Ask HN: Who is hiring? (May 2016)

Good Questions!

- Products: We are offering modern lock hardware (which we developed ourselves) and deeply integrated, modern access management solutions. This combination is what enables us to offer much more attractive products that can be integrated into existing customer infrastructure and enables them to save a lot of the costs they currently have for managing access by automating processes that are mostly manual today. It also enables them to be much more flexible in the way access rights are managed and keys are issued, as well as achieving a higher level of security.

- Team: We started about 3 years ago and currently have a team of 15 (2 founders).

- Vision: Long term, we see ourselves as a player in the building automation/"IoT" field, as it turns out locks/doors are an excellent starting point for that.

- Competition: Apart from our products being superior to existing solutions, we are supported by some well-known people in the industry and have a partnership with one of the largest players in the market (they don't make actual lock hardware themselves, so we are not in competition to each other).

BOSTON,MA ONSITE/PT REMOTE We are the new Boston Globe Media and we are growing -- fast. With a foundation in leading-edge technology and data-driven product development, we are rapidly building a team that is as obsessed as we are with innovation and change. The decision to join this team is thus the choice to be at the start of something bigger, something scarier, than the work any of us has done before. But that is how everything great begins.

The Core Team within our Media Lab is looking for an engineer to help bring us to the next level. We find fulfillment through our code, solving tough technical challenges and creating next generation products that are at the center of all of The Globe’s media publications. If this interests you then please apply.

Here is what we’re offering:

Backend: We use Java, Jersey, Groovy, Postgres and Jenkins for all newer applications that drive our circulation and other core products. Some of our core products are written in .Net Web Forms and SQL. You’ll play a big part in migrating these to Java. Our publications are written in PHP - Wordpress. Frontend: Our circulation and payment applications are web applications written in Javascript, JQuery and CSS. We use Angular, JQuery, React and REST services. The Team: We value our customers and each other above all. The impact we create is immediate and seen across the company. We most care about coming together and doing great work to revolutionize this iconic brand

Here’s what you’ll bring to the table:

Strong technical skills: Specifically in modern Java and .Net web environments. We aren’t overly concerned with the other accompanying technologies. If you’re interested in learning we are interested in teaching them to you. A passion for your craft: Caring deeply about the quality of your code. Our culture is defined by the impact we create through our work. If this is you too, let's talk! A desire to own something big.
