Ask HN: Who Is Hiring? (September 2012)

San Francisco, CA or Tipp City / Dayton, OH

Sociable Labs has several open positions on both the engineering and the marketing sides of the company.

Our product brings social features such as commenting, passive and active sharing, and top "x" lists onto media and e-commerce sites. We have a solid system and a rapidly growing base of customers who love our product.

We have a fun team, great benefits, and an enjoyable workplace. Our approach is analytics-driven and we're working towards Continuous Integration.

I do primarily JavaScript, so I can mention a couple of the recent changes: we now use a node.js powered build system for our JS files, pre-compiled handlebars templates for client-side rendering, and we use feature detection to only load on browsers with localStorage and CORS support. (This works out to IE 8 and newer on the MS side.)

See more info at http://www.sociablelabs.com/careers/ or email nathan @ [company site] if you're curious about anything.

Sociable Labs also hosts the Tipp JS meetup, so if you're in the Dayton OH area, please stop by even if you're not interested in working with us! http://www.meetup.com/tipp-js

San Jose, Santa Cruz :: Build FPGA design tools at Altera

Altera is one of the leading designers of FPGA devices in the world. I'm an engineer in the software team, developing mostly embedded design and instrumentation tools for FPGAs.

We are looking for software developers experienced or with a strong desire to learn about Computer Architecture, FPGA design, Digital Logic, Embedded Systems, and more, while at the same time developing engineering design tools in high level languages.

To give you an idea of what we do, these are some of the projects that involved me at Altera :

  * Designed and implemented a high performance on-chip network that's used
    in thousands of routers, base stations, and switches around the world.
  * Created a hardware/software instrumentation framework in a mix of Java, C++, C, 
    and Verilog. This is the foundation for all the debuggers at Altera.
  * Modified the GCC toolchain to add support for Altera's processors, like our
    NiosII soft processor.
  * Implemented a GDB Server from scratch in Java.
  * Defined and implemented the pieces of an ARM CoreSight debug subsystem.
  * Implemented infrastructure used in a C-to-Gates compiler.
  * Spent hours hacking away with the tools and many of the available
    development boards.

If the above sound interesting to you, then Altera might be the place that you've been looking for. Send me an email to sbrugada at altera.com telling me why you think this would be a good match. You should attach your resume too.
