Ask HN: Who is hiring? (April 2015)

I’m a software engineer and former consultant on the Watson Explorer connectivity team.

* Software Engineer * Quality Engineer * Quality Engineer * Senior Quality Engineer * Support Engineer * UI Developer * Design Team Manager * Technical Product Manager

We’re looking for folks versed in Java, Scala, and the Ruby on Rails stack. We do things like TDD, real actual pair programming†, kanban, agile-ish planning (IBM Design Thinking, not some convoluted buzzword bullshit), automated builds, “use the right tool for the job even if it’s not an IBM product”, and daily stand ups that, for the most part, never run past 15 minutes.

We have award-winning engineers, writers, and speakers in our office. One of IBM Design’s principals is located here, too. A few of our staff are on conference organizing committees for Steel City Ruby, DevOps Days, SATURN, etc. Almost half of our desks are standing desks in our open space office plan (where sitting is fine, too!) with a roof deck in the middle of a bustling, multicultural business district.

We like to have fun, too, having regular board game lunches and evenings, hosting meetup events, weekly communal lunch cooked by one or more of our fantastic cooks, and managers that are incredibly full-of-clue and treat us like the adults we all are.

We try to keep our interview process as bullshit-free as possible. If we think you look good on paper, we’ll reach out for a phone chat and give you the details on a pretty open-ended code test, where you’ll implement a simple library. If we like your solution, then we’ll invite you for a live culture fit and technical interview, in-person if you’re near or remote if not. This process has given us a ridiculously low turnover.

† no, really. We shoot for 50%-75% pairing, otherwise known as “pair when it makes sense”.

GiftcardZen.com - we buy and sell numbers. Funded. 20 people. We're the fastest-growing company in Arizona.

Looking for: * Developers: RoR, Heroku (see Stack below) * Community/Communications Person * Data-driven Marketer * CFO / VP Finance * iOS & Android devs

Our stack: We use Ruby on Rails backed by a Postgres database running on Heroku. Because we're constantly outgrowing our systems, we are moving to a service-oriented architecture, both by moving process to service objects within our existing app, and creating microservices which run in separate applications.

All positions are full-time, in our gorgeous new downtown office where developers have both windows/light/views and also doors that close. ;)

How to apply: hiring@

We create large-scale object storage systems based on OpenStack Swift. We help companies who need to store massive amounts of data to do so easily, safely, and cheaply in their own data centers. We’re committed to open-source; everything we put into Swift we push upstream. We also develop a valuable proprietary orchestration system that’s our core revenue driver.

Reach out to us if you have any of the following:

  * Experience writing high-performance server software (Python/C/C++/Go)
  * A deep and abiding interest in distributed (storage) systems 
  * Vision that simplifies complex user workflows  (front end/UI/UX)
