Ask HN: Who is hiring? (December 2014)

We're hiring engineers! #10 on Crain's Best Places to Work in NYC. #47 on Forbes' America's Most Promising Companies. We handle many billions of events per day, we're hooked up to all the big ad exchanges, and we've got a world-class data science team. But we're also still pretty small on the engineering team, and everyone gets their hands dirty and makes a real impact.

Some info on tech: We write mostly Java. Hadoop, Cassandra, Mongo, and Kafka are big parts of our stack, and we're always looking for new tech that helps us work at scale. Experience with these is a big plus, but if you've never used them before that's fine too, if you're eager to learn.

Some info on culture: We play Ultimate or Soccer on Fridays, we have a company band, we work sane hours, we don't track vacation (and not in the 'so nobody ever takes any' sense), and we Get Stuff Done. You'll learn a lot from working here, regardless of your current level of experience. You'll work directly with a world-class data science team (winners of multiple KDD Best Paper and other awards) that keeps us on the cutting edge of learning at scale, allowing us to build customer-specific models from billions of events per day.

If you write clean, working code, think through problems, and deliver on time, we want to talk to you. Contact me at taejin -at- dstillery -dot- com

khanacademy.org - Mountain View, CA - remote is a possibility

Non-profit trying to change education.

A note we got last week:

==================================

I only have a bachelor's degree in IT and I can only find "boring" jobs because of that even if my actual job can seem cool on paper.

I watched Cosmos and other sciences/physics stuff and was always amazed by that kind of knowledge. I tried to understand a bit more about the physics but lacked the mathematical knowledge. I looked for ways to refresh my memory and discovered Khan Academy.

Khan Academy made me fall in love mathematics. The master challenge are amazing, I spend 20-30h a week on Khan Academy while working full time and saving money because...

I will go back to school next year to try to get a degree in Physics.

==================================

Every month we get letters like this from people everywhere who are thankful for our free, high-quality content. Most of you know Sal's videos, but we also have thousands of videos from other teachers, partnerships with the likes of MoMA, the Met, and the Aspen Institute, plus a huge library of interactive exercises. More than 20 million math problems are done every week on our site.

Mutually Human - Grand Rapids, Michigan

http://www.mutuallyhuman.com/

---------------------------------------

We are a small team passionate about making people's lives better through software. We're looking to hire senior software developers and software designers at our office in Grand Rapids.

A little bit about us:

  - We write custom software of all shapes and sizes for clients all over the US.

  - We aren't limited to any really specific set of technologies, which is a great
    opportunity to learn. In the past year, I've worked with Python, Objective-C
    (and Swift), Backbone.js (inside PhoneGap), Angular.js, QT, Node.js, and
    of course Ruby.

  - We practice a sustainable pace. We recognize that we each have lives,
    activities, and families outside of work. Late nights and > 40 hour weeks are
    rare by design.

  - We're agile, but not dogmatic about it. Our process evolves to suit our needs.

  - We offer competitive salaries, health/vision/dental insurance, quarterly profit
    sharing, retirement + match, weekly catered lunches, and a top-floor office
    with snacks, guitars, and your choice of standing or sitting desks.

  - We run a makerspace in our building (http://grmakers.com), which gives us
    access to lots of cool stuff like a laser cutter and 3D printers.

A little bit about Grand Rapids:

  - 2.5 hours from Chicago and Detroit, less than an hour to the beach.

  - Lots of great beer. Founders Brewery (a mile from our office) has 3 beers in
    the Beer Advocate top 15. HopCat is a “World Class” bar on BA.
    Just look here: http://beeradvocate.com/beerfly/city/43

  - Low cost of living. I bought a nice house with a mortgage payment
    30% lower than the rent of my 1 bedroom apartment in Mountain View.

  - A growing technology and startup community.

A little bit about you:

  - You love making software, and you have a couple of years of experience doing it.

  - You learn new stuff quickly. You’ve used a lot of technologies, but you’re not
    afraid to use more. You have some experience with web or mobile technologies.

  - You believe software is written for humans, not computers.

  - You want to come into work every day and enjoy the people you work with.

I'm a software developer on this awesome team. If you're interested, check out our website:
