Ask HN: Who is hiring? (May 2014)

Full Time REMOTE - Anywhere

Naked Apartments has set out to simplify renting, starting in NYC. We’re a small team, growing fast, and already taking a big bite out of Craigslist’s juicy NYC revenues, but we’ve set our sights on much bigger goals.

Our team is optimized for developer happiness. We’ve taken Jason Fried’s TED talk to heart and built an entirely distributed team...yes even including our CEO. Get ready to be judged on productivity, not face time and say goodbye to your painful commute.

Engineers are given ultimate control of product. No pixel perfect mock ups or painful specs handed down from product managers. Engineers get to take an idea from conception all to way to production, coupled with a team support system to get feedback and iterate until you’ve built a something you’ll be proud of.

We want engineers who care about the user experience as much as they care about clean, well tested code. So get ready to be pushed to be the best engineer you can be.

We’re always interested in finding great team members. At the moment, we’re specifically looking for:

* iOS Engineer

* Full Stack Rails Engineers

Hiring Data/Python engineers.

We're Close, a seed-funded startup (6 people) based in SoMa. We're mainly looking to expand our Python-based data team, but if you have Rails or front-end experience we're happy to chat too. We're open to folks doing consulting projects, as we have a bunch of experimental data ideas we want to investigate, but our goal is full-time.

We're building a platform where business gets done. Our goal is to build out great data intelligence about people, the people they do business with, and the industries they operate in.

Two of the things we do right now: help founders raise funding by analysing investment behaviour, and figuring out who's likely to be interested in their specific startup -- and which of those investors they already know. We also help companies get acquired by matching them with acquirers who want their skills and products.

We're opening our beta tomorrow(!) and we're moving fast -- there's a lot of potential for impact and real serious contribution. So fast we don't have a /jobs page yet. :)

Data Engineer

Looking for engineers with solid Python experience to work on one or more of: data API integrations, data modelling, machine learning and classification, NLP, API design, visualisations. We have a bunch of experimental projects we'd like to start investigating as well as some high-priority work on our core data pipeline.
