Insikt (pronounced “in-seekt”) is a white label loan origination and investing platform that enables any brand to lend to its customers and any accredited investor to invest in consumer loan portfolios.

Insikt was born out of our realization that banks will not be the lenders of tomorrow – brands will. Traditional banks, saddled with new rules and regulation, are no longer in the business of taking risk and making loans and cannot be relied on to deliver credit access and opportunity to the masses. Instead, tomorrow’s lenders will be media companies, retailers and prominent brands that have deep relationships with their customers and want to step in to help their customers get a fair loan. But, to do it right, they need scoring, servicing, technology and capital — all of which are expensive and difficult to build. So, why build it if you don’t have to? This is the future of lending. Any brand or company can be a lender. We’ve launched “Lending as a Service” (LaaS) to power this transformation. We are bringing together the best and brightest to solve real problems in the financial industry. We are looking for diverse talent across many different domains including designers, front end and back end development, product management, analytics and data science, credit, operations, and capital markets.We want passionate, fun-loving people who can contribute positively to our company and our culture. Let us know if this sounds like you.

http://www.insikt.com

Technologies: front-end: angular, react back-end: java(finagle), node, groovy, postgres

we run on AWS and we use chef for deployment.

Contact me: jlisam@insikt.com with the subject "HN".

San Francisco, Los Angeles and Austin. No remote unfortunately

Scribd (YC '06, "Netflix for eBooks", top 100 website, 50 people) is hiring talented devs in a variety of flavors to help us build the library of the 21st century.

We've hired TEN full-time people and TONS of interns from these "Who is Hiring" threads ... we do go through all of the applications we receive in response. There was some feedback about people not hearing back at all. We take candidate experience very seriously and recently hired someone to own our recruiting process and now everyone who applies through our job board (http://grnh.se/gr84t3) will get a response.

We're looking for people who want to work with:

* iOS OR Android (we're a top 10 eBook app with more reviews than Wikipedia, with a small mobile team so there’s a lot of opportunity for impact and responsibility)

* Machine Learning / data mining / recommendations - think Netflix prize, but for books!

* Internships: junior standing or above for all areas of engineering. We hire several interns every summer and year-round and we’re currently looking for our first round of 2016 interns to start in the winter term.

We care way more about your personality, potential, and general hacking skills than what specific languages you've used so far, so if you haven't used these but want to break into mobile or web development, this could be a good opportunity for you. We've hired people from these threads with everywhere from 0 to 10 years of experience. That being said, there isn’t always an opening that’s a good fit but we do our best to find a match for talented people and there are several people who interviewed 2 or 3 times before the time was right.

To expedite your application, please apply directly to our job board where you’ll find all of our current opening and the job descriptions. We do our best to respond within 24 hours, and you’ll get an answer either way. http://grnh.se/gr84t3

We're profitable, very well funded and have a really fun office environment (go-karts + a jam room!) in the center of the startup world in San Francisco. Scribd alumni have gone on to found 4 other YCombinator companies, more than from any other startup. We think this says something about the kind of people that we like to hire, and we love hiring people with entrepreneur and startup ambitions. We are also always looking for international people interested in moving to the US and can help you secure a visa.

You can read more about our "Netflix for Books" service herehttp://wrd.cm/1dJquzz or check out our tech blog athttp://coding.scribd.com. We recently launched the first "Netflix for Comics" - really exciting stuff! More here: http://wrd.cm/1MbaBA6

More info is available at http://grnh.se/gr84t3, but as a HN user, feel free to contact us directly with any and all questions by emailing { jacquie at scribd.com }.

SmartGift | New York (NYC) | Senior Software Engineer | on-site preferred, but REMOTE for the right person (with occasional travel to NYC)

We're building the next generation of gifting and we're looking for a senior full-stack web engineer to help us.

If you like working fast, building REST APIs that will be used by millions and creating complicated e-commerce systems, we want you. You'll be given responsibility, freedom, challenges, and the chance to determine your workplace. Not to mention, we offer more equity than you could get at most places.

If you think of technical debt like a curse that will come back to haunt your future self, contact me (Matthew Davidson) at matthew at smartgift.it.

If you're looking for a little puzzle to do, write a code snippet (in any language) that converts the word "hiring" into decimal Unicode points and then concatenates their decimal representations back into a string. Use that string as an email address to apply (E.g., the word "hey" would be 104101121@smartgift.it). Be sure to attach the code snippet as well as a cover letter and resume.

No consultants, please, we are only seeking full-time partners for now.
