Ask HN: Who is hiring? (March 2015)

Hi, I'm one of the co-founders of Tanda.co. We help businesses pay their staff correctly and on time - with powerful SaaS for rostering, attendance, and payroll automation.

We've been bootstrapped and profitable for almost 3 years now. Come and join our team of 10 (at least count - it's growing quickly!). Last year we won a Lord Mayor's business award for Brisbane's best startup.

Position is full time, or part time equivalent.

As well as this, we have a few other roles at https://www.tanda.co/careers/ which HN readers might like. Apply through there, or email me: alex@tanda.co

Upcoming is a Dutch 'listicle' website (a listicle is an article consisting of a list of funny/informational/sentimental/whatever stuff). We've been growing continuously since we launched in 2013, already reaching 15% of the Dutch population with zero € spent on marketing. We're (an independent) part of Telegraaf Media Groep, one of the biggest publishers of The Netherlands.

We use python in the backend (Flask, Celery+RabbitMQ), and manage the frontend with Jinja2, jQuery, LESS and Grunt; persistence is done with MySQL and Redis. The deployments are automated, in a Continuous Integration environment. Our backend is developed in-house, with state-of-the-art publishing related features (monitoring of 1000's of feeds to detect trending articles, headline and thumbnail A/B testing, advanced CTR optimizers...).

Since we're part of a big media group, some of these tools are now being used by other teams, reaching tens of millions of users every day.

We'd love to bring on board a pragmatic developer. A CS degree helps, but relevant web experience is more important for us. We'd love it if you have spent some time across the whole stack, but if you consider yourself "just" a frontend or backend developer, we'll hear you out too.

We offer:

- A perfect balance between working on innovation projects and “regular” web development, both with short and iterative development cycles.

- The flexibility and dynamism of working in a startup, with the strong stability of being part of a big company.

- An international environment

- Relocation assistance

- A competitive salary

- 25 vacation days

- Amsterdam! You’ll be living in one of the most beautiful and cosmopolitan cities in the world.

We’re focused on understanding and recommending content at scale using first-party behavioral data. Our first product is an intelligent native ad server for sponsored content.

We’re solving hard problems in engineering and ML/NLP research, and are looking for:

• full-stack engineers with interests and experience in functional languages (we use mostly Scala, some Haskell), large-scale distributed systems (AWS experience preferred), and front-end dev;

• research engineers with interests and experience in natural language processing (particularly Bayesian approaches and topic modeling), personalization and recommender systems, and more-general ML (deep belief nets and computer vision particularly welcome).

We’re a VC and Y Combinator-backed startup hiring our early team in London. As an early employee, you’ll be an integral part of the team and have direct influence on the direction of product and tech, and the opportunity to be involved in all aspects of the business.

Interested? Feel free to reach out to us at jobs@permutive.com

Textin helps companies cut employee slack by generating timesheets with simple worker sms checkins.

This is done by placing "Clockers" - tiny digital time clocks that keep changing 6-digit code every 30 seconds. In order to check-in, all the worker must do is to send this code as an SMS within this 30 second timeframe. Timesheets are generated automatically and are available instantaneously in the textin.io web dashboard.

Your job is to prospect, generate leads, engage potential customers, handle inbound leads and, most importantly, perform direct sales of: 1) Textin platform subscription (monthly reoccurring payment) 2) Clocker devices (one-time cost, shipped worldwide by DHL)

As sales, your commission will be the first 4 months of reoccurring payments from the deal you close sent to you monthly for 4 months after each payment from the client.

The end-price of a single Clocker device to the client is ~10$ (depending on amount). Shipping is included. We sell them at cost or loss.

The platform subscription starts at $5 per worker (discounts available). So netting a company that tracks 100 workers nets you $2000 during 4 month period (51004=2000).

Our clients are in Construction, Cleaning, Delivery, Hospitality, Real estate, Telecommunications, Transportation, Travel &Tourism.

The main pain-point Textin addresses is temporary or outsourced workers, as it requires no additional equipment or training. The worker must use their own phone, and simply text (send as SMS) a 6-digit number they see with their own eyes to a number. All the manager must do, on the other hand, is simply enter the worker's phone number and name to Textin dashboard.
