Ambition LLC

Chattanooga, Tennessee

Our company is creating 'fantasy football' for sales organizations to increase employee productivity through competition. We spend the majority of our waking life at work and most people don't like work... we are trying to make it incrementally more enjoyable which we believe to be a worthy cause.

Our product is currently in beta and will launch in a month. We have already established a foothold in the logistics industry and our initial three customers are $200m-$800m companies. Our current problems are very good problems to have.

Looking for strong python/django developers comfortable with full-stack development. Current stack is python, postgres, ext.js.

Looking for a sysadmin with 3+ years of experience. AWS experience preferred. Experience 'scaling' a product definitely a plus.

Looking for a designer with a portfolio of ground-up websites and applications. Mobile experience preferred.

If you are interested in this position (and are a developer) please email us answers to the following questions:

1. Why was your collegiate GPA what it was?

2. Why is Fizzbuzz an ineffective test of your knowledge?

3. How far have you made it through Project Euler?

4. How have you become so great at ____________?

5. What's the most challenging problem you've ever solved?

6. What's your favorite city in the world?

If you are a designer, a link to your portfolio will be great in addition to answering questions 1, 4, 5, 6.

Halifax, Canada. Canadian needed. REMOTE possible.

Twisted Oak Studios is looking for a strong developer interested in project management for our 4 year old worker-owned consulting company.

Our company's focus is high-tech interactive projects. Over the past year, our work has included game development (particularly in Unity 3D), graphics/shader programming, and language and audio processing. We’re mostly platform agnostic (mobile, desktop, embedded, custom hardware). We don’t do much web tech.

We're interested in working with people who care about their craft. Ideally this includes thinking at both the design level:

* data driven work estimation

* keeping long term technical requirements in mind

* thinking about how a piece of work contributes to product/project end-value

And the implementation level:

* code standards

* readability

* maintainability

* exploring new effective development paradigms & techniques.

For this position we’d like to hear a little bit about you, see something that you’ve worked on that you’re proud of, and hear about how you approach large-ish projects with a team.

We offer strong compensation, prioritize developer quality of life (limiting work-weeks, flexible hours), and do varied interesting work. Lots of opportunities and support for professional development and side-projects.

Lastly, if the relationship is great after 6-12 months, we’ll want to transition away from wages in to shared-ownership.

Hit me up at jobs@twistedoakstudios.com. I’m committed to responding to every serious note I receive.

Baltimore, MD; Reston, VA; - Videology - FULL TIME, INTERN (H1B maybe if already in US)

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

Internet advertising startup 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. The Baltimore office is a .NET shop, but the Reston office is Java on *nix (Mac for dev, Linux in production, and no plans to use Microsoft anything). Our stack is Java on Spring with MySQL and some NoSQL stores on AWS. 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.

Contact me directly at sahil_lmn@yahoo.com.

I actually got hired through a HN "Who is Hiring" thread, and I hired an intern through these threads. These things do work!

I'm late to the party, but we are based in the Silicon Valley and we are looking for a great hacker to be one of the founding members of a consumer-facing health startup. We have seed funding. We will be solving a range of interesting problems that will touch on NLP, recommendation systems, machine learning on genomic data, as well as mobile app design (iOS). You don't have to be an expert in all of these domains, but you must have demonstrable knowledge of at least one, and be able to learn fast.
