Ask HN: Who is hiring? (September 2015)

Pixlee is revolutionizing the relationship between people and brands. We help companies leverage customer photos/videos from social media to improve marketing.

We work with over 100+ customers, including top brands such as Converse, Kenneth Cole, UGG Australia, Mattel, Charlotte Russe, Marriott Hotels, and AMC Theatres, to drive higher online conversion, increase performance of owned media, and create a more authentic brand experience. A graduate of the Stanford StartX accelerator, Pixlee is an Andreessen Horowitz and XSeed Capital portfolio company. As a rapidly growing startup, we are constantly looking for talented people to join the Pixlee team and to help us revolutionize the intersection of big data and social media. At Pixlee we work hard, love to learn, and value teamwork and humility. We’ve got a big vision and we’re looking for game changers to join our team.

We look for talented, high-potential individuals who aren’t jerks. Our proposition to them is simple: Pixlee offers a unique opportunity to thrive and grow rapidly in a small-team startup environment operating at big-company scale. Our customers are some of the largest brands in the world and everything you do here affects millions of consumers.

For me, I've really felt that I've been able to really grow very rapidly, and also been given the autonomy to make many decisions you can't make at a much larger startup. Its a very tight knit group, and we like to have fun.

We believe in using the right technology for the task, and we use a mix of rails, backbone, python, scala, elasticsearch, and postgres.

No remote, but telework 1 day a week after the first 6 months.

Part Hospital/part EDU, Montefiore is looking for Mac SysAdmins in the NYC area. http://jobs.mdoes.com (the title is Desktop Analyst)

This is a job you can grow in; I was able to open-source a good amount of code, (including contributions to munki and autopkg,) spoke at conferences like PSU MacAdmins, and the boss and I both spoke at the MacTech Conference. If you're as maniacal as I am about the devops mindset and sharing what you know, this may be for you. (There's iOS-related and regular IT customer service-type tasks as well, but mostly you'd be sheilded from having to be reactive.) Major aspects of this working environment include: - Customers you'll respect, who have enough self-confidence to reciprocate - Coworkers that want to work hard and make you look good - A boss and leadership that give you room while challenging your ambition - Benefits like... working at a hospital, and a college. It's pretty great, one example: every week you earn ~10 hours off.

We're hoping you like the idea of making a difference with us. No ping pong, no rock band, and you go home at 5. Take the generous time off. Have the resources to experiment and reach your potential. For the tool-builders doing keyword searches: sure, there's a good amount of django, flask, and (py-)objective-c. But we're also getting the job done with puppet, munki, and autopkg. If you (or anybody you know) might be interested, please reach out: @sacrilicious on twitter, Allister Banks on linkedin, Allister on macadmins Slack, and abanks@montefiore.org

(No recruiters or folks looking for freelance-type contracts, please)
