Ask HN: Who is hiring? (November 2015)

We are looking for a few experienced software engineers to join our small but growing R&D team in downtown Austin. Within engineering we are a passionate group of people who are extremely interested in building the software that helps our customers around the country thrive in their local communities. We’re a pretty small team (currently 20 people) so you’ll have plenty of say around how we develop software going forward.

We are currently in the process of modernizing our software platform to be more modular and truly data driven. Our goal is to use data to make sure that we provide the right content to the right consumer at the right time. We’re building our internal API using REST based services implemented in Java, and while our front end is currently implemented in PHP, we are migrating away from that. Some of the technologies that we’re using: Dropwizard, Flyway, AngularJS, Bootstrap, CloudFormation, Troposphere, and Ansible. All new engineers get company provided downtown parking, flexible work hours, 100% of their health insurance premiums paid for by the company, the ability to build their own work computer, and access to our kitchen with plenty of drinks and snacks. We’re looking for individuals only so please NO RECRUITERS OR AGENCIES (seriously, your emails will just go into the trash folder so let's save each other's time). In addition we’re looking for full-time employees who are already in Austin, TX or willing to relocate.

Interested in building a time series database, crafting a sleek, intuitive front-end, or evangelizing a breakthrough approach to network intelligence? This is your opportunity to get involved in a dynamic San Francisco-based startup with major growth potential. Kentik Technologies is the creator of Kentik Detect, a big data-based SaaS for network visibility, DDoS detection, and infrastructure optimization. Accessible via portal, psql client, and API, Kentik Detect is the network visibility solution that our founders — former network operators from Akamai, Netflix, YouTube, and CloudFlare — always wanted but could never find. It lets network operators see complete traffic paths, find root causes for link congestion, reduce costs by peering with other networks, and know immediately when their networks are under DDoS attack. It's already in use at companies like Yelp, Box, Neustar, and OpenDNS. And with your help we can keep making it even better.

On the backend we're looking for folks with real-world experience building distributed systems in Go/C/C++. On the front end we need experts at both client- and server-side JavaScript, with broad experience in monitoring, visualization, and building state-of-the-art Web applications. And in sales we need proven performers with a track record in highly technical markets (network-related preferred).
