Ask HN: Who is hiring? (July 2013)

Webs is the rarest of all birds: an actual consumer web company in DC. We don't do contracting, work for the government, or apply for grants. We sell a product to real people that makes them happy and helps them make money.

Webs helps small and micro businesses get online with our in-browser web site builder and Facebook engagement tools. We do the hard technical work so that our customers can easily and beautifully build a site, improve their SEO, increase their site stats, and sell their products online.

We're always looking for excellent developers, whether you're front-end, back-end, or full-stack. You'll get to work with other smart people, have input into the product, contribute to open source, and enjoy our hackathons.

Our front-end is a great new architecture with Backbone, Less, RequireJS, and all the other new hotness. Plus our main product (a WYSIWYG website builder) is interactive enough to actually need these things to provide customer value. Our back-end is a mix of Java, Groovy, Rails and Node, with Oracle and Mongo holding the data. We have a lot of fun projects coming up.

Email me at adam@webs.com and we can see if there's a good fit.

About the snowball of utter dump... that's what downvotes are for.

P.S. Of course we're using Entelo to hire our team as well! :)

EyeQuant is a SaaS company that uses neuroscience and machine learning to optimize interfaces for higher conversion rates. We're spun out of Caltech, our customers include Google and Spotify and we're backed by some fantastic investors.

We're now looking for our first full-time designer to join our team of 7 in Berlin. You'd be responsible for all interaction and visual design in our products.

Here's what we think is important about the role:

    • Code – You won't be expected to write production code, but you should know
      your medium well: what's possible with HTML/CSS/JavaScript, and what's easy 
      or hard. Most importantly, you know how to communicate effectively with your 
      developer peers.

    • User research – You should care deeply about the people you're designing for, 
      and willing to get involved in research. If you're passionate about running 
      guerilla user research for the team yourself, that's great, but not a 
      requirement.  

    • Interaction vs. visual design – All else being equal, we prefer someone who is 
      great at organising information and making complex flows feel simple over 
      someone whose core strength is crafting beautiful interfaces. We're a small 
      team though, so you will be doing a bit of both. 

You should come with an interest in quantitative evaluation of design efforts - both with our own products and A/B testing. If you think that's heresy, you won't be happy at EyeQuant. If you believe that design and science have a lot to learn from each other, you'll have a shot at shaping the very industry itself.
