Ask HN: Who is hiring? (May 2015)

Mutually Human - Grand Rapids, MI and Columbus, OH (on-site, full time)

We're always looking for developers, but we're especially looking for a senior designer to join our team right now.

A little bit about us:

  - We write custom software of all shapes and sizes for clients all over the US.

  - We aren't limited to any specific set of technologies, which is a great
    opportunity to learn. In the past two years, I've worked with Python, iOS,
    Angular.js, CoffeeScript, QT, Node, Ruby, Rails, and more.

  - We're agile, but not dogmatic about it. Our process evolves to suit our needs.
    We pair when it makes sense.

  - We practice a sustainable pace. Late nights and > 40 hour weeks are
    rare by design. For example. last year I worked an average of 40.408 hours per
    week.

  - We run a makerspace in our building (www.grmakers.com), which gives us
    access to lots of cool stuff like a laser cutter and 3D printers.

A little bit about you:

  - You love making software, and you have experience with a variety of technologies.

  - You learn new stuff quickly. You’ve used a lot of technologies, but you’re not
    afraid to use more.

  - You believe software is written for humans, not computers.

I'm a software developer on this awesome team. If you're interested, check out our website: http://www.mutuallyhuman.com/hiring/

Please if you are offering internships, write out intern in all caps or else searching the page becomes very difficult. These posts need to become standardized or else finding relevant posts takes three times as long, because posters will use the words "internet" and "internal" et al very often.

# Lead Mobile Developer

Fusionbox is a software development agency located in beautiful Denver, Colorado. We are committed to the open source community and we're serious about architecture and design at every level of the stack.

We've built our name on Python development and security, but now we are looking for an experienced mobile developer to support our clients more fully.

## Job Description

You will be in charge of the iOS stack, working closely with the backend engineers and the designers to deliver top-quality products to clients. Ideally you are also fluent in Android application development.

At Fusionbox we open source anything not core to a client's business. Our rule is: if you've used a piece of code in more than one project, it's time to open source it. So you'll be tasked with maintaining your open source contributions.

Finally, you will be expected to have opinions. If you see some aspect where Fusionbox could be improved, whether it be in the engineering process or in the way the company is run, patches welcome. You understand iOS conventions and best practices and are willing to defend them.

## Requirements

We are looking for an iOS developer with at least 3 years of software development experience. You don't have to be an expert in all of the following subjects, but if you feel comfortable with about half and you are interested in learning about the other half, please get in touch.

  * Experience with RESTful integrations
  * At home with version control
  * Understanding of relational databases and data normalization
  * Knowledge of software security, including common attacks and how to prevent them
  * Love of open source
