Ask HN: Who is hiring? (August 2015)

Nice to see Swedish companies represented on ”Who’s hiring?”. Good luck with the recruiting!

Brave UX - Onsite | Washington, DC | Front-end Developer | http://braveux.workable.com/jobs/79457

We are looking for an experienced front-end developer whose code is so clean it smells like fresh lemons. If you like pushing the boundaries of the web and won't settle for anything less than 60fps, this is the place for you.

We are a crew of dreamer-doer hybrids who care deeply about user experience and making applications that are both beautiful and functional. We truly enjoy being together, doing great work, and eating lots of tacos.

SparX - San Mateo, CA - Full Time

Looking for:

   * Software Engineers
   * Dev Ops
   * Data Scientists

SparX is a small engineering team focused on applying online machine learning and predictive modeling to eCommerce (impacting a 24 billion dollar business). Our stack is 100% Clojure, service oriented, targeting 50 million users with 1ms SLAs. We apply engineering and data science to tough problems such as dynamic pricing, shipping estimations, personalized emails, and multi-variate testing. We are always looking for talent in data science, engineering and devops. Bonus points if you can bridge 2 of these together. We love people with strong fundamentals who can dive deep.

We're a small team, so you will have an opportunity for a high-impact role, targeting over 50 million users. But our best perk is our colleagues: a diverse and extremely talented team of seasoned engineers and data scientists.

We are located in San Mateo, walking distance from the Cal-Train station. Come visit or apply online at http://staples-sparx.com.

AppFolio, Inc | Application Security Engineer, Security Operations Engineer | Santa Barbara, CA (On-site, full time) | http://appfolioinc.com

AppFolio is seeking to hire two security roles: AppSec Engineer and SecOps Engineer, both located in Santa Barbara, CA.

If working with a team of smart, dedicated developers and ops engineers at a growing and successful organization sounds appealing, please consider applying!

Application Security Engineer will work primarily with AppFolio's several web applications, conducting internal security assessments and helping AppFolio's agile development teams implement security features and fixes.

Security Operations Engineer will work primarily with AppFolio's infrastructure, conducting internal security reviews, monitoring external threats, and helping AppFolio's Web Operations team maintain state-of-the-art infrastructure.

I'm sure AppFolio is hiring for other roles, too -- but I'm not involved with those. You can find more information (including how to apply) about these jobs and others at http://www.appfolioinc.com/jobs -- or by reaching out to me directly.

RealScout - Rails Engineers/Front-end Engineers/Data Engineers/Data Scientists - Mountain View, CA - Full-time

We pair program [1], hold hack days every other Friday [2], and have recently improved test coverage from 45% to 80%. The focus seems to be paying off: In the first half of 2015, our agents have closed $1.1 billion in sales and this number is growing quickly.

(Check out our latest hack days project we released last week: an Atmel AVR 8bit microchip emulator [3] built with Rust, React.js, Redux.js and Docker.)

We're on the way to Series B being previously backed by Joe Lonsdale (Palantir founder), Ken DeLeon (2012's #1 Realtor) and several others ($7m to date)
