Ask HN: Who is hiring? (March 2014)

Clever helps schools bring digital learning to the classroom. We take care of the massive amount of data that needs to move behind the scenes, letting schools focus on using technology to improve learning.

We're hiring engineers - full-stack generalists, as well as specialists in security and infrastructure.

Join a small team (20, half engineers) that's on to something big. Over 1/9 schools in the US use Clever today. Most development is in Javascript, Go, and Python.

Company Overview: Cotap helps people work better together. We’re building mobile tools to help people communicate and collaborate at work, whether they’re knowledge workers or line workers. Mobile phones can mean more than photo-sharing or checkins. They can mean better day-to-day work and more opportunities for people who were left out in the past.

What we are looking for: We’re looking for someone to help us build an amazing web experience, both for mobile and desktop. Our product is aimed primarily at mobile users, so it’s very important that our pages are responsive on smaller screens, touch-friendly, and lightweight, while also looking great on traditional desktop displays. We have a ridiculously talented set of engineers and we’re looking for a front-end developer to join us. You’ll have a ton of technical autonomy: should we use Ember, Backbone, something else, or nothing? You lead those decisions.

Why us: We’re funded, which means we can pay competitive salaries and offer benefits. We’re also small, which means we don’t waste time on things like tracking vacation and sick days. Our passion is building great products and our goal is to bring them to a wider audience than the web ever let us reach. If that sounds like you, come join us.

Look forward to hearing from you! http://boards.greenhouse.io/cotap/jobs/563#%2EUxOxXEJdV1s

Us:

[i.TV](http://i.tv) is a growing second screen startup focusing on social television. Stuff we make:

* [tvtag](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tvtag-formerly-getglue/id377...), an iOS app that helps people have conversations about live tv.

* [Nintendo TVii](http://www.nintendo.com/wiiu/built-in-software#/tvii), the TV app on the WiiU. It is a single-page app that runs on the WiiU browser.

* [Optik Smart Remote](http://www.telus.com/tv/apps/optik-smart-remote/), an iOS and Android app for [Telus](http://telus.com). Basically the Comcast of Canada.

We have other fun things, like racks of servers processing live television to create and store thumbnails, tools to create games and other content around tv shows, etc.

We are a small-ish team of 13 engineers spread between Utah and New York. We communicate over team chat and screen-sharing to make remote people feel welcome. Our workflow is based around trust and helping developers be productive, which means flexible hours, remote friendly, loose vacation policy, whatever equipment you want among other things.

We are also still small enough that we don’t have tons of organized hierarchy, and passionate people can have a large impact on product, company culture, engineering practices, etc. We do 20% time, send people to conferences, and have Thursday brown bags to share things we learn. We aren’t perfect, but we try to make it a great place to be a developer.

Right now our backend architecture is lots of node.js, some Golang and a smattering of Python. MongoDB is our main data store, and we use RabbitMQ as a messaging layer. Our clients are built with iOS, Android, Angular, Backbone, and React among other things.
