Ask HN: Who is Hiring? (June 2011)

We're a data-driven search engine for sports and concert tickets. We're trying to use analytics and exceptional UX to make buying event tickets a wholly better experience.

We currently have a four-person dev team, but everyone prefers to work on the backend. We're looking for someone to come in and own the frontend of the web app, which will involve creating interfaces in Photoshop, brining them to life in HTML/CSS, and (ideally, but not necessarily) doing some Javascript work.

I was originally talking about trying to get currently profitable trading strategies out of the same pieces of accounting information that millions of smart competitors have access to. It's definitely a bit of a Red Queen's race ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Queens_race ) trying to find and clean up new data sources and improve our trading methods well enough just to stay current. It's also hard because even though there's lots of data available, it's hard to tell how useful the early data is and whether you can still make money with trading strategies based on it.

Earth Aid ( http://earthaid.net ) is newly venture-backed by Point Judith Capital as well as strategic and angel investors who have built and scaled some of the most successful businesses today. We've been called "the killer app for energy efficiency" ( http://bit.ly/dZBy7q ) and our work has been featured in publications such as Mashable ( http://on.mash.to/hqyZqF ), TechCrunch, The New York Times ( http://nyti.ms/ayzLHb ), The Washington Post, and The Philadelphia Inquirer. We have small offices in San Francisco and Washington, DC, and we're now consolidating our heretofore distributed dev team and HQ into an awesome brand new office we just opened on Liberty Square in Boston!

We are looking for people who want to work on incredibly complex problems and come up with solutions that will change the world. This is an opportunity to not only work with a dynamic group of people, but also the opportunity to build a platform that's revolutionizing the way we look at energy consumption. We want the best and the brightest. People who work hard and play hard. People who want to make an impact. Why be a cog in the wheel when you can help steer the ship?
