Ask HN: Who is hiring? (May 2015)

Socrata (http://www.socrata.com) - Platform/DevOps Engineer - Seattle, WA

At Socrata, we believe that data – when made transparently accessible – can illuminate, inform, and inspire. Socrata builds cloud-based software products that democratize access to public sector data and put it into people’s hands so they can use it at work, at home, and on the go. We power open data portals for City of Chicago (https://data.cityofchicago.org/), Los Angeles (https://data.lacity.org/), and many more.

We’re looking for a strong engineer to focus on developing our Mesosphere/AWS/Chef runtime platform. The full description of this position is at http://careers.socrata.com/jobs/?jvi=oNu7Yfw6,Job If you've got any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me noah.meyerhans@socrata.com (I'm an engineer, not a recruiter!)

We release nearly all of our work, both from a DevOps and general engineering perspective, under Open Source liceses. Check out some of our repositories on GitHub at https://github.com/socrata/ and https://github.com/socrata-platform

Medallia - Palo Alto, CA - http://engineering.medallia.com

Medallia is hiring engineers to build our micro-service platform. World-class companies (Apple, Mercedes, Nordstrom to mention a few) use Medallia to create awesome customer experiences. Our platform is already used by hundreds of thousands of people every day, but we need your help to handle the next 10X of growth.

Dividing our codebase into independent micro-services will make it easier for new engineers to get up to speed, enable much faster deployments of new code (by the engineers themselves) and make it easier and cheaper to scale with much better resiliency.

Despite the popularity of micro-service architectures, and plethora of available frameworks, there are still many unsolved problems (especially around RPC performance, storage and freely moving processes around) in operating at scale in production. We not only want to solve these for ourselves, but share our findings and tools with the wider community.

We are using a blend of the best tech out there: Docker for containerization; Aurora/Mesos for data center / server management; CEPH for fully redundant storage and putting it together in a way we haven't seen anyone else do. We held a tech talk about it at a recent Docker Meetup:
