Ask HN: Who is hiring? (August 2019)

We're a tiny, but well-backed, team trying to build an alternative to the ad-funded social media platforms of today, by prioritising face-to-face time over screen time. Between us we've previously founded consumer tech businesses, led product teams, run a micro-VC and even launched a (secret) music career.

We are looking for React & React Native developers who love creating products that people want to use. You understand that apps—and code—are for people, not for computers, and always strive to make our app and codebase more understandable and easy to use.

You'll be helping to build an app using the latest best practices targeting the web, iOS and Android. We're using TypeScript across the stack, React with hooks client-side, an event-sourced architecture using PostgreSQL and Redis server-side, and GraphQL for type-safe communication between the two.

We've taken care to make our hiring process as transparent and stress-free as possible. We won't do any whiteboard / algorithm interviews, and you'll be paid for any take-home test we ask you to complete. We aim to give honest feedback after any interview, so that the process is not a waste of time for you even if the role is not a fit for you for whatever reason.

Despite having built substantial credit in their home countries, millions of immigrants have difficulty accessing credit cards, loans, mortgages, and leases without domestic credit. Nova Credit enables newcomers to share their credit history from their home country with financial service providers and others, unlocking new consumers for lenders, and new futures for immigrants. The team is 30 people and has raised $20m+ in funding from Index, General Catalyst, First Round Capital, Nyca, and Y Combinator.

I'm a competent C and C++ programmer. The C++ spec weighs a lot, so I'm hesitant to call myself an expert, but I have a good working knowledge of the languages. For a previous employer I worked on a commercial Windows IDE for ~3 years.

I've been working on the foundations of a 3D game engine for ~3 years, which has taught me a great deal about C, systems and graphics programming on both Win32 and Linux. I chose to build it without libraries (Handmade Hero style) which began as a learning exercise, but ended up teaching me to value simplicity much more than I expected.

I can configure and maintain webservers, proxies and load balancers having worked with the web for 10 years.

I have a good understanding of the Linux network stack and APIs at the systems level - I've worked on several custom TCP + UDP protocols in the past.

I love building tools. Sometimes I feel like I was made to build tools. I build all kinds of tools - tools for computers, tools for automotive maintenance, tools for making tools. I've been building a game engine, which I would consider a collection of tools, for years and I still enjoy working on it.

Lastly, and I think this is interrelated with the tools thing, I'm a systems programmer at heart. I love having direct access to the chip and needing to understand the hardware architecture, as opposed to the internals of an interpreter, to write well-working and well-performing code.

That's the cliff-notes on my technical background. As a person I'm friendly and easy to get along with. I like the phrase "Have strong opinions, weakly held".

I enjoy backcountry skiing, snowmobiling, rock-climbing, hiking, biking and beer! I live in a small town called Nelson in British Columbia, Canada and would strongly prefer to work remotely. I've been working remotely for several years for companies in the SF bay area and love it!

If you think I could be a good fit for your team and would like to chat I can be contacted by email at jesse.hughes.it@gmail.com

Our company: Argo AI is developing and deploying the latest advancements in artificial intelligence, machine learning and computer vision to help build safe and efficient self-driving vehicles that enable these transformations and more.

The role: Our brand new Code Health team will maintain Argo's core C++ library, build out static analysis and refactoring tooling and own our C++ toolchain. The custom static analysis tools we create will ultimately ensure the safety and security of our vehicles, and the core library we maintain will make our on-vehicle code efficient and maintainable. With this being a new team, there is plenty of room for growth in the organization as the team/company continue to scale. We're looking for engineers who are deeply passionate about writing clean, efficient code and who love the C++ language. We're currently using C++ 17 here and are looking into the new features of C++ 20. We have attended CPPCon in the past and have our Code Health Lead giving a talk there this year!
