Ask HN: Who is hiring? (November 2016)

Womply | http://womply.com/ | Portland, OR | Backend Engineer | ONSITE | Full time

Womply helps small businesses to grow, protect and simplify their business by providing tools to understand their revenue, social reputation and customers.

We are looking for a junior java engineer to join one of our backend teams. A solid understanding of java is required, as well as a good grasp of programming fundamentals, but we are not overly academically focused (we won't ask you to invert a binary tree on a whiteboard).

Our stack makes use of a variety of fun technologies like docker, kafka, zookeeper, cassandra and postgres, but familiarity with those is not a requirement.

Feel free to contact me directly at sbock@womply.com or go through our site. Include a resume and link to some of your code.

Monzo | Full time | London/remote | Visas sponsored | https://monzo.com/careers/

At Monzo we aim to build the best current account in the world. We are always keen to hear from capable, creative engineers who want to help us accomplish that goal; specifically backend engineers and Android engineers, and we also offer paid engineering internships.

Our engineering team have a variety of different backgrounds: we have several non-graduates; only a couple of us studied Computer Science; one of the team has a degree in Marketing; some of us have worked in huge companies; some have only ever worked in startups; others are former consultants. As long as you enjoy learning new things, we’d love to talk to you.

If you’re unsure about applying or have any questions about the role or team, please don’t hesitate to email me (oliver@monzo.com) directly :) We're very open about what we do in general, so our blog is a good place to learn more about what we do: https://monzo.com/blog/

Converge | San Francisco, CA | Software Engineers | ONSITE | Full-time | Drones / Mobile / Web Apps

We're a revenue-generating enterprise software startup (seed stage) from MIT that makes it easy for skilled professionals (think construction, insurance, real estate, etc) to use drones everyday in their job through a combination of incredible AI and HRI.

* Looking for junior or senior software engineers, and (paid) interns. Everyday, we work on tech that spans from Drones to AI to UX to Data Viz to IOT. We're less concerned with your exact skill set and more about what you would find motivating to work on every day.

* We strongly prefer people who have an engineering/science degree, or equivalent work experience. If you've only taken a three month class on the "full stack," these positions will not be a good fit for you. About Converge:

* Started in 2015, our founders were some of the first people to work on drones in the world, worked on the unmanned Blackhawk helicopter, and created the first mobile app ever for flying a drone (way back in 2008 at MIT…)

* We like people who have excelled at something outside of work, and are just downright interesting to have a conversation with.

* If you are looking for a keg, ping pong table or bro culture, we're not going to be a good fit for each other.

* Our team is small, we're very deliberate about hiring- you would be in the first 10 employees. To get started, please get ahold of via the instructions here: http://www.cvg.io/careers/

If you come from an underrepresented group in tech, please get in touch w/ me (@edave) directly via my HackerNews profile.

Our office is in downtown San Francisco steps from BART. If you're looking for a relatively small startup (we're still fewer than 120 people total, with ~45 in engineering) with an opportunity to have global impact, we'd love to hear from you at jobs@nextdoor.com.
