Ask HN: Who is hiring? (January 2019)

Paperless Post is a social utility with 100 million+ users that uses technology to reimagine invitations and bring people together in the real world. We’re continuing to grow with the release of our new product, Flyer (paperlesspost.com/flyer) and we're investing in our infrastructure and platform. Engineering & product make up 60% of Paperless.

We have multiple open roles across the stack. If you enjoy backend development, you’ll have an opportunity to build systems that are responsible for the next gen of services that enables product features, scaling and improving uptime using interesting technologies (Golang, Kubernetes, AWS, Postgres. MongoDB). Or if you enjoy working on the feature side, you’ll have the opportunity to set the direction and tone of the user discovery experience on a lean, high-performing feature team working with React, Go, Elasticsearch, Postgres, AWS, and GraphQL.

We take a language-agnostic approach to hiring and don't require prior experience with Go or Ruby. We're looking for resourceful, collaborative, and humble people.

I’m the Head of Recruiting and would love to hear from you: jchan@paperlesspost.com Or if it’s easier, feel free to apply here:

Proda is an investor-backed, data-mining startup for the commercial real estate industry; we're making data entry jobs less painful. Our clients have been beta testing our application and the feedback's been incredible: https://bdaily.co.uk/articles/2018/11/01/proptech-startup-pa....

What about the team? We have a high emphasis on continual learning. If you're not learning something new on the job its time for a new one. Our tech stack reflects this; Haskell and Elm are the main languages. We don't mind if its your first exposure to either. We're not afraid of experimenting or making mistakes. The most important quality of anyone on our team is their ability to learn and teach. Our sales pipeline is miles ahead of our development and we're looking to grow the team to deliver more feature our customers. Since we're still young, working with us means you have a lot of influence in shaping the culture and direction of the company. You'll also a chance to grow your skill set faster than somewhere else.

What about The product? We're building a data mining tool that can explicitly learn a relational data model based on sample inputs. It radically improves data entry and data cleaning for financial analysts. Customers have loved our demos and we're understandably coy in our public descriptions.

This is for someone who:

* is comfortable in functional programming, especially Haskell & Elm; and * is experienced shipping complex web software to production; and * has an eagerness to learn and willingness to share knowledge.

A Typical Day looks like:

* Start off writing a feature that requires elm-ports. These can be tricky, so you pair with another developer who has shipped such code before.

* After lunch you're requested to review a Pull Request that fixes a bug you accidentally introduced a couple weeks back. There's no blame, instead some discussion about how our tests and review process could have caught this earlier.

* The afternoon is spent with the Product guys around a whiteboard. You're helping them sketch out architecture for a complex new data-auditing feature that we'll need to deliver a couple of sprints down the line.

We're far more interested in your capacity to learn then the arcana of specific tech tools, but our platform is largely composed of:

  - Haskell
  - Elm
  - PostgreSQL
  - Python / scikit-learn
  - AWS
  - Automated Testing and CI/CD.
  

AlasConnect is a subsidiary of Matanuska Telephone Association, a telecommunications company which services part of southern Alaska. AlasConnect itself is a Managed Service Provider and has offices and clients throughout the Fairbanks, Anchorage, and Palmer areas.

I run a small team of developers which writes and supports software for both companies. All new projects are being written in Haskell as we standardize our tooling.

* Functional programming experience would be nice, but not required. Happy to train passionate people into Haskell.

* No internships. This is a mid-career position, so a few years of practical software engineering experience is required.

* We are not in a position to sponsor visas, and therefore can only consider people authorized to work in the US.

* Unfortunately onsite is a hard requirement at this time.

If you are interested the official position requirements and forms are listed at http://alasconnect.com/jobs.html under the Programmer heading.

About the interview process: We like to keep it simple. No coding tests, no white boarding. Just a nice chat or two about your skills, interests, and determining whether you're a good culture fit.
