Ask HN: Who is hiring? (February 2018)

Max-Delbrueck-Center | Berlin, Germany | Full-time | Onsite

The Berlin Institute for Medical Systems Biology at the Max-Delbrueck-Center in Berlin Germany (public service) is looking for a sysadmin with experience with software deployment, configuration management, and a bunch of different programming languages. Among standard fare sysadmin tasks (2/3 of the time) the applicant would package scientific software with GNU Guix for use on HPC systems.

Remuneration up to level E11 is possible.

If that sounds interesting, contact me via email at ricardo dot wurmus at mdc-berlin dot de and I'll send you the official job ad, which at the time of this writing is not yet online.

Teaser: We're eventually moving to a 4-day workweek. And you get to work from home on day one.

The role: Helping Y Combinator companies refine their user acquisition and conversion optimization strategy. So they get more users. Who stick around longer and pay more. We have a moat of data and tactics that make us the best. Which is why big startups work with us for so long.

  - Who we are: BellCurve.com is the top startup growth agency in SF. We grow mostly YC startups.
  - Clients include: Envoy, Clearbit, and Sentry. Plus a dozen more.
  - Our team: 6 engineers turned marketers. 
  - Approach: We emphasize data — not brand voice. We care about conversion — not brand marketing. 
  - Prior knowledge: We will teach you everything about advanced growth tactics.

We need someone who already:

  - → Is personable and can bond with others over phone calls. This has to be a strength of yours.
  - → Is a strong writer.
  - → Has worked for at least 1 funded startup. Can't be brand new to startup life. (No interns.)
  - (If you're introverted and don't say much on a call, you won't be a good fit for this role.)
  - Is concerned about process and being efficient with their time. Automate, delegate, batch. 
  - Lets data decide instead of exclusively relying on hunches.
  - Is passionate about a long-term future in growth marketing (aka growing startups).
  - Is able to quickly connect dots and come up with creative strategies on the spot.

We operate unlike a typical agency. (I wish there were a better term than "agency.") We work with clients for a long time; we see them from start to finish. You'll get a front-row seat to some of the most interesting companies. We have a profound impact on our clients' businesses and product roadmaps. They listen to us. Because we have built a moat of data and tactics that others have not figured out. (I personally learned a lot from previously running growth for Heap and Webflow.)

I have a hunch that A) operations/product leads, B) sociable engineers, and C) salespeople looking for something more than sales calls will be a great fit for this role.

How to apply:

  - → Email me (Julian Shapiro): jobs [at] bellcurve.com
  - → Kindly link me to your LinkedIn or attach a resume :)
  - Please note you must have experience working at a funded startup.
  - You must live in the US or Canada.
  - If you're a fit, I will respond same-day and we'll hop on a call together.

I will look at every application very closely.
