Ask HN: Who is hiring? (December 2021)

Reserve | Remote | Full-time | https://reserve.org | BitTorrent meets CashApp, backed by Sam Altman and Peter Thiel

We help our customers cope with hyperinflation, capital controls, and discrimination from the global banking system. Our current customers are in Venezuela, Argentina, and Colombia and we have plans for eventual global expansion.

Our long term goal is to offer an alternate currency that is essentially a modernization of commodity money – a cryptocurrency 100% backed by a basket of low-volatility real-world assets. This would provide an alternative to USD that is actually stable enough to use as money. (No, BTC is not the answer. No, algorithmic stablecoins are not the answer. If you disagree, this is not the project for you.)

We’re open to team members from anywhere, with preference for the Americas due to timezones. We only recruit engineers with this HN post, and we hire about one engineer per month right now.

- We are about to start recruiting a CSO and/or high-level security staff member. Contact us directly [contact at reserve.org] if you are interested and we haven't posted the job yet.

  - Design & extend our existing real-time servo control infrastructure to support next-gen robotic configurations.
  - Define and implement the bare metal and application level embedded code to enable communications between the servo control system and the distal motor controller PCAs.
  - Work closely with robotic controls engineers to implement data flow and data management requirements.
  - Contribute to the development of a next-generation embedded framework and build system utilizing technologies such as Docker, Bazel, and Nix.

HMBradley | All Types of Software Engineers and Product folks | REMOTE/Los Angeles | Full Time

at HMBradley we're on a mission to rebuild how consumers interact with Financial products. Our flagship product is a checking account that pays higher interest when you save more of what comes in. We launched barely 18 months ago and have acquired more than half a billion dollars in deposits (We literally grew so fast our bank account product is currently invite-only!)

But our goals are much loftier than a bank account and we're just getting started on where we go from here. We've raised over $60M to build the best loyalty program in finance. Our core advantage over every bank you've ever done business with is that we don't have a silo'd structure requiring each individual product to be profitable on its own but instead build an ecosystem around each of our customers where the rewards get better with each new product they use.

In the very first days of HMBradley I used to tell people that we were "Mailing DVDs" in reference to Netflix. Today I would say we're just starting our version of "Shipping Ladders" like Amazon Prime.

These individual endeavors are helping us create an ecosystem of best in breed financial products that revolve around the customer experience, (which is what we believe is actually broken in banking) rewarding customer's with sound financial habits incentivizing good financial behaviors we believe is a win for everyone involved.

Fundamentally we're a software company that builds financial products. I'm a fourth time founder and I'm not here to sell this company, for us this is IPO or bust, we're swinging for the fence and the next 18 months is comprised of the most aggressive roadmap I've seen in any software company, much less in financial services. If we succeed we have a chance at becoming one of the largest companies the world has ever seen.

I often tell our employees that I cannot promise success, but I can promise fireworks. After the last 18 months of fireworks I'm proud to say there will be much more where that came from. We'd love to have you join us for the ride.

If you're an entrepreneur that's had a hard time working inside of other orgs I think we might have the exact right environment to let you thrive here because that is exactly the kind of founder I've been my entire career.

This has made it incredibly hard to be an employee at other places. My mission is to make this a place where incredibly entrepreneurial people can thrive but also have the benefit of building from a solid foundation and a massive set of learnings and shared services to leverage for the future.

If this sounds interesting and you don't see a job listed on our recruiting site feel free to reach out to me directly at zach [at] hmbradley.com and I'll get you in touch with the right person. We're posting new roles every day and we're looking for several single-threaded leaders for new product initiatives that are not listed on our site today.
