ShareThis is a sharing intelligence network that spans across platform walled gardens (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc). We transform real-time data insights from shared engagements into actionable moments that deliver results for marketers and publishers.

We're looking for senior level engineers with a background in Java/Scala and Spark. We are currently working with enterprise customers to deliver targeted feeds, custom audiences, and deep insights.

We're also looking for an expert on Wordpress to come in and take lead on the development of new Wordpress plugins for our publishers. We've recently developed a Reaction Button for the publishers (https://www.sharethis.com/platform/reaction-buttons/)

If you're interested in joining our efforts and exploring all the use cases of activating social sharing data, email me directly at rana@sharethis.com with Hacker News in the subject name.

Root is an auto insurance company, like GEICO and Progressive. We use data science to identify and insure good drivers, reducing insurance premiums for good drivers significantly as a result.

We're a startup — we're 30 people who have been working on this for 2 years. We've built an iOS and Android app that gathers data on how well people drive. We use that to set insurance prices. To build the best possible product and user experience, we went through the arduous process of starting an insurance carrier from scratch.

We've raised $7M, and we're looking to bring on a couple more talented engineers. Tech stack involves Ruby / Rails and Javascript / React Native. Email us at jobs@joinroot.com

Adspert statistically optimises advertising accounts (e.g. AdWords).

We're looking for:

- a python developer (mostly backend)

- a statistics/optimisation software developer

TrueAccord is trying to update (or insert your favorite buzz word here) an industry that's significantly lacking in technology or innovation: debt collection. We use modern communication methods (like email!), machine learning and a less abrasive touch than traditional collection agencies.

The company is growing rapidly and our technology infrastructure needs to grow with it. We're looking for an SRE to help scale our AWS-based infrastructure, ensure relability, update our tooling and make sure we can support the growing needs of the business. There are many projects in the future to help keep us ahead (if that's possible :-) ) of the growth curves, more so than our DevOps group of one can currently handle.

We're a (human-assisted) AI sourcing platform that delivers great results (customer quote: "I'd have a panic attack if you guys stopped existing"). We make it dramatically faster and easier for great companies to hire great people. Our mission is not just to fix hiring, but to fundamentally change the way that human mental effort is allocated.

One founder was the Chief of Staff at Dropbox, the other previously sold a company and published machine learning papers. We have a real business, customers, and revenue, with machine learning problems that are core to our product.

We're looking for a hungry, scrappy generalist to join our adventure. You'll be working directly with the CEO, so there's a ton of room to grow into the role you want and own core parts of the business as we grow.

Example projects: - Set up processes for training and quality control that scale as we grow. - Communicate directly with customers to understand their hiring needs and specify their exact requirements. - Manage the backend contractor team that makes our core product operate. - Handle any task that would otherwise slip through the cracks.

About you: - You’re highly reliable, effective, and amazing at getting things done quickly. - Great customer service and treating people with empathy is important to you. - You have some knowledge of software engineering and technology. You will be able to communicate intelligently about what a customer wants in a software engineer.
