Ask HN: Who is hiring? (May 2013)

Fanium (http://www.fanium.com) - San Diego, CA

If you love Android, fantasy sports, and are alright with the idea of working 3 blocks from the beach (La Jolla business district) then Fanium is the place for you.

We are looking to bring on an INTERN (with the huge possibility of being brought aboard full-time if we just can't let you go) to help us with the development of our native Android application, this summer or ASAP.

We are offering very competitive compensation with the possibility to let you work remotely or to work locally with us here in La Jolla for the summer.

What we are looking from you:

- Talented, motivated, and able to get along well with 22-24 year old recent grads.

- Java-seasoned with prior Android experience.

- Comfortable on the command line and Git experience.

- Linux/OSX is a plus, just because that's what we all use.

- Like the idea of taking ownership over the development of our entire Android platform.

A little bit about Fanium:

- We are a team of 5 building out a mobile-centric platform to disrupt and revolutionize the way fantasy sports are played.

- We have spent the last several months building out our native iOS experience (in RubyMotion) app, which we are launching on May 7th.

- We are a product-driven, cohesive team that allows for major ownership over the project you work on.

Feel free to email me (john@fanium.com) if you have any interest. I'm open to speaking with anybody and am ready to look at any relative info (resume, Github, etc.) so we can see if you're a good fit!!

well, it's a trade-off with the money, usually. That, and ISPs/hosting companies have traditionally been good places for entry-level folk. There is a strong culture or tradition of mentorship, or at least, of hiring likely looking folk and letting them run systems above their pay grade. (and to be clear, this will be a lot of that, too; I mean, I don't expect you to know this stuff off the bat, and I expect some questions, but I also expect a certain level of ability to, you know, look it up and figure it out.)

Locally? I hear that he.net also hires new people and trains; they even have a semi-formal training program. Some of it is public, too. Check out their IPv6 certification.[1] - but from what I hear, they have a lot more of that sort of thing internally. They took my last PFY; I likely would have been able to keep her if I had extended a full-time offer sooner, as they didn't offer great money, but like I said, I've got two more months of being financially very uncomfortable.
