Ask HN: Who is hiring? (June 2014)

(I'm posting this on behalf of a friend)

His start-up is venture funded, and has a very famous actor/presenter co-founder.

They're looking for a full-stack developer (backbone, ruby etc.) to be based in their London offices.

They're offering competitive salary + options.

The site is already live, infrastructure in place – you'll be joining an existing remote team, with the intention that you'll help set-up and move it to a London office.

Email me and I'll make the introduction.

Software Engineer

We develop audio, video, lighting, and show control systems for themed entertainment. You'll find our equipment in the world's biggest theme parks, museums, and attractions. We're looking for someone to develop and maintain MS Windows Based GUI applications for the programming, configuration, and control of our hardware products used in the themed entertainment industry.

It's amazing to see the things our creative customers do with our equipment, and it's exciting to work on next-generation tools and hardware to enable our customers to create the "next-big-thing". You'll wear a lot of hats, but your primary focus will be on our desktop software applications. If you'd like to chat about it, my contact info is in my profile.

Frontend / Backend / Full-stack

## Job Summary

We're looking for a sharp engineer to work alongside a small team of developers and designers committed to building a robust, performant and scalable web application serving over 350 colleges and universities around the country. You have an attention to detail and a professional curiosity that extends beyond the workplace. You will work in a mostly autonomous environment, so you have to be just as awesome at getting things done as you are at composing elegant solutions.

Most of our code is written in Ruby and runs on the Rails stack backed by a MySQL database, but we also incorporate other technologies such as Node.js, Memcached, ElasticSearch and Redis. We use GitHub for version control and our infrastructure is entirely hosted via cloud services. We care about keeping our libraries up-to-date and test coverage. While most of our stack is on Rails today, we're comfortable with other technologies and always strive to use the right tool for the job.

This is a full-time position at our headquarters in Dallas, TX and includes a competitive base salary, a full range of benefits, stock options, and an awesome team of creative people by your side.

## Requirements

- Passion for developing excellent software and an appreciation for elegant code

- Strong understanding of web services and REST concepts

Videology Group - http://www.videologygroup.com/

Internet advertising startup (DSP, SSP, DMP, lots of things) looking primarily for server-side Java developers (if your Java is rusty but you're good, drop us a note anyway). I was working for a start-up called LucidMedia Networks (hence the "lmn" in the e-mail address below), which got acquired by Videology. Our stack is Java on Spring on *nix (Linux on server, Mac for dev) with MySQL and some NoSQL stores on AWS. The Baltimore office also has a team on a large .NET stack as well, but Java teams are spread across both offices. We have some big projects in the works involving big data and volume as we scale globally and across mediums (video, mobile, etc.). Currently, our Reston platform alone handles 4 billion requests a day.
