Ask HN: Who is hiring? (February 2015)

We're always looking for generalist, python-happy software engineers. If you know, or want to learn erlang, even better.

Smarkets is a modern betting exchange with significantly lower transaction fees than the competition. We're a well-funded company with a small, agile development team, and our platform has handled over £600 million of bets since launching in 2010. Smarkets has been featured in publications such as Wired, The Wall Street Journal and TechCrunch and was recently selected as part of the Startups 100.

We are taking on the big players in the betting industry with the lean startup playbook. We think the commission charged by such players is too high, spelling for opportunity to do better.

We're building a reliable, low-latency, highly concurrent betting exchange based on trading exchange designs. We're also building a fast, modern web interface to allow for a smoother experience. Servicing our users is top priority. Whether you want to work on the trading exchange or the frontend, you'll be solving real and challenging problems - from scaling to optimising python to handling near real-time design constraints.

The Smarkets platform is written predominantly on Python and Erlang, and relies heavily on asynchronous programming techniques. We use REST where we can. Life at Smarkets circles around version control, configuration management and automated testing. We can, and do, deploy to production several times a day.

Our software stack is built around Linux, Vagrant, Flask, Eventlet, Postgres, RabbitMQ, Git and Chef - but we are not resistant to change as needed.

The current Pusher product is a multi-tenant distributed system that allows our customers to deliver billions of messages to their connected users. We operate at massive scale, and this informs and affects everything we do.

Our engineering team is based in London. We are looking for engineers who will thrive in a challenging environment, working on interesting problems. Our team is small but growing, and we value people who can contribute not only individually, but in the context of the team. Our engineering team is also heavily involved in operations, so you need to know how to deploy, monitor and maintain a large production system. We wrote our code in Ruby (Main legacy language) and Haskell.

We are currently looking for:

* A VP of Engineering to help grow and manage our engineering team. More info in this job ad http://pusher.com/jobs/vp_of_engineering * Platform engineers that can build and improve our core platform. More info on http://pusher.com/jobs/platform_engineer

Our software stack is built around Linux, Ruby, Haskell, nodeJS, Redis, MySQL, Git, Puppet and Go.

We are working to bring scale to embedding brands into video using automated video processing technology. We combine computer vision research with a cutting edge web platform, requiring a unique mix of talents in a small team.

We are looking for a number of roles to join our central London team (just behind the OXO tower).

DevOps / Systems Administrator : Responsible for our world-wide network of GPU compute nodes, and our migration to AWS. Mix old-school network administrator using Arista / Cisco hardware with awesome clusters of CUDA NVidia-enabled nodes linked with EMC Isilon storage for high-throughput video compute. Drive the adoption of deployment best-practice in the development teams, by deploying with Docker and Ansible onto AWS.

Team Lead : Responsible for building out our micro-services web platform in Java. Lead a highly capable team of developers to deliver product into our customers' hands. We have recently transitioned from Scrum to Kanban and are enjoying very regular deployments. Looking for experience in leading, and in Java development using TDD (as you would expect).

Java Developer : Join the above mentioned team and get to work on building our next generation platform. We are currently using AWS, Elastic Search, MongoDB, Spring Boot and Docker to build out our cluster of micro services. Testing and delivery should be your mantra.

C++ Developer : Join our video processing team, and help them deliver world-class computer vision research into our distributed ad-delivery pipeline. We use Qt, ActiveMQ, CUDA, CMake and deliver product for Linux and Windows from the same codebase.

Don't hesitate to get in touch if you're interested in joining the team.

Help.com is building the next generation of customer service software, backed by $6 million in funding. We're looking for software engineers with a few years of work experience to join our small-but-growing team at our downtown Austin office and work together to get our initial web application into the hands of an eager market.

We are hiring full stack software engineers, a senior front end engineer, and a Director/VP of Engineering to join our engineering team of 6.

We are predominately in the JavaScript/Node.js ecosystem, but have developed a microservice architecture that gives us immense flexibility in our choice of languages and tools. (We've authored code in JavaScript, Java, and even Haskell!) The engineers on the team make technical decisions and have full authority and responsibility for their work. It's collaborative and challenging, and it's been very rewarding.

In addition to competitive salary, comprehensive health benefits, and equity in an early-stage startup, you will have the opportunity to make an impactful contribution to both the product and the team. You will also get to work with some multi-talented and friendly folks who come from diverse backgrounds and experiences. We're learning a lot from each other.
