Ask HN: Who is hiring? (July 2016)

Kash (YC S14) | withkash.com | Full Stack Engineer | ONSITE in San Francisco, CA / Waterloo, ON, Canada / Toronto, ON, Canada

We're on a mission to build a new payment network as an alternative to credit cards.

Why? Credit cards impose a hidden tax on everything. The profit margin of your average neighborhood store is under 2%. A typical grocery store’s operating margin is around 1.7%. On the other hand, the typical cost of processing all payments is about 2%. As Priceonomics puts it, "Credit card fees are 2% or more of nearly pure profit."

There has been many innovations built on top of the existing credit card network, but none of those fundamentally changes the equation. Kash is changing the equation.

With the former CEO of Visa leading our board, and all the momentum we're seeing, we're confident that a new network can be built. Come chat with us to learn more if you think this is a worthy cause.

We currently use: GCE/AWS, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Cassandra, Docker, Kubernetes, Angular.js, React, Objective-C for iOS, Android We're looking for engineers with a demonstrated ability to learn and past experience building both scalable and maintainable software.

For more details and to apply, please visit http://withkash.com/careers. If you’re interested in the Toronto location, please apply to the Waterloo job posting and let us know. Please mention that you saw us on HN.

Volantio (YCW09) | Full Stack Engineer | Atlanta | Full-time | ONSITE

Volantio is hiring experienced full-stack developers to help fix travel tech for airlines. We make some of the world’s biggest travel sites suck less by providing technology to airlines and other travel companies (and drag them kicking and screaming into the 21st century). Everything we do works on improving the end-to-end airfare marketing/search/purchase process for some of the worlds biggest airlines, from being honest about prices in ads, to delivering emails that only contain real fares that you actually care about. If you’ve ever gotten an anger-inducing email from an airline with prices that are a blatant lie: we fix that.

We’re a close-knit team located in the gorgeous Flatiron building in Atlanta and have a variety of challenging work on our plates. A typical day can consist of everything from optimizing the fare prediction system in the morning to putting the finishing touches on a CSS animation in the afternoon. Our work spans multiple technologies, cultures, and languages (both programming and spoken), so we value high quality communication and a continuous process of learning from each other.

We're looking for someone with a good few years of professional software development experience that wants to work with us. Our product is built on Django/Python/Postgres/Redis/TypeScript and various other technologies used as needed. You'll be a core member of our team - able to develop the role and technology in a direction that you find exciting as we grow the company.

If this sounds interesting, we would love to hear from you. Please include whatever info you believe is relevant: resume, GitHub profile, code samples, links to personal projects, etc. Apply at: jobs@volantio.com

Moat Boat is hiring two experienced programmers (San Francisco, ONSITE), one interested in leading and doing, the other more interested in doing.

Moat Boat is a tool for thinking creatively together inside virtual reality. Whatever you say, just starts happening around you. It's a little crazy. We're very early (two of us), pre-product, post-prototype, funded, and excited to be working from first principles to figure out what it means to think and create inside this new medium.

I previously made Simplenote/Simperium (YC S10), which we sold to WordPress.com, and before that I worked at Irrational Games (makers of BioShock). My co-founder Katrika led design on Labs teams for Office, Xbox, and Windows at Microsoft. It's just the two of us. This is our first public job posting. We don't have a hiring page yet. Our site will be refreshed soon (moatboat.com).

We don't have free lunch or lots of ping pong tables. We're not killing it or growing explosively or hiring Engineer #20 to fulfill specific duty X.

We do have reasonable salary, generous equity, a strategy/runway for riding out the VR hype until it goes mainstream, and many fun technical and design challenges. We're looking for another lady and/or gentleman to join the founding team as peers. A good fit could be a very experienced fullstack or frontend dev looking to dive into something more game-like, or an experienced game dev looking to build something that's not just fun, but also impactful. hello-AT our domain if you're looking for a change.

Full-stack Developer (Node, React, etc) | New York or London | Full Time | roli.com/careers & blend.io/about

ROLI is fast emerging as the foremost innovators in music creation at a time when everything about how people interact with music is changing more rapidly than ever before. We invent, design, develop and manufacture entirely new music-making devices — among them the multi-award-winning Seaboard RISE, a touch-responsive instrument acclaimed as “the future of the keyboard.” But new instruments are just the beginning. We are creating a new category called Connected Music — a network of hardware, software, platform, and developer products that will revolutionize how music is made. Connected Music — like Connected Health or the Connected Home — rethinks how physical products and digital technologies interact to fundamentally transform and democratize a universal area of human experience. With the latest round of investment (http://www.forbes.com/sites/cheriehu/2016/06/20/rolis-27-mil...) and acquisitions of JUCE, the leading C++ framework for audio applications, and Blend.io, the music collaboration network, the company is well positioned to make this vision a reality and we're looking to expand our team of polymaths who combine the creative mentality of artists and makers with the analytical rigor of scientists and engineers.
