Ask HN: Who is hiring? (April 2016)

Are you ready for a crazy, wild, roller-coaster ride - grofers.com/blog/first-days-grofers-abhinav-desor/?

Why move to India!! - This is the time to be in India - you will be solving some of the most challenging problem on earth which can only be solved by technology. The problem set, sheer scale and market size ($600 Billion) is unique to India. Pirates wanted! You will greeted with amazing peers, tough and impactful problems to code on and beer!

Grofers engineering is a fast-paced environment that focuses on excellence and high productivity. We face unique organizational challenges everyday and if you look forward to join us, you have to be someone who is comfortable in uncharted territory and is ready to build consumer, logistics, catalogue, fulfillment, retail and marketing systems that can support operations of 100,000 and 10 million people alike.

We're constantly taking on challenges like making efficient and fast hyper-local logistics, personalisation, search, payments, and growth - all the while shipping a beautiful user experience. We want to build solutions to these problems that are scalable, performant, and elegant, and we're looking for talented people to help us do just that.

The mission is to make buying groceries as simple as tap water availability. Confused? Two decades earlier, tap water was not readily available and the task of fetching water for the household was an unavoidable chore. With time, the establishment of a well-defined supply has now made lack of tap water availability a lore of the past.

That is exactly what we want to do to the issue of grocery shopping. The challenge is to organise the entire retail market (sellers, supply and distribution), build hyper-local logistics that can scale fast economically, and provide a delightful experience to the consumers.

Some facts from the last year and a half:

- Hyper-Growth: 0 to 1.5 million active monthly users across 17 cities within 1.5 years

- We were the best app of 2015 - Android & iOS

- Backed by Sequoia, DST, Tiger and Softback ( We are the only Indian company to have all of them onboard)

About us: We are a research group at the University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory that develops tools to better understand cities. http://www.urbanccd.org/

The project: The Array of Things (http://arrayofthings.us) is an urban sensing project involving the installation of at least 500 multi-sensor devices in the City of Chicago. The project relies on an open source platform, Waggle (http://wa8.gl), developed by Argonne National Laboratory.

Your role: As we deploy Array of Things (AoT) nodes, we need to ensure that the data we are collecting will be available to the public in the form most useful to them. For scientists, we need to develop APIs that enable analytics workflows. For developers, we need to minimize latency to allow near-real-time applications. For policy analysts without advanced data munging skills, we need to present interfaces that make the data easy to discover and use.

Technologies: You'll mostly be programming in Python. (The AoT storage system - https://github.com/waggle-sensor/beehive-server - and our open data hub - https://github.com/UrbanCCD-UChicago/plenario are both written in Python.) For storage we use Cassandra and PostgreSQL + PostGIS.

Location: We require you to be onsite most days, but we're flexible about which of our sites you want to work at: Downtown Chicago, University of Chicago campus, or Argonne National Laboratory. Perks: Everything we do is open source. Great university benefits.
