Ask HN: Who is hiring? (February 2013)

Gittip - https://www.gittip.com/ - remote

We're an open company that's turning the economy inside out. Our product centers on small, weekly, anonymous, cash gifts to people you love and are inspired by.

Gittip launched 7 months ago with a single founder and has bootstrapped to about 600 active users moving about $1,500 per week. The concept has legs and now we're assembling a team to take it as far as we can. We started recruiting four weeks ago and have already added a dozen core contributors.

Gittip is funded on Gittip. Full-fledged employees receive no salary (per the definition of an open company) and have access to restricted resources such as production data, customer service accounts, etc.

Contact: Chad Whitacre - chad@zetaweb.com, @whit537, +1-412-925-4220, irc.freenode.net/#gittip

ConnectSolutions works in the Unified Communication space as a managed services provider, hosting enterprise and government UC products and building a platform and services around them. We are a profitable small business based in SF that was bootstrapped but recently took investment ($10M, http://tiny.cc/qnqdrw) in order to drive additional growth. We solve real and challenging collaboration problems for a large base of highly recognizable customers. Our success is in a large part due to the collaborative nature of our business and dynamic company culture. Our competitive compensation, benefits and perks reflect the high value we place on our people. Sometime this year ConnectSolutions customers (including Google, Charles Schwab, KPMG, SAS, Kaplan, General Motors, USAID, FDA, and many others) will surpass 5 billion collaboration minutes.

We're looking to start to ramp up a SaaS business to augment our successful and profitable managed services business that attracts high profile enterprise and government customers with a business that can take our lessons learned and value to small to medium sized business.

- Our product manager wants a full stack engineer with a lot of energy to work closely with to co-found a business line, if you're interested in being a technical co-founder without the risk of short runway this would be a great job for you.

- Our engineering team is looking for a devops engineer who can help move us into a SaaS world while our 5 year history is in managed services.

- We're also hiring a support engineer on our managed services side and an associate customer engagement person (combo project manager and account manager)

If interested in any of these positions, or you just think the domain/company sound cool and aren't a fit for these but want to work with us, e-mail me at matt@connectsolutions.com.

Ribbon (https://www.ribbon.co) is hiring. Full time in San Francisco. No remote. Front-end Developers, Designers, Rails Devs.

Looking to add to our team of five. Ribbon is building a frictionless payments and ecommerce platform that does the transaction wherever the buyer is. Imagine purchasing an item without leaving Facebook, or buying directly from within the Twitter stream, or through email. That's what we're building for consumers, businesses and developers in an elegant way with a huge focus on design. Looking for someone excited at the stage we're at: dealing with first customers, ramping up traction, figuring out new product direction and features - and also excited about the challenges we'll face, like making payments simplified for consumers and dealing with huge technical issues with fraud and building payments infrastructure.

We went through AngelPad in the fall and raised a big seed round from great investors. Awesome office in San Francisco, penthouse floor with views of twin peaks and the ballpark in soma.
