Ask HN: Who is hiring? (March 2013)

Lookout is a large player in the mobile security space, continually ranking near the top of antivirus detection lists, and we have a good shot at being the mobile security shop. We're looking for people to work on security aspects, to work on Android apps (including who can dissect C code at the core of the app), as well as people working on the server teams, both front-end and back-end engineering as well as Platform and Infrastructure.

I'm on Platform and Infrastructure, and I've been working on the Ruby 1.8 -> Ruby 1.9 upgrade, post-deployment monitoring (Graphite to Nagios to email), security vuln assessments, and more. Queer-friendly, trans-friendly company, women in significant leadership roles through engineering and beyond. Email me at lee.butterman@lookout.com if you want to chat.

We're digital-telepathy, but our friends call us dt. We're the UX Agency and Products shop behind SlideDeck, Hello Bar, Flare and more. We focus on ideas that are challenging, rewarding and fun. We're growing on both the products and client side of the fence and are looking for great UX & Interface Designers to be a part of our team. ...Interested?

On any given day, you may spend your time:

- Collaborating and strategizing with fellow designers or strategists to bring client and product ideas to life

- Focusing on betterment – finding new ways to make ourselves and the things we make better

- Sharing your creative vision with your team and clients

- Teaming with developers to craft compelling interactions

- Using design research and analytics to inform new designs and refine existing ones

- Writing a blog post on UX, if that’s what you’re into

- And most important – crafting beautiful and elegant web interfaces

* Who you are. We’re looking for someone to help us bring forth new ideas, interactions and experiences that work well across not only devices, but audiences as well. You should be fun to work with, because you love what you do, right? You’re comfortable pitching ideas to your team and clients, and iterating on them swiftly. You’re constantly redesigning things in your head, both on and offline to reduce friction and improve experiences. It also won’t hurt if you have a love of interjecting well-timed movie quotes and a penchant for witty-banter.

Position Requirements

- You have significant experience creating highly-effective and beautiful user-focused interfaces across a variety of environments (mobile, web apps, dashboards, e-commerce, etc)

- You bend the Adobe Creative Suite to your will (particularly Photoshop and Illustrator).

- You have experience planning and executing both redesigns as well as new-concept design projects, from start to finish

- You have a strong understanding of use-cases, user flows and information architecture

- You have the ability to see and communicate your ideas to clients and the team

Continuum Analytics (http://continuum.io) is building a Python-based advanced analytics platform in the browser, named Wakari (http://wakari.io). We have a solid team that's put together a great product, but we need a few more great people to help us really make this thing shine.

The front-end web developer position is going to mostly help us build out the most cutting-edge data visualization and dashboarding UIs, as well as be a general JS/HTML/CSS guru. Some knowledge of the backend stack (especially in Python) would be great, and there is a good chance that we'll be targeting tablets and mobile HTML designs down the road.

The UI/UX designer will not just help us develop refined workflows throughout the entire application, but will also be heavily involved in discussions about novel data analysis and data viz interfaces. They will also be leaned upon to help us with print design, for marketing collateral. We are also involved with a number of other open-source efforts, all of which can use some more design expertise for their web properties.

Continuum Analytics is building some of the coolest backend tools for Python in Big Data and high-performance computing. We recently made some waves by winning a $3 mil contract from DARPA to build out a Python to x86/GPU compiler (http://numba.pydata.org), a distributed array/tabular processing system (http://blaze.pydata.org), and a next-generation interactive graphing engine for JavaScript + Python (http://github.com/ContinuumIO/bokeh).

We are a very young startup based in sunny Austin, TX, but with many devs working remotely. We have full benefits and have a very distributed workflow/infrastructure, relying on distributed collaboration tools.

Our founders are both technical but have a lot of business experience in the advanced analytics space. Our team is absolutely world-class, consisting of authors and contributors to core Scientific Python / PyData packages like NumPy, Scipy, PyTables, Cython, Chaco, and others. We are only a year old, but we are growing quickly and our products are gaining a lot of traction.

Email jobs@continuum.io and come join our team!

If you are going to be at PyCon in a few weeks, come by our booth and learn more about the company! If you are going to be in Austin for SXSW, we'll be at the Door64 Startup Showcase on Friday March 8th, and we're one of the sponsors of the Austin Data Party on Sunday March 10th, so come see us then!
