Ask HN: Who is hiring? (September 2018)

(This comment originally said something about flamewars but that was a copy/paste mistake!)

LSST invites applications for a Front-End Developer to join the Education and Public Outreach (EPO) Team. The goal of LSST EPO is to provide worldwide access to, and context for, a subset of LSST data through engaging and exciting online experiences so anyone can explore the universe and be part of the discovery process.

LSST is a large aperture, wide-field, ground-based telescope that will survey half the sky every few nights in six optical bands. LSST will explore a wide range of astrophysical questions, ranging from discovering near earth asteroids, to examining the nature of dark energy. The project includes an 8-meter class telescope, the largest digital camera ever built (3.2 gigapixel), a state-of-the-art peta-scale data management system, and a fully-developed online EPO program to bring the excitement of astronomy directly to the public.

The LSST EPO program is currently being designed and built by a diverse team residing in Tucson and in Chile. We are looking for a great Front End Developer to help round out our team and make this dream into reality. You will contribute by developing interactive visualizations and online tools that are intuitive, satisfying, inspiring, and beautiful for our users. We're a small team, so the most important thing is to be able to be flexible and solve problems - even if they aren't your problem. If you know astronomy, great, if you don't, great, you're our target demographic!

The Front-End Developer works on the design and development of browser-based educational activities. As a technical member of a diverse team that includes astronomers, educators, and developers, you will be responsible for collaborating to refine user interface requirements and then iteratively developing and testing prototype mockups in HTML/CSS/JavaScript. Duties include whiteboarding/wireframing ideas, troubleshooting errors/performance, documenting code and deliverables, and providing periodic status updates to leadership.

For questions about this opportunity, feel free to reach out and contact bemmons@lsst.org!

Magic (http://getmagic.com/) is a Y Combinator-backed software company in San Francisco, CA that is building a hyper-intelligent, ubiquitous assistant available over SMS, email, chat apps, and other digital channels.

Magic was founded in 2015 by a team of software engineers with one simple premise: create a natural language interface to the complexity of the world, delivered by a combination of software, artificial intelligence and human expertise. We are hardcore developers at heart, we are highly iterative, and we are relentless. We are minimal and focused on writing code that really matters. We don't stop until we are done.

Our primary technologies right now are Node.js, Meteor, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, AWS, Docker, Ansible. Experience with these are very nice but not required. We believe in using the right tool for the job.

We are currently hiring for senior, mid-level, and junior engineering positions. This is a full-stack, generalist role for which you will be given a high degree of autonomy and will be expected to deploy impactful code to production in your first week. We're less concerned with your resume and more concerned with your ability to get real stuff done.

Come build the future of human-computer interaction with us.

Bonus points if you've got...

- Experience working with Node.js, Meteor, modern web application frameworks - Experience with devops, the AWS suite, Docker, Ansible, Jenkins - Experience within early-stage startups or human operations companies
