Ask HN: Who is hiring? (October 2021)

At Aurora, we’re on a mission to deliver the benefits of self-driving technology safely, quickly, and broadly. It all starts with the Aurora Driver, a platform created from industry-leading hardware and software and designed to adapt across a variety of vehicle types and industries.

As we prepare to go public this year, we’ve been pulling back the curtain on our technology and progress in self-driving - you can watch our engineers talk about our perception, simulation, hardware stack and more at https://aurora.tech/ai.

As we work towards building our first product, the Aurora Driver, my team is looking for someone to lead our service mesh effort.

What you’ll do as a Service Mesh Engineer:

Connect, secure, control, and observe traffic in Kubernetes clusters for our long-running services and APIs. You will work on our key ingress, as well as manage our services' authentication and telemetry. This person will have a huge impact in establishing a service mesh at Aurora and determining how distributed systems will work at our company.

When we’re back in the office, Aurora will run on a hybrid model. This particular role may also be open to remote (US only) for the right candidate.

We have tons of jobs open across Software and Hardware engineering - you can check them all out at https://aurora.tech/careers!

We're an open source platform for product analytics that took off after a launch HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22376732). Our mission is to increase the number of successful products in the world. We've raised nearly $30M since that post under 2 years ago, and have around 15K developers in our community.

There are two key roles open at the moment:

* A developer who likes to speak to customers. We are getting swamped dealing with inbound demand and are growing revenue by 50% month over month. I need our very first customer success manager - to help get customers what they need, and to ensure they're deployed and configured. This isn't a support ticket role, it's about making sure our customers, who are usually very technical, are successful, including (inbound) sales. We could see this fitting an ex-founder really well, but we're open. Our vision for customer success is a strong focus on tooling, documentation and automation, not on building a huge team. Above everything, you need to be proactive, smart, able to help solve technical problems, empathetic and someone that enjoys building relationships.

* A developer who loves writing - especially tutorial type content, and could own this for us. We've got lots of docs that detail what the product does, but we want to focus on explaining how to build a more successful product, and how PostHog can help achieve those. You might be writing about how to use our SDKs one day, or how to improve activation rates another. Bonus points for a data engineering background.

What it's like:

* Fast and direct! * Focus is on written and asynchronous communication. * Autonomous. You choose your quest. Small team structure to enable this. * Transparent - almost all our work is open source, public handbook, public compensation, internally shared board meetings and investment updates before they happen.
