Do you...

Enjoy building scalable, distributed systems with automation and modern tools?

Love telemetry and monitoring and view them as a means of validating success as much as diagnosing problems?

Know how to apply best practices to enable building of a resilient system across multiple geographic regions, as well as within a single zone?

Have enough determination to solve the vexing issues -- and the prudence to leave the non-pertinent challenges for later?

Have a "buck stops here" attitude, and feel personal responsibility for the availability and success of projects you contribute to?

Draft

DRAFT (get.playdraft.com) is the first truly mobile sports fantasy game. On DRAFT you can do quick head-to-head drafts with your friends (or random opponents), or draft in groups, leagues or tournaments. And you can even win real money doing it.

Team

We're proud of our flexible, collaborative atmosphere that stresses quality and efficiency over sheer velocity. We're looking for people who value integrity and humility, and take pride in the work they do. Our hierarchy is very flat and everyone is empowered to make or contribute to important decisions.

Scale

We were recently acquired by Paddy Power Betfair (ISE: PPB) and are preparing for a significant increase in users as a result of cross-promotion and the start of the NFL season. Accordingly, we’re looking for a few talented operations and back-end engineers to form the core infrastructure team to help us scale, build new features, and improve our engineering tools.

Apply at https://angel.co/playdraft/jobs/234940-operations-engineer-s... or shoot us an email: nicolo at playdraft.com.

I'm Billy Tetrud, the Founder of Tixit. We're a small (9 person) team building a lightening fast extensible project management system. We're looking for a 2nd technical cofounder to accelerate the development of our product. You'd be working with me (the other technical cofounder) in designing and implementing the core backend as well the web frontend. We value our test-driven development, clear internal and external documentation, and doing things right to build and maintain momentum. Our stack is node.js and mongodb. I'm happy to chat with you over the phone or skype about what we're doing. We're just about to announce our public beta this month.

Email me at billy@tixit.me and mention you're from HN, I'd love to hear what you've been working on. Check out more info about us at https://angel.co/tixit-1 and more info about the position at https://angel.co/tixit-1/jobs/114395-technical-co-founder

Please don't use ASCII art or other visual gimmicks in these threads. That one's cute, but it's not fair to the other posters.

:( although thats disappointing I understand.

The "edit" button is gone...do you want me to re-post the message without the ascii art and you can delete this one? (but then I lose my spot in the chronological order)

Can we add a new category for REMOTE? It would be awesome to add "GLOBAL REMOTE" so I don't spend too much time looking in "REMOTE" post that only applies in the same country.

Yes, that'd be much appreciated!

This sounds way cool! Is there a physical HQ to work from in Seattle, or do Seattle employees all work from home/find their own workspaces?

There's a physical office in Seattle. It's small but there should be room for at least one more ;)

Of course you can also work remotely whenever you want, even if you live in Seattle.

If you remember this tech, read this next line:

When you make an account at https://www.houndify.com/ the first thing you see is a microphone-enabled textbox you can type or talk into and play with.

A couple things for SoundHound to consider adding to the to-implement list:

A) "What is the temperature in the south-right-most delineation of the country north of me": "Didn't get that!"

B) "When will it next be 25C": "Didn't get that"

(I was trying to match the complexity of the voice demo... sorry)

C):

Me: "What is the temperature in celcius":

SH: Got it right

Me: "What about in fahrenheit"

SH: Got it right (I checked)

Me: "What about the town 15km northeast"

SH: "It is 76 °F in Borgou Department, Benin."

Me: ...WAT. I'm in [the suburbs of] Sydney, Australia. :P

That's mildly scary. :P
