Ask HN: Who is hiring? (September 2022)

I applied for the Senior Android dev role around 5 weeks ago and got a rejection message 11 days later, so I'd like to know whether there's any point in re-applying now.

Thanks!

Do you care about contributing to open-source, and appreciate a good challenge? We do too! :)

Open-source

We are a team of veteran open-source developers, working on educational and community-based projects in an open-first environment – and we are looking for new members. By joining us, you will work full-time on open-source, pushing your changes to free software projects upstream through pull requests, contributing features, documentation, or help on public forums.

We care deeply about contributing our work upstream. You will see the results of your work reused and recognized across the educational community, increasing access to quality education for everyone, everywhere.

Remote-first

Unlike companies who reluctantly started to accept remote workers recently, we have embraced it from day 1. For the past 7 years, we have based and refined our way of working around remote-friendly workflows, from the ground up. No day-long video meetings, mandatory work hours, or risk of being forced back into an office one day -- as long as you have a good internet connection, it’s none of our business when or where you work from. :)

We are all working remotely, from all continents (except Antarctica, at least so far - applicants welcome!). We use remote-friendly and timezone-agnostic workflows based on asynchronous principles and good documentation practices.

Online education

We are one of the main contributors to the Open edX project, the main open-source MOOC platform created by MIT, Harvard and many other top universities. It powers sites like edX.org, the MIT Open Learning Library, and the national online learning platform for France. We provide development and hosting for institutions like Harvard Medical School, Harvard LabXchange, Cloudera, Autodesk, and several governments. We are not affiliated with edX.org, but we contribute and work with them on various projects.

Our handbook, like much of our work, is publicly viewable and you can find it at https://handbook.opencraft.com/.

Job description: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VgA7geR5oAsHzTRnldm6KU7L...

Since 2007 Springshare has been helping libraries (public, academic, K-12) thrive in today's digital-first world. We are a small-ish (under 100 people) EdTech SaaS with over 7,500 institutional library customers in 100+ countries.

Why Springshare? Stable work environment, challenging projects, opportunities for professional growth. Good benefits & perks (competitive salary, 401K employer matching, generous time-off policies, WFH expense reimbursement, non-pressure-cooker work environment). Working on a small team but having a big impact - we're 20+ engineers writing production-level code that powers the library experience for tens of millions of users worldwide.

Tech stack: AWS, Linux/nginx/php/mysql/redis/es on the back-end, and JS/Angular on the front-end.

Experience/Requirements: 5+ years experience with web software development. Full-stack generalists as well as front/back end specialists are welcome.

Ability to work with complex code base, refactor code, and apply design patterns. Strong experience in OOP and MVC concepts and writing performant code * Strong remote work experience and communication skills

Residency requirements: These are full-time WFH positions but to be on our payroll you must be a resident of one of the following US States: FL, NY, MA, PA, KY, TX, or CA. We also welcome international candidates but the hours must overlap significantly with the US working hours.

We love libraries and want to see them thrive. If you do, too, you'll love working at Springshare.

The Cross-Border Listings team (within Amazon's Selling Partner Services group) is looking for qualified devs who want to work at scale on the core of Amazon's retail flywheel. We work on systems that have a huge, direct impact on Amazon's business, serving selling partners who sell on Amazon all over the world.

Our team values work-life balance, and we prioritize work that keeps that balance in place (e.g. automation, tech debt). Our standups are almost always less than 15 minutes, and we don't do meetings on Fridays.

Tech stack is Java, JS/TypeScript, AWS.

Location is preferably within reasonable driving distance to locations above, but willing to consider candidates anywhere in the US. Also: open to candidates who might want to commute to Detroit from Windsor (this is niche, I know!).

I am the direct hiring manager of these positions. If you're interested, apply to either of these positions:
