Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (January 2019)

Hi - We’re a VC-funded startup making a small business messaging app. Currently in stealth with hundreds of active businesses and thousands of users. Ultimately, we are driven by our mission to reduce the failure rate of those people that make our communities unique!

We’re hiring a backend developer with Node.js experience to contract with us. The project involves working on improving our back-end chat architecture, working on things like syncing messages with devices that were offline, managing notifications, and improving stability.

Start date is ASAP, though we will consider anybody who can start in the next 2 weeks with full-time availability. The contract will be for about one month, but we are open to extensions or conversion to full-time afterward. Remote ok, but we’re in SF if you happen to be there.

We’re full-stack Javascript across web, Android, iOS, and backend. We use React, React Native, and GraphQL.

An ideal developer has: -Experience comparable to a senior software engineer -Deep knowledge of Node.js -Worked on messaging, e.g. chat, pub/sub, push notifications -GraphQL knowledge

Hi there, are you looking for someone with experience in Elixir, DevOps and Backend to work on your project and help push it to production and/or improve DevOps processes? Is your stack anything like the list of technologies above?

I'm in luck then since I'm probably targeting a narrow niche here :)

A slice of me in tech: I strive for simple over sophisticated especially when just starting out, I take system and data/db architecture serious bc I believe a solid foundation is a must for building a good system, I like using work queues for better robustness and decoupling, when it comes to scaling parts of a system I'll take serverless over a microservice any day if the tasks is suited for serverless.

Most recently I spent ~2 years as tech lead on a SaaS product with Elixir/NodeJS codebase which we took from zero through YCS17 to production. I hope to put some of that experience to good use by helping others do the same.
