Ask HN: Who is hiring? (November 2015)

San Francisco mostly/ London/Spain/Sydney | TokBox | iOS Engineers, Test Engineers, Technical Sales, BizDev Manager and Sales Rep | 98% Onsite, remote for the right fit

https://tokbox.com/

TokBox does embedded communications powered by WebRTC. We make it easy for customers to embed real-time video into their websites and applications. We are a PaaS company, and have great clients from individual developers to massive players in tech, entertainment, education, and many other industries. The product is great but the people make this place where I work. It's an awesome group of 70 or so people- nice, smart, skilled. We are laid back and have a sense of humor. Good salary, flexible, and great benefits!

We've hired a ton but a few openings left. Looking for developers in iOS, test engineers, someone who is technical but is also good at sales (a sales engineer), and more people to help bizdev- a manager and a sales rep.

NFL | Culver City, CA

The NFL (http://www.nfl.com) is looking for great software engineers to help build out its fan facing web, mobile and backend services. The NFL properties see hundreds of millions of users worldwide and its mobile applications are installed on tens of millions of devices.

We are primarily hiring iOS, Android, Web and Backend engineers (with a lean to people with an interest in full stack development). Currently we are building (and rebuilding) a lot of our core architecture. Our new iOS app is written entirely in Swift, our Android application using RxAndroid and our new web platform is based on React.js. On the backend we are in the middle of rebuilding many of our services experimenting with different technologies generally with an eye on immutable data and functional programming. We are very comfortable relocating talented people to Los Angeles.

If you are interested, please email me at todd.berman@nfl.com

Scribd (YC '06, "Netflix for eBooks", top 100 website, 50 people) is hiring talented devs in a variety of flavors to help us build the library of the 21st century.

We've hired ten full-time people and dozens of interns from these "Who is Hiring" threads ... we do go through all of the applications we receive in response. There was some feedback about people not hearing back at all. We take candidate experience very seriously and recently hired someone to own our recruiting process and now everyone who applies through our job board (http://grnh.se/gr84t3) will get a response.

Right now we’re looking for:

* mid to senior level Android devs (we're a top 10 eBook app with more reviews than Wikipedia, with a small mobile team so there’s a lot of opportunity for impact and responsibility)

* Data scientists or engineers with experience in Machine Learning / data mining / recommendations - think Netflix prize, but for books!

Please note for Internships: We look for junior standing or above for all areas of engineering. We hire several interns every summer and fall. We aren’t currently accepting applications for summer 2016 but please check our job board in November for the job posting when we start the hiring process.

We care way more about your personality, potential, and general hacking skills than what specific languages you've used so far, so if you haven't used these but want to break into mobile or web development, this could be a good opportunity for you. We've hired people from these threads with everywhere from 0 to 10 years of experience. That being said, there isn’t always an opening that’s a good fit but we do our best to find a match for talented people and there are several people who interviewed 2 or 3 times before the time was right.

To expedite your application, please apply directly to our job board where you’ll find all of our current opening and the job descriptions. We do our best to respond within 24 hours, and you’ll get an answer either way. http://grnh.se/gr84t3

We're profitable, very well funded and have a really fun office environment (go-karts + a jam room!) in the center of the startup world in San Francisco. Scribd alumni have gone on to found 4 other YCombinator companies, more than from any other startup. We think this says something about the kind of people that we like to hire, and we love hiring people with entrepreneur and startup ambitions. We are also always looking for international people interested in moving to the US and can help you secure a visa.

Open Whisper Systems • San Francisco • Full Time • ONSITE

• iOS Front End -- Someone intimately familiar with iOS development and internals, who has an appreciation for the craft of software development and experience with making decisions that result in great products. No experience with cryptography necessary, just solid experience developing for iOS and an eye for good design.

• Android Developer -- Is the pleasure center of your brain directly wired to the experience of a slick UX or a nice animation? Do you hunt down memory leaks and StrictMode violations for fun? We're looking for someone with deep knowledge of the Android framework and an equally strong intuition for pairing beautiful app experiences with beautiful code. You'll be the architect of major features, making your code available to the world. You don't need to be a security expert; it's knowing how to make complicated systems simple to use that's at the heart of what we do.

• Mobile UI / Product Designer -- We’re seeking an original thinker with strong visual design skills ready to help make private communication simple. You'll take on developing the look and feel of Signal on iOS, Android, and the desktop. You’ll be responsible for updating the visual design for the app and helping shape consistent guidelines to communicate a compelling user story across our products and other touchpoints. You’ll work closely with a team of engineers with a passion for making usable software.
