Ask HN: Who Is Hiring? (October 2012)

Top Hat Monocle (http://www.tophatmonocle.com) is hiring for a few roles: mobile dev (iOS, Android), sysadmin/infrastructure developer (rabbitmq, selenium, fabric, ec2), general web developer (python, django, javascript, node.js.) We also hire interns so please feel free to apply for that as well (paid of course.)

We're a profitable (and valley VC funded) education startup that helps make class more engaging. We've got some really cool problems to work on and your work would be impacting a huge number of students daily.

Our dev team is in Toronto but we've also got an office in San Francisco so if you're really good we would be open to having someone work from there. If you're not based in Canada or the US but are willing to relocate feel free to contact us, because we do cover relocation expenses and will help you manage the work permit process.

OUYA's making a game console, built on Android. http://ouya.tv

Hardware ships in March (with developer kits going out in December). OUYA's building a small team that will create a new game platform: discovery of new games, a TV UI, eventually working on the Android NDK to improve game performance, a social layer, and... other stuff.

No titles environment, everyone works directly with the CEO. Other engineers from EA, Amazon, Pivotal, Motorola, etc. Almost everything we write could be open sourced.

You work independently, love to be wrong when a better idea comes along, play games, and maybe even backed our Kickstarter so we know you were in from the get-go. You know where the bodies are buried in Android, or can figure it out quick.

No time to write more. If you're interested, help us get to know you better with this every-question-optional get to know you...

We'd love to hear from you.

The Stationary Storage team at Tesla Motors is growing and we’re looking for smart and versatile developers to add to the team. Our current team is very small and we’re looking for a hand-on, generalist who will get things done. You will work on a variety of subsystems, some are existing codebases (with other users and developers) that need modification for our application, while other projects are new and specific to our group. The team is small and you will be able to shape the direction of the product and a large amount of ownership of the firmware and software that is specific to this application ranging from architecture to implementation to testing.

Here are some of the projects that we see coming up soon:

* Embedded C on a microcontroller with an RTOS

* Communication over CAN, Ethernet, zigbee, and GSM networks

* Machine learning for analyzing and modeling energy systems (We’ve been using Matlab and Go, but would love to explore R, Hadoop, and AWS)

* Design and evaluation of algorithms for energy and power markets (think Quant algos but controlling real hardware and moving energy instead of money).

* Designing a robust system to control distributed resources

* UI for customer facing control and data viewing

* Development of parsers/compilers/code-transformers/DSLs for templating and code generation.

While this isn’t the typical HN job, we could see many of these projects appealing to people who are excited about at least several of:

* Green Energy

* Physical hardware

* Parsers/Compilers/DSLs

* Machine learning/algos for people who don’t want to work in Finance

* A variety of languages and technology (in the last 6 months I have used C, Python, Perl, Go, Matlab/Octave, Tcl, VB, and in my small circle people are using Ruby, Java, php, R and probably others.) We are a small team working on energy and designing physical hardware (which you will control!), so our internal conversions are more likely to touch on “watt-hours” and “tooling costs” than “closures” and “apps”. We would love to see (but we have some positions that don't require these):

* Comfortable with embedded C

* Degree in Engineering or experience with Energy
