Ask HN: Who is hiring? (September 2015)

IdealSpot is looking for a front-end engineer!

IdealSpot brings the power of machine learning to retail site selection. Basically, we work with the massive amount of location-based data sources out there to help businesses find the best place to open a new location.

We're a young startup (less than a year old), but now that we have seed funding, we're looking to scale up our business. We’re building out a large mapping tool to help our customers visualize and interact with our data, and we need a hotshot front-end dev to help. Since we're so early in our development, there's a lot of room to help us work out the architecture, and make a big impact in how our business works.

We would love to find a developer who has at least some experience with UI and UX design. We find that understanding the user experience and flow is very helpful to being able to code the interaction in a way that makes sense to the user. Pixel-level design skills are also very helpful. That said, we expect you to be able to do the following:

* Code in Javascript on one of the popular frameworks (AngularJS, ReactJS, Vue.js)

* Build interactive UIs utilizing real-time data from internal and external REST APIs

* Interact with the Google Maps API

* Build responsive templates in HTML5 and CSS3 (knowledge of Sass is a big plus)

* Work with a team within a shared Git repo - i.e., you should know how to merge your code and not screw everything up

Send us an email at work@idealspot.com if you're interested. Feel free to include any past work you can show us, such as a GitHub profile.

Our goal is to replace car ownership by a better service: shared cars available at every corner will offer the flexibility and proximity of ownership without the burden of maintenance.

We already have a significant traction and rank #1 worldwide on the market of peer-to-peer car rental, but we believe the adoption should be 100 times larger in just a few years. We're currently looking for Backend and Fullstack engineers to join our tech team in Paris.

Positions are detailed here: https://en.drivy.com/jobs

If it sounds like something interesting to you, please contact me directly via mike+jobs@drivy.com

About remote work: it is possible, but we strongly favor applicants who can come to Paris (at least a few days per month).

We're a team of 15 engineers (22 total) building an Open Science platform to bring the world's research online, available to all, for free. With over 24M registered users (that's a user-to-engineer ratio of 1.6M to 1!) and growing at 10% per month, we're looking to reach to 60M registered within the next year. We're currently working on products which accelerate the speed of paper peer review and publication.

We're hiring full-stack engineers, front-end engineers, an infrastructure engineer, devops, and a product designer. We use Ruby on Rails, RSpec, Postgres, Nginx, Redis, Elasticsearch, Neo4j, Kafka, Backbone, and React on AWS. We're 3 blocks from the Montgomery BART station.

Please contact me if you have any questions or if you'd like to chat: kevin@academia.edu (software engineer). Check my profile for more contact info if needed.

SalesWise - Looking for passionate engineers in Atlanta

Space: Sales is the singularly most important function of any Company. The sales process is undergoing fundamental changes because prospects/buyers have immediate online access to all aspects of a Company’s products, positioning, reputation, and in many cases pricing. Many new products and platforms have been created to help sales organizations with these changes but sales reps and sales managers lack a compelling, easy to use, interface to organize, visualize, and share data about their prospects and sales performance.

Solution: We are building a Relationship Intelligence platform that automatically interfaces and integrates with all backend sales systems and tools (CRM, Email, Calendar, Social, etc). Our initial product radically simplifies how sales reps organize and interact with the prospect/buyers It’s an elegantly-designed product adapted to let them efficiently sell to their prospects without the headaches of CRM entry or spreadsheets.

We’re an Atlanta startup looking for passionate hackers that love building hard products. We’re a small, growing team of 6 with the founders being a wildly successful serial entrepreneur that can’t stop and a passionate ex-Googler that lives on the forefront of tech.

You:

- Love the full stack or love the deep focus on a layer of the stack. It’s OK if you don’t have chops in every technology that we’re using, but you should genuinely be eager about learning. Here’s what comprises our stack: Meteor, Javascript, Sass, Go (aka Golang), Kafka, Kubernetes, Mongo. (We appreciate both generalists and frontend or backend specialists.)

- Look forward to building and owning huge parts of the product. You’ll be among the early technical hires and there are a lot of exciting pieces to work on, let’s chat and we can find the right fit for you.

- Love to get going -- have the mentality of a hacker and the quality of a pro.

- Yearn for the high rewards of an early stage startup. Lucky for you, not so much risk as we have a solid comp plan lined up for you.

- Want to influence and grow the culture of a young company. The way we see it: We’re building something of immense value, let’s have fun doing it.

- Live in Atlanta, or can make the move.

- Are full-time or potentially looking for an internship. If you’re a rockstar, we don’t care what your deal is, let’s get you on board!
