Ask HN: Who is hiring? (August 2019)

We're developing open-source solutions for data security and data protection, helping organizations to secure the data itself as well as the systems that process it.

We have an open-core approach and plan to release most of our technology stack under a permissive open-source license. To create and foster a great developer community we are looking for someone who wants to be our community leader for our open-source efforts! You would be responsible for building our open-source community and helping people to get started using our tools. You would be the maintainer of our open-source repositories and would ensure people get help when encountering problems with our software. Our developer and product teams will support you and have dedicated time reserved for our open-source projects to ensure we can be responsive.

We are a distributed team of 6 people with our "headquarters" in Berlin, we're extremely remote-friendly and welcome applications from around the world!

You should:

- Be able to write good and concise texts in English (native-speaker not required though). - Be passionate about open-source, privacy and security. - Be interested to communicate and work with a community of developers. - Have experience in building and managing open-source communities. - Be a fast learner and have an open mindset.

We offer:

- Flexible working conditions regarding daily work hours and total hours. - An environemnt that provides support when you need it but gives your freedom and ownership. - A friendly and growing team of people passionate about open-source, privacy and security.

We can hire people located anywhere, either as employees (for people located in Germany) or long-term freelancers (for people located elsewhere). Please get in touch with us at careers@kiprotect.com.

The main focus of our team is to build automated optimization and A/B testing tools for our customers. While this means that we use advanced Bayesian modeling in the backend, we do our best to make everything as easy as humanly possible to our customers. Our customers are not statisticians, after all. And frankly, as a frontend developer, you don’t need to be, either.

Our current frontend stack consists of React typed with Flow and Typescript. Oldest parts of the codebase still use AngularJS, so being able to read AngularJS and refactor it to React is a plus.

Narrative is building the first global data marketplace. It has often been said that data is the new currency. Unfortunately, maximizing the value of data is often easier said than done. On one side, transacting via individual point to point integrations carries a lot of overhead in both business development and technical integration efforts. On the other, going through big aggregators introduces opacity in the pricing and provenance of the data. At Narrative, we help our customers get value from their data by building a central auction platform to reduce the friction and tooling to increase the transparency in this process.

We are a small, early stage team looking for great developers who want to jump in and take major systems and user-facing features from design to launch. Here's where we are now:

- We are operating in Amazon Web Services. Our services are mainly deployed on EC2 provisioned with Terraform.

- We also heavily use other technology on AWS such as DynamoDB, S3, and RDS.

- Our backend includes a data ingestion web service with supporting Kinesis consumers, along with a growing array of Spark projects. It’s written mostly in Scala, with a smattering of Python for lambda functions.

- We sit somewhere in the middle of the “Scala as a worse Haskell” and “Scala as a better Java” spectrum. We love functional programming and we do make use of libraries like cats, but at the same time we heavily favor core language features and have no intention of rewriting everything using Free Monads.

- Our frontend is written in Typescript with Angular2 and a supporting API running on Node, and is deployed and monitored using much the same supporting tech as the backend.

- Other services we use include: GitHub, CircleCI, DataDog.

We are hiring for the backend role and are building the team with a remote-first mindset.
