Ask HN: Who is Hiring? (March 2012)

Boston, MA

Ember is hiring a Support Engineer:

http://www.ember.com/company_career.html?id=507

At Ember we make chips and software for low power wireless networks. We do all of the software, from the lowest level embedded firmware, through the complete Zigbee/802.15.4 networking stacks, all the way to the developer and debug tools used to actually test and deploy our chips/networks. We do all of the hardware too: chip and board design, as well as the development tools our customers use.

Our support engineers get their hands dirty with all levels of customer support: hardware, software, networking, you name it, you get to learn about it, and help customers work with it!

Ember is a great place to work. I know, most people and companies say that, and they may be right, but I know for sure that I'm right! We're a small-ish company, and we really enjoy working with each other.

Please email me with any questions about the job or Ember: hnmarch2012@saidsvec.com

Toronto, ON - Slightly Crazy Web/Mobile Developer (http://www.myplanetdigital.com/careers)

We are change agents. With offices in Toronto and Chicago, Myplanet is a rapidly growing provider of technical and creative services for web and mobile platforms. Along with a top-notch user experience/interactive team, some of our main specialties include the Drupal Social Publishing Platform, the Magento E-Commerce platform, mobile development for Android and iPhone devices, PHP and Python-based web applications and integrating weird legacy systems (hello RPG code, how did you get in there?).

Our clients range from large public companies to startups, non-profits and government agencies. On any given day, we work on projects ranging from building creative new web and mobile experiences, to launching startups for clients, to helping clients understand and plan for adoption of new interactive technologies. We are, in essence, one part technology specialist, one part interactive agency, and one part business model incubator.

We like to work on things that matter with people who care.

===================================================================================================

About the position

You'll be tasked with building important systems for interesting clients, with plenty of technical challenges and opportunities to learn as you go. You'll work in a Scrum team, primarily in PHP to start - you'll also likely learn how to build complex systems in Drupal through our 2 month intensive training program with world re-known Drupal experts.

About you

A background in Computer/Software Engineering or Computer Science is strongly preferred, but we're open if you can demonstrate you know your stuff and have a nonconventional degree. We're looking for 1-2yrs experience (if you're fresh out of school get in touch anyway). Double points if you have startup experience.

We mostly work in PHP, but diverse language experience is a plus. It's more important that you're smart and driven than that you're a PHP expert. If you've played around with iOS development, HTML5, Python, Ruby/Rails 3, Android dev, Facebook app dev, etc., those are all positives.
