Ask HN: Who is hiring? (November 2021)

We provide peace of mind to SMB's who rely on the internet, by building enterprise-grade SD-WAN solutions on top of commodity-grade network hardware. We touch a little bit of everything: Linux system/kernel development, hardware, networking, ops, OpenVPN, Python, Go, Wireguard, React, AWS, Azure, etc. And looking ahead, we're contemplating: k3s, DPDK, and perhaps some chaos engineering. See: https://www.bigleaf.net/careers/ for additional details.

I'm personally hiring multiple roles:

* DevOps + Site Reliability Engineers (SRE).

* Back-end Software Engineers.

* Engineering Managers.

Do you feel overwhelmed by the amount of stuff to learn? Do you have hundreds of books in your to-read list and articles saved in Pocket, but wish you could extract the main ideas faster?

The goal of Shortform is to make the world's best ideas more accessible. Right now we create the world's best book guides, with in-depth chapter-by-chapter summaries, original insights building on the book's ideas, and distillation of the book into actionables. They're like superpowered book summaries.

Eventually, we want to summarize and contextualize every meaningful idea published each day, in every form of media (books, articles, podcasts, videos). Imagine you had a magical Chrome extension that takes any page you're viewing (like a top HN article) and gives you a high-quality summary, along with summaries of alternative viewpoints. That's a vision of what we're building.

--------

Company status: We launched 2.5 years ago. Shortform was funded by the founder (who has built multiple bootstrapped profitable companies in the past) and has taken on no outside investment. We "could be profitable" but are reinvesting in growth. Engineering team consists of 5 full-stack engineers.

Technology: Vue.js on frontend, Flask/Python on backend. (Keywords for searchers with tech flexibility: Angular, React, Django)

About the role: Ideally you're fullstack on the web, and comfortable on both front-end and back-end. Position is remote (current team is worldwide). Fulltime / parttime roles available. We're able to pay competitive market salaries (i.e. not decreased by equity).

Email jobs+engineerhn@shortform.com to get more details about the company, what we're building, and the application process. In your email, please discuss your experience for our stack, and also your favorite non-fiction book (to help us screen out spam emails).

Terminal49 us all-in-one ocean shipment and container tracking platform. Shippers, Importers, service providers and other logistics technologies co's use our data dashboard and APIs to track and manage ocean containers around the world. We take a bill of lading/container number and build a pretty picture of shipping containers journey.

>> How does it work: We pull data from every ocean carrier (Remember Ever Given?) and US/Canada port/terminal, then standardize it and push container milestones and other events to our customers (webhooks etc). We track containers for our customers so they don't have to. 9/10 people still manually track container by visiting carrier websites and logging into terminal websites (paste container numbers, click track and then copy status back into a spreadsheet -- not joking).

>> Our Progress: Went from 0 to $2M ARR over last 14 months and growing at 20+% MOM. Container tracking is just the beginning. We are going to go deep into drayage/ocean visibility and build everything from predictive APIS and APIs to programmatically take actions (pay fees, appointment booking, book drayage etc) on a container.

>> Why join us? We are a team of 6, fully distributed and profitable. We are about to raise our Series A, so it's the perfect time to join an have impact on our roadmap and company culture.
