Ask HN: Who is hiring? (August 2023)

We're hiring a founding engineer to lead development of our portfolio of software products for global shippers and logistics managers. Think Atlassian but for logistics.

Our industry is a big one - with nearly $4 trillion in imports to the US alone, there is no shortage of problems to solve and customers to serve. While existing software solutions have tried to sell customers on a “one-size-fits-all” approach, Ship Angel offers a portfolio of software products that solve discrete but recurring challenges for specific supply chain stakeholders. With streamlined onboarding that instantly unlocks value for it’s customers (as opposed to cumbersome integrations with existing enterprise tools), Ship Angel’s products offer a modern alternative to legacy systems and manual processes.

Our customers are the often overlooked (and under-appreciated) logistics and supply chain teams at some of your favorite brands, who help to ensure the timely and efficient delivery of goods from manufacturers overseas to end customer. These agile teams react to changing market conditions by collaborating closely with their supply chain counterparts like carriers or freight forwarders. Our first product, a rate management system, aggregates information from these vendors and enriches them with proprietary datapoints to enable optimal rate selection.

Ship Angel’s founding team consists of serial startup founders with a track record of successful exits and deep domain expertise within logistics. We’re well funded from our previous exits and a select group of pre-seed investors. As one of our first engineering hires, you’ll be part of the initial team that helps to shape the course of the company’s trajectory. This role will require close collaboration with cross-functional teams and external parties with meaningful growth opportunities.

Do you care about contributing to open-source, and appreciate a good challenge? We do too! :)

Open-source

We are a team of veteran open-source developers, working on educational and community-based projects in an open-first environment – and we are looking for new members. By joining us, you will work full-time on open-source, pushing your changes to free software projects upstream through pull requests, contributing features, documentation, or help on public forums.

We care deeply about contributing our work upstream. You will see the results of your work reused and recognized across the educational community, increasing access to quality education for everyone, everywhere.

Remote-first

Unlike companies who reluctantly started to accept remote workers recently, we have embraced it from day 1. For the past 7 years, we have based and refined our way of working around remote-friendly workflows, from the ground up. No day-long video meetings, mandatory work hours, or risk of being forced back into an office one day -- as long as you have a good internet connection, it’s none of our business when or where you work from. :)

We are all working remotely, from all continents (except Antarctica, at least so far - applicants welcome!). We use remote-friendly and timezone-agnostic workflows based on asynchronous principles and good documentation practices.

Online education

We are one of the main contributors to the Open edX project, the main open-source MOOC platform created by MIT, Harvard and many other top universities. It powers sites like edX.org, the MIT Open Learning Library, and the national online learning platform for France. We provide development and hosting for institutions like Harvard Medical School, Harvard LabXchange, Cloudera, Autodesk, and several governments. We are not affiliated with edX.org, but we contribute and work with them on various projects.

Our handbook, like much of our work, is publicly viewable and you can find it at https://handbook.opencraft.com/.
