Ask HN: Who is hiring? (March 2015)

Java Developer - Digital Shadows - London, UK

Digital Shadows provides cyber monitoring services to high profile organisations. We're an award winning start-up, and since being founded in 2011 we haven't stopped growing. Our application covers 80 million sources of data in more than 26 languages, everything from Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn to content hosted on the Tor network, IRC channels and insecure home devices. We de-duplicate, enrich and analyse this data in near real time to produce a rich set of intelligence for our clients.

We are looking for a Java Developer with experience in building high-performance, scalable commercial applications. You will be a key member of our team and be primarily responsible for Java application development though the role will involve all aspects of product development and engineering and have scope to influence the product roadmap, technology choices, architecture and much more.

Spatch - London, UK - Full Time (CAN OFFER VISA / RELOCATION SPONSORSHIP) - DevOps, Front-end, and Back-end

We’re creating a new form of communication. Email is over 40 years old and doesn’t support many modern use-cases. Most messaging alternatives aren’t decentralized or federated. We think there’s an opportunity to create a modern, federated messaging platform with mutable, collaborative objects being at the heart of it (i.e. tasks, events, etc -- but the objects could be anything). What would happen if you took the best components of email (IMAP/SMTP), chat (IRC/XMPP) and collaboration (Wave)... and created a federated platform and new set of open protocols around it? That’s what we’re building. Spatch is backed by some of the top US and European venture capital investors. Spatch is an equal opportunity employer.

We'd love to get to know you fellow HN'ers. Just wrote this post last week: https://medium.com/@mickhagen/the-spatch-hiring-guide-7a40b4... -- Does it resonate with you? Email us: jobs@spatch.co

Roundtown (http://roundtown.com) - Cambridge, MA, Engineering, Full Time

At Roundtown we're building the best site on the planet for finding out what you can go out and do.

We're building a database of every event we can find that's happening anywhere: festivals, art shows, concerts, meetups, sports games, tech events, everything else. We're doing this algorithmically, unlike some competing sites that use human curators (a fundamentally unscalable approach). We already have what we believe is the largest database of events happening in the U.S. and 6 other countries.

With that data in hand, we want to make it fun and effortlessly easy to find the events that you're interested in near you. Our beta site launched last May and is a good start. But there's plenty more to do: we want to add personalized event recommendations, apps for iOS and Android, email alerts when your favorite band/comedian/author is coming to town, and much more. This is a big and broad idea and will keep us busy for quite some time to come. :)

We're a 6-person startup with 2 technical cofounders, 3 engineers (2 are also data scientists) and a graphic designer. We have team members who worked at Google and MIT Lincoln Labs and who went to MIT, Princeton and BU. All of us work on site in Cambridge, MA. We're using cool technologies such as Scala, Angular and scikit-learn.

We'd like to add a couple more engineers to our team. Check out our job description at https://roundtown.com/jobs and let us know at jobs@roundtown.com if interested. Thanks!

Why work with us?

We're a small, passionate, agile team of developers. We work remotely via Campfire, Jira, Confluence, and Hangout. We meet regularly during the year to enjoy some time together and stay connected to the rest of the Decisiv management team and the service and sales groups.

    Integrating with external systems
    Developing significant libraries, algorithms or adapters
    Managing complexity in large applications
    Leadership of project, team or process

We'd love to see your Github account, code samples, or anything that shows your work. If such are unavailable, we can give you a short coding exercise. If you provide an example design document or README (or even an email) demonstrating thought and communication that's helpful too. So drop us a line and tell us about yourself!
