that told everyone how to best try to do their jobs. After Yammer, store managers would just talk to each other over Yammer, learn directly what was successful and what wasn't, and as a side effect, let the upper management gain invaluable visibility into day-to-day operations. When we say Yammer "breaks down silos" and "enables horizontal communication", this is what we mean. Sure, Yammer is just like Facebook, but we're so much more than that. Corporations don't share cat pictures, they turn into efficient business machines.

Supervalu testimonial video: https://www.yammer.com/customers In fact, Supervalu isn't the only company that has changed the way they work due to Yammer. We have tons of examples at that link. Yammer is used by 85% of the Fortune 500.

Yammer is expanding. We just raised an 85MM round, reflecting a valuation that puts on right up there in the enterprise software space. We're growing quickly and we need strong capable solid engineers to help us. We have an excellent technical platform but we need to scale more. This is where you come in. We're looking for engineers of all stripes, be it Ruby/Rails, JS/Node, Java/Scala, Obj-C/iOS/Android, or other. Again, full list at https://www.yammer.com/jobs

If you're remotely interested in solving real engineering problems at scale, for a serious application, I urge you to get in touch. My email is bkudria@yammer-inc.com, and you can ask me any questions about Yammer that you'd like.

We've proven our concept and are now looking for several Senior Engineers to join our team as we change the world.

As a Senior Engineer, you will be responsible for enhancing, maintaining, and optimizing patientslikeme.com. Not only should you enjoy writing well organized and well tested code, but you should also enjoy working with a brilliant group of teammates and stakeholders to solve hard problems in both software engineering and science.
