Ask HN: Who is hiring? (April 2015)

Bigleaf provides internet redundancy and optimization, keeping businesses connected to their internet-based applications by leveraging diverse ISP connections.

Our proprietary platform uses Software-Defined-Networking technologies to provide seamless failover and dynamic application prioritization. We have a reliable and high-performance service offering that’s been proven regionally and is in the midst of nationwide expansion. We’re looking for a lead software engineer to join our team to help make that a success.

Here's a summary of what you'll be doing:

• Software Projects: You’ll be responsible for driving the development of new systems, features, and bug-fixes; coordinating people and resources to ensure projects are done excellently and on-time.

• High-availability software design, development and deployment: Our customers purchase our service to improve their network reliability and performance. In this role you’ll carefully brainstorm, design, build, and deploy systems that are fault-tolerant, efficient, fail gracefully, and solve problems in creative ways.

• Troubleshooting: Our software has to run efficiently, and our network has to run almost flawlessly. You’ll spend time diagnosing problems in code and with Linux system integration, testing code updates, and helping with network operations, all to ensure our customer’s don’t have to think about their internet (because it always works).

• Linux Systems Development: We run a software-based network that relies extensively on Linux. You will help ensure that these systems are designed and implemented in a scalable and reliable manner, with appropriate security measures in place.

Bigleaf is a well-funded fast-growing startup, so your day-to-day tasks will vary a bit and morph over time. You’ll be an early team member, so you’ll have the chance to help shape company culture and make a huge difference. We plan to extensively promote from within, so you’ll have the opportunity to shape and grow your career over time.

Hey there! Allow us to introduce ourselves. We are Expensify and we do "expense reports that don't suck!" (Google "expensify" to read more.) We're getting crushed under an ever-growing pile of super awesome work, and I need one bright soul to help us dig our way out. I can guarantee you fun, an amazing opportunity to learn, and the siren's call of distant riches. But only if you are all of the following:

- An incredibly hard worker, even when it's not so fun. There is a ton of work to do, and a lot of it downright sucks. After all — we do the sucky work so our customers won't need to. I need you to buck up and grind through server logs, user emails, source code, and bug reports, without complaint or supervision, and come back asking for more.

- A cool person to be with. Not a crazy party animal, just someone we can trust, rely upon, hang out with, bounce ideas off of, and generally interact with in a positive way, both personally and professionally. In fact, this is one of the most stringent requirements we have: would you be fun to hang out with day and night on some remote, exotic beach? This isn't a rhetorical question, either: every year we take the company overseas for a month and work incredibly hard while having a ton of fun. We've done Thailand, Mexico, India, Turkey, Croatia and the Philippines. We just went to Portugal...where do you want to go next?

- Super talented, in a general way. We're going to throw a ton of work at you of every possible sort, and you need that magic skill of being able to figure it out even if you have no idea where to start. On any given day you might bounce between super low-level coding, super high-level technical support, marketing-driven data-mining, updating our user documentation, inventing/designing/building some new feature, etc. This is not a code monkey job — you're going to be a full participant in the process, and you need to bring your own unique blend of skills to the table.

- Specifically talented in a programming way. You can instantly visualize solutions to problems big and small. Your code is always clean, well commented, has good nomenclature and indentation. You can switch on a dime between C++, PHP, Bash, Cron, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, Dwoo, SQL — not because you know them all, but because you're the sort of person who can just pick it up and figure it out. If you're this sort of person, you'll know what I mean. If not, then this position isn't for you.

And there are a bunch more, but odds are if you got this far, nothing I can do would stop you from applying. That's a problem because while I know you are awesome, it's actually really hard and time consuming to find you in the midst of the literally hundreds of other applications I get from everyone else. So this is where I'm going to ask my first favor: can you make it really easy and obvious how great you are, so I don't accidentally overlook you?

There are probably many ways to do that. But the easiest way to do that is to check out we.are.expensify.com and send in an application(which you can find at http://we.are.expensify.com/apply).

We are excited to hear from you!
