Ask HN: Who is hiring? (June 2017)

We're building what I'd have loved at 12 when I wanted to automate my Legos and Construx. It's a scriptable, distributed physics engine with networking support and a social network overlaid on top. Clients run on PC, mobile, and console. Devs publish their game and we spin up servers for them, make physics and networking work, support in-game currency, advertising, etc. Top games have 30k+ simul players, but the tail is very long.

We have over 40m monthly active users, and some devs on the platform are making 100k USD/month (and are still in high school, and have hired their friends to form studios).

We're hiring physics/rendering/networking C++ engineers, windows devops engineers (big scale), C# (or willing to learn) full stack engineers, and data scientists. Check it out at http://roblox.com - it's a downloadable client (to support native 60fps graphics). Make sure to try "Natural Disaster Survival".

Here's the job list: https://angel.co/roblox

Stop wasting your talent placing ads, working in finance or building yet another social networking app, join us to improve healthcare in America.

The systems we build help millions of American afford their medications and bring transparency in the complicated space of pharmacy benefits.

We like simple and robust systems and we need people who first write code for their peers. In the perfect world, you're a UNIX philosopher and Pythonista, fluent in SQL (we love PostgreSQL and SQLAlchemy) and you've abused public cloud APIs (we use AWS). We're very team-centric and while you'll have the opportunity to work on your own, you should be kind, have good communication skills and a sense of humor.

Required:

- 3+ years of coding under your belt, be it open source or commercial

- Python experience

- RDBMS (we use PostgreSQL but a decent exposure to any SQL system is good)

- Experience with version control, ticket systems, code review

- Experience with Linux/Unix (you know your way around a shell)

Nice to have:

- Experience building and working with APIs and web apps

- AWS experience (we use EC2, S3, SQS, Redshift, RDS, VPC)

- Experience with SQLAlchemy, Pyramid (or Django, Flask)

CapTech is a U.S.-based technology and management consulting firm that partners with some of the world’s most successful companies to achieve their strategic and business objectives. We help organizations bridge the gap between business and technology by delivering organizational transformation, customer engagement, data & analytics and custom IT solutions. Our collaborative approach helps organizations grow their business, engage with customers and turn data into powerful insights. We bring expert consultants to every engagement to develop a deep understanding of the goals and assets unique to each client. We tailor custom solutions to maximize the impact of our clients’ investment. It’s one of the reasons we’ve been on the Inc. 500/5000 list for 10 years.

We're really in need of .NET engineers in Richmond and Chicago and Java engineers all down the eastern seaboard (Philly, DC, Richmond, Charlotte, Atlanta). There's also a big need for iOS and Android developers in Columbus OH. However, we're hiring for many different IT positions so please check the careers page.

personal note I LOVE working here- culture is a HUGE part of this company and it shows. Read the values page on the CapTech website- everything that's written there is true. It's also fantastic because even though it's a consulting firm, it's explicitly NOT like the big 4 firms. There's a ton of camaraderie, professional support, and an enormous emphasis on work-life balance. You don't have to travel if you don't want to, and their mantra is "live where you work" so your commute won't be crazy either. You can work 40 billable hours and go home- that is absolutely fine and great, or you can get involved in extracurricular stuff or take a ton of training or take on extra projects if that's your thing too, and it's equally great. They're happy to meet anyone's personal needs as far as work-life balance, and it's awesomeeeee. Compensation is pretty sweet too!

We're looking for a full-time software engineer to take a key role in building the large-scale distributed systems that power Solarwinds Cloud products: Papertrail (hosted logs), Librato (time-series metrics) and TraceView (APM and distributed tracing).

We’re a small team so everyone has the opportunity to have a big impact. We’ve built our platform out largely on Java8 Dropwizard services, a handful of Golang services and some C++ where performance is critical. We leverage Kafka as our main service bus, Cassandra for long term storage, our in-house stream processing framework for online analytics, and we rely on Zookeeper as a core part of intra/inter-service coordination. Our data pipeline pushes millions of messages a second and tens of terabytes of logs per day.

All team members, whether local in San Francisco or remote, commit code to Github, communicate over Slack and Hangouts, push code to production via our ChatOps bot, and run all production applications on AWS. We also use an array of best-breed SaaS applications to get code to production quickly and reliably. We are a team that is committed to a healthy work/life balance.

Papertrail/Librato/TraceView are wholly owned by SolarWinds Inc. so you get the benefits of a small startup, with the backing of a big company so there is no worry about the next round of funding. SolarWinds offers competitive bonus and matching 401k programs that create an attractive total compensation package.

This is an example of some of the technology we build and work with on a regular basis: http://www.heavybit.com/library/blog/streamlining-distribute....
