Ask HN: Who is hiring? (February 2015)

http://plumlife.com, Austin Texas, iOS/Android Fulltime.

Plum is replacing light switches with Lightpads; a capacitive touch dimmer that is internet connected, clusters with other Lightpads in the home for group control (you can turn all the lights off in the house with a pinch gesture), and is usable from iOS or Android locally or remotely.

We're an innovative company, Haskell composes our cloud services and Erlang is used for the embedded software in the Lightpads (hot-code reloading, easy node clustering, etc...); we love to explore exciting new technology and alternative approaches to solving problems.

Plum is looking for:

Plum currently needs someone for our mobile app(s). We already have a large portion of the work done for our iOS app (built by an app shop) but I need someone to own this fulltime now and hopefully also own building our mobile team (which will include Android and other platforms). We're open to a range of experience and care more about how hungry you are, and how adaptable you are.

Plum is a funded company (over two million in seed money raised, working on our series A for when we go to production) and at just the right inflection point for you to come in and make a big difference in a company with a very exciting product and exciting engineering team.

Plum has been through Techstars Austin 2013, The Microsoft Ventures Accelerator, and also won DEMO god.
