Ask HN: Who is hiring? (April 2014)

I'm a developer at Moveline who was hired through an HN post. Feel free to send a message to andrew.harrison+hn@moveline.com if you want to know more.

(N.B. — I may internally share the messages that I receive in order to refine our hiring process, but you won't be signed up for mailing lists or anything gross like that.)

Beats Music. San Francisco's Dogpatch District.

Beats Music is creating a streaming/downloading music solution for people who have a passion for music and who know the only thing as important as the song you’re hearing now is the song that comes next. Our product combines music selection algorithms with human curation to give the best music experience and discoverability possible. We just launched in January 2014 very successfully and have over a million users and growing. We are an offshoot of "Beats By Dre" audio equipment and as such we are very well funded by private non-VC parties, which gives us the freedom to go big in pursuit of the product vision.

We are hiring for engineering and other positions as well. We run at scale and have a complex distributed system with high performance requirements. Some of the tools we use daily include: Node.js, Python, Couchbase, Git, Objective-C (iOS), Java (Android), C# (Windows Phone), MySQL, Backbone.js, Puppet, Linux, Apache Kafka, Hadoop, Azkaban, Jenkins.

  - iOS team (Obj-C)
  - Android team
  - big data team
  - analytics team
  - operations and platform engineering team
  - Windows Phone

We value creativity as well as engineering prowess. Many of us are musicians in our spare time. Trent Reznor (of Nine Inch Nails) is our Chief Creative Officer. We like to have fun while we solve complex problems with cutting edge tools and techniques. When you write code, it sees high throughput with many concurrent users. We have some other perks too:

  - competitive salary (we pay well)

Speaking of positions to be added, I have to wonder how many startups get around the issue of information security. Most of the security-related jobs I see here are either for security-related companies (Palo Alto Labs) or for well-established "startups". Very rarely do I see a startup with a SecOps or security engineer.

How do companies get around having (what I consider to be) a necessary employee for a company of almost any size, especially when you're building your own networks and housing your own infrastructure?
