Ask HN: Who is hiring? (August 2021)

At CLASSIC.COM we track classic and collectible car values, aggregating data from hundreds of sources, and providing granular pricing insights on thousands of vehicle submarkets.

We are in the midst of porting our Next.js frontend to Phoenix + LiveView + Surface and would love help from experienced Elixir devs.

The ideal candidate should be very familiar with Next.js (and React) in general, LiveView, and Surface. Comfort with frontend B.S. (Flexbox, SCSS, etc), Python, GraphQL and dealing with tables with millions of rows is a bonus. Ability to self-start and manage your own projects a good thing too. And if you have a few project cars in the yard, that wouldn't hurt.. :)

We pay market + benefits, relaxed vacation schedule, low stress workplace. Email me at tom@classic.com to chat!

Metropolis is revolutionizing the complacent parking industry with a computer vision-based ticket-free parking solution. We are growing rapidly after recently raising a $40m Series A, and are seeking engineers across the stack to continue building out our platform. The backend is scala & play, and the frontend is typescript & react. Experience with the languages is not required, but we are ideally seeking candidates with at least a couple years of work experience.

We are ex-BitTorrent engineers who also created the off-the-grid messaging app FireChat. At Clostra, we work on censorship-resistant mobile mesh networking (NewNode) and on applied machine learning. Clostra is profitable and growing (currently 18 engineers) and has been fully-remote / work-from-home since 2013.

We are always looking for great people. In particular we are currently looking for:

Senior Software/Protocol Engineer — join our core P2P protocol team designing and developing a highly-portable SDK in C to provide robust mobile connectivity, even in the presence of firewalls and network attacks designed to disrupt, deny, or censor communication (https://www.clostra.com/senior-software-protocol-engineer) Senior Software Engineer— build data and MLOps pipelines for several emerging products (https://www.clostra.com/senior-software-engineer-backend)

I'm the founder and CEO of Wordfence. We make the most popular firewall and malware scanner for WordPress, installed on over 4 million production sites. We've experienced huge growth over the past couple of years, which Covid only accelerated.

Our team is 38 awesome people, with 25 full time US based employees and folks in Europe and Australia. Our team has always been 100% remote, which I believe is the most effective way to work for software teams, and always has been. You can find more of my thoughts on the issue here: https://www.defiant.com/employment/

For context, our company name is Defiant - hence our corporate site is at defiant.com and our product site is Wordfence.com.

We are working on a few super interesting projects right now:

  - About to launch two new pricing tiers
  - Rebuilding our internal threat intelligence platform as a very high performance decoupled app in AWS.
  - Internationalization to bring the free and paid versions of Wordfence to new markets
  - CMS and Analytics integration for our ecommerce platform
  - Plenty of passion projects too. We launched fastorslow.com as a passion project with more to come. 

Current openings:

  - Senior PHP developer ($20K signing bonus): https://www.defiant.com/employment/senior-php-developer/
  - Senior Ops and Security Engineer (AWS): https://www.defiant.com/employment/senior-security-operations-engineer/
  - QA Engineer: https://www.defiant.com/employment/qa-engineer/
  - Bookkeeper: https://www.defiant.com/employment/bookkeeper/

Antithesis is using deterministic simulation, fuzzing, and AI to improve software testing. The founders and VP Eng are FoundationDB veterans. For an idea of what we're doing, see Will's talk here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFSPwJFXVlw or read the Simulation Testing section of https://www.foundationdb.org/files/fdb-paper.pdf.

Fully funded medical, dental, and vision insurance. Unlimited vacation (with mandatory MINIMUM vacation time). Flexible hours.

We're doing things nobody has done before, so we don't need familiarity with any particular language, framework, domain, or anything like that. Don't care. What we do care about: you're smart, get things done, a joy to work with, and are comfortable dealing with open-ended/poorly-defined problems.

If that sounds like you, send us a brief (one to two paragraph) explanation of an interesting technical challenge you've faced. Feel free to send a resume too. jobs@antithesis.com

We're also hiring for professional services roles. Feel free to ask about those!
