Ask HN: Who is hiring? (October 2013)

Help us find the right job for the right person.

We're looking for Frontend Developers to help build a site that's useful and enjoyable. Currently our list of technologies includes Javascript, jQuery, Sass, Compass, Backbone.js, Require.js and Jasmine, so if you have experience with these things and are passionate about them, then great, we'd love to talk to you. But we also know that things can change quickly, and the tools we use today could be obsolete in a year, so what we're really looking for is smart people who are excited about frontend development.

We take care of our engineers by providing great benefits and pay, as well as sending them to conferences and training courses to make sure that their skills stay sharp and that they are familiar with the most current industry practices and news. Our engineering team is also a recognized thought leader in Jessica Fletcher-based internet memes. And our "Make It Sew" attitude means you'll never be far from interesting and challenging work that keeps the company running. To learn more about what we do, take a look at our developer blog (http://dev.theladders.com/).

If you're down with the truth that I'm swinging, please send me an email (aturley@theladders.com) and let me know why. Priority will be given to emails that include ascii art of cats, ALF, or boats.

Harvard School of Public Health, contact: ohofmann@hsph.harvard.edu

Our group at Harvard is hiring; we are a group of about half a dozen programmers, statisticians and data analysts working as a bioinformatics core facility at the Harvard School of Public Health. We work on a wide range of interesting projects, most of which are directed towards identifying the causes of and curing diseases. The environment is awesome, the work is important and the group is amazing. As part of our work, we build infrastructure and tools to make future analyses of large scale biomedical omics data easier. That is where you will come in, we are looking for an experienced scientific programmer to join our group, working on scaling up existing analyses to handle the ever-expanding scale of genomics data. The work environment is very self-directed: we have a common focus and goals but nobody tells you what to do, we all care deeply about what we are working on and our group cohesion comes from that. If that sounds like a group dynamic you are interested in, and you are excited that the work you are doing might help make someone's life better, we'd love to hear from you.

About 80% of the work is done in Python; the other 20% is distributed between Clojure and R.
