Ask HN: Who is hiring? (October 2013)

We're looking for full-time software engineers to help change the beverage alcohol business. Our stack is Rails backed by Postgres with Solr for search.

About the company. Ever wonder how bars and restaurants buy their alcohol? SevenFifty is modernizing the wholesale beverage alcohol industry, which is massive but technologically antiquated. We're working with leading wholesalers, bars, restaurants, and wine stores across the country. We're funded, have revenues, and are on track to being profitable without additional funding.

About your role. You’ll be an early member of the engineering team and will tackle a wide range of problems. You’ll get exposure to all aspects of web application development. You'll work on hard problems like search and the processing of structured and unstructured datasets. You’ll own user-facing features from conception and design to deployment. You’ll also learn about the wine and spirits industry, which is intellectually rich, occasionally bizarre, and a ton of fun. (If interested, we’ll even help you further your formal education in wine, spirits, or beer.)

You can email me directly at steve@sevenfifty.com.

Impermium is a leader in web security, protecting against account compromise, counterfeit registrations, and malicious activity. We generate a real-time risk profile for user activity, enabling sites to take immediate, proactive action against abuse.

On the engineering side, we are primarily a Python shop, although we use the Hadoop ecosystem extensively so there is some Java and we're playing around with Scala. We are a small company of about 15 who are easy-going and super fun to be around.

We're hiring for a couple positions right now, including:

* Senior Data Mining Research Engineer - We need someone who can go from a conversation about stochastic gradient boosting distributed decision trees to a prototype and from a prototype to a fast, scalable, and robust production model.

* Senior Software Engineer - You are an experienced, knowledgable developer who has a breadth of experience and can jump in and ship code on the first day. Experience with big data is a plus.

You can view the actual postings (https://impermium.com/who-we-are/jobs/index). If either of them seem interesting, feel free to send me an email (realglitch@gmail.com).

We're looking for some awesome iOS and Objective-C engineers to help build amazing products for creatives. We build tools that turn inspiration into reality. With +1mm stylus sold and recent announced partnerships with Adobe and Evernote, you will be integral to our success and continued growth.

Senior iOS Developer - You will be helping us conceptualize, test and build our way to a great portfolio off mobile apps. You have experience creating complex custom gestures and skills in OpenGL ES and/or Core Graphics. Your strong background in application performance, tuning, and debugging, understanding of XCode allows you to gracefully flow through the day on your way to app development nirvana.

Senior Software Engineer - You will be helping us build, maintain and enhance our SDKs. You can not only explain a state machine architecture to my grandmother but convince her why it's the right choice. You are obsessive about clear, clean and readable code over complex patterns and abstractions and encouraged by hard problems and applying creative solutions. Objective-C runs through your veins and have experience working with Bluetooth LE devices and byte streams.

Our software and design team are located in the comfortable and friendly midwest Grand Rapids, MI. We are profitable, well funded and ready to conquer the world. We're looking for candidates that are semi-local or willing to relocate to the area. It's an awesome town to live in and a great team to work with.
