Ask HN: Who is hiring? (June 2018)

Dwelo is the operating system for apartment communities. Our software, hardware, and service platform enables the owners and managers of multifamily properties (think, apartment buildings) to offer smart homes as an amenity to their residents while also improving the efficiency of their operations. In the last few months we've invested heavily in the metering and data analysis side of our business. And we have been integrating with devices outside of apartment units to bring entire buildings online. The engineering work we do has hardware (IoT, cellular, zwave and other forms of connectivity) and cloud (AWS, Twilio Sync) components. We are especially interested in talking to engineers who build with Python, Rust, and Scala. However, anyone who loves to see their software manifest real life effects on the corporeal world, or do predictive analytics on millions of sensor readings from networked devices, or create a magical and eminently accessible experience in the homes and communities of our residents and the operations teams that support them should talk to us.

Graphistry is powering the future of human-in-the-loop investigations. Analysts use us to untangle fraud, hacks, system operations, and other connect-the-dots problems.

We work with banks, Fortune 2000s, the US federal gov, and representative of our community program, our most recent project is with an anti-human-trafficking organization.

TECH

* First GPU clientcloud visual analytics stack

* First interactive visual playbooks stack for visually querying across Splunk, ElasticSearch, Spark, SQL, graph databases, APIs, and more

* Largest interactive graph renderer: > 1 million nodes+edges

* Building towards a 1B+ interactive-time multi-GPU backend

TEAM

* We helped build: the first parallel browser (-> new Firefox), the first functional reactive web framework (-> React), RxJS, Falcor, and more recently, Apache Arrow & GOAI

* Started & ran various enterprise security startups

* ... We're small, so room for huge & compounding impact

* Practice non-violent communication, modern project management (product designer, jira/confluence, sprints, ...), modern infra (docker and now k8s, ...)

ROLE

* Frontend engineering

* Collaborate with our product designer and fullstack team to go from mocks through design iterations to deployment.. and as a small team, influence the entire process

* Near-term ownership opportunities: interactive visual playbook/querying system, teams collaboration layers

* Use modern JS tools like React, Falcor, RxJS, Node, Apache Arrow

* Depending on interest: WebGL/OpenCL, and GOAI (Apache Arrow, Python Pandas but on multi-GPUs)

* Depending on experience, opportunities for management

LOCATION

* SF (ONSITE): Office near union square

* Austin (REMOTE): Multiple remote workers, aiming to open office by year-end

COMPENSATION

Salary + meaningful equity. We're at the sweet spot of a small product team that is getting into amazing accounts & preparing to grow.

Please email build@ with your CV, why you are excited, and portfolio examples of relevant projects.

Ellie Mae (NYSE:ELLI) is a leading provider of innovative on-demand software solutions and services for the residential mortgage industry.

My name is Vikas Rao, and I'm the Vice President of Product Management for our Lending Platform at Ellie Mae, and we are looking for teammates with strong platform expertise.

Prior experience in launching developer facing platforms, working with engineering teams to create platform services like activity streams, identity management, notifications, etc is key.

Please email vikas.rao@elliemae.com

We're tackling exciting technical challenges and building offerings relevant to interesting real-world problems in a variety of fields. We have particular strengths in dispersed computation, protocol design, and deep learning.

We're currently most interested in engineers with solid experience in Haskell/Idris or Rust. We're also open to enthusiastic developers who might lack this precise experience but are eager and able to learn. We also welcome internship/fellowship interest from postdoctoral researchers or senior graduate students.

We do not presently have openings for anyone still working on their undergraduate degree or for fresh graduates.

Send your resume to info@onai.com and we'll let you know if there's a potential fit.

You're right in part, but standards aren't binary, they involve messy interpretation. There's no law of the excluded middle—it's all middle and it's all included. So instead of asking 'what are the axioms to be universally applied on this site', you need to ask 'what in this context will make the site better or worse in the long run'. I know that's unsatisfying but we can't do better.

So the point is more like this: had we a way to allow only the replies to job ads which are true and fair, while filtering out the misleading or disgruntled ones, that might make the job board better overall. But we have no such way, and the damage caused by false or misleading replies is the bigger risk.

Job hunting and hiring both suck, but there are limits to what we can do about it here. Allowing Who Is Hiring threads to turn into a combination job-board-plus-Glassdoor-style pelting range would not benefit the community in the long run. Knowing HN's limits and respecting them is one of the secrets of keeping this place going well. Not that it's a secret.
