Ask HN: Who is hiring? (April 2015)

Baltimore, Maryland, USA | We're hiring for an interactive designer position in an established daily newsroom. You almost certainly must have at least two years of LAMP stack development experience AND a journalism degree to be considered for this role. We are only likely to consider exceptions if you have at least 3 years of experience coding news-focused LAMP applications in a newsroom setting -- all others will almost certainly be discarded.

Our development projects regularly take on topics like police brutality, government corruption and corporate mismanagement, meaning that the candidate we hire will care as much about security of our apps and the integrity of our journalism as the visual niceties of the code.

That means pushing back robustly if someone wanders in from outside the newsroom with a request to "make some advertorial content look better." This is a newsroom job, and we will expect you to help enforce the distinction between editorial and advertising content.

It also might mean coaching reporters on topics like PGP or databases occasionally when they ask, or sending them along to someone who knows the answer if there's not a ready solution at hand. Don't worry -- our team has at least three other coders (or more, depending on your criteria) who will support you on a lot of this stuff. These questions can be a lot of fun, though, since they usually mean there's a great investigative story of some sort in the works.

Repeating: You almost certainly must have at least two years of LAMP stack development experience AND a journalism degree to be considered for this role. We are only likely to consider exceptions if you have at least 3 years of experience coding news-focused LAMP applications in a newsroom setting -- all others will almost certainly be discarded.

Still reading after all that? Good. Here's the description.

Clever (YC S12) - Full Stack Engineer - San Francisco

Right now the market for educational software is a mess. It’s incredibly difficult for developers to get their products into schools, and they have no information about the students who are using their software. On the schools’ side, large districts are spending tons of money on learning applications, but they have no way of knowing if students are even using the apps they’re purchasing. Teachers know there’s great software out there, but the challenge of getting 30 kids to log in correctly makes using it impossible.

At Clever, we’re working to change that. We provide schools with a free API and single sign-on solution that makes using educational apps a breeze. We’ve grown fast: after two and a half years, we’re moving data for a quarter of all K-12 students in America (15M kids), and 35,000 schools are using us to manage their education apps. Our goals are much bigger than that, though. We want to be two things: -a single place where schools can easily manage and analyze all the software they’re using, and -a single identity that students can use to see everything they’ve learned across multiple apps.

We’re a team of 50 (22 engineers) based in downtown SF. We’re looking for full-stack engineers who like:

-Go, Coffeescript and Python (or are willing to learn)

-big responsibilities (there are 700,000 students on the platform per engineer here)

-hard technical problems (managing a huge, constantly updating data pipeline)

-tech talks on everything ranging from the history of hip-hop to neuroscience to exoplanets
