Ask HN: Who is hiring? (August 2014)

We're looking to hire a handful of positions to help us bring private corporation ownership tracking into the modern era. We're replacing the dead-tree versions of stock certificates and option grants with fully electronic versions that provide up-to-date capitalization tracking, along with a lot of other powerful financial tools. Many of the other companies listed here use eShares.

1. Full-stack engineer (Python, Django, JavaScript, PostgreSQL, AWS, …)

2. Designer (heavy product design, visualization, front-end, HTML, CSS)

We have a small team of great people with a strong product sense. Customers love us and we love them! Direct email: eric+hn@esharesinc.com

Who: K2 and Associates. We're one of Canada's more successful hedge funds over the past 13 years.

We are building out our algorithmic trading infrastructure and you have a chance to get in at the ground floor.

Come help us turn our technology team from an integral part of how we do business into a profit center with its own PnL.

You are a developer who can take an academic paper and turn it into a working prototype because what you are designing won't have been done before.

You value correctness above all else because when you send 100,000 orders a day if you get 1% of them wrong, bad things will happen...

You are comfortable with F# or C++.

If you love a challenge please reach out to me at cholliday@k2.ca or my email in my profile.

We're a TechStars Boulder 2011 company focused on fixing the contact information problem. Our mission is to make contact management a thing of the past. We're still a small company (We clean, deduplicate, and search for contact information millions of times daily and maintain billions of records.

We've been on HN for our Person API which turns an email address or social handle into a full profile about a person (minus private contact info, e.g. phone/email/things we haven't seen publicly). This API has billions of indexed profiles and crawls public sources 24/7/365.

We have massive challenges to solve, in usability, simplicity, scale, and raw smarts. It's not easy to maintain billions of records, link them, and dedupe others automatically. But we want it to be stupid easy for our users.

=> I want:

* Smart new team members I can learn from and teach. Our company is all about learning, and every person has something to offer. You don't need to know our stack.

=> If you:

* Like to keep shipping, but work sustainably

* Be respected and respect others

* Simplify

* Be candid

* Trust each other

* Keep the BS to a minimum

* Build open-source software

* Work on a world-class JVM stack that doesn't have too many skeletons

* Java/Scala/Clojure

* A little Go too, but sssh. ;)

* And perhaps a smattering of Python

* We do like our tech, but only in the pursuit of "getting shit done."

* Like to work with some of the most interesting (and dangerous) data in the world, and lots of it. We take privacy super seriously, and you should too.

* Are creative. All of our positions require excessive creativity and out of the box thinking.

* Have experience with programming. We don't require you to know Java or Scala or Clojure, but that's a plus. Smart people can learn quickly.

=> And would like benefits such as:

* Unlimited vacation. As long as you aren't screwing your team (or vice versa, we all need a break)

* World-class healthcare. Seriously, I haven't seen coverage like this anywhere else. It's insane.

* Power-day policy. Take a day off, make it up elsewhere. Somewhat vestigial with our unlimited vacation, but it's a good way to take a day off with almost-zero-notice for days when the slopes are killer.

* A healthy work-life balance.

* Going to industry events. If you want to talk to me, I'll be at Cassandra Summit with my team members, one of whom is presenting his work on a Cassandra SSTable reader for Hadoop.

=> Then we have a few positions that may be of interest:

Engineers:

☆ Android Developer

☆ Data Engineer

☆ Senior Software Engineer (come work with us!)

Crucial product/sales/design:

☆ API Account Executive

☆ Applications Product Manager

☆ Product Analyst

☆ Director of UX

We're a small Dutch startup looking for an experienced programmer to co-lead a small team of 3 programmers (frontend and backend) and an intern. Tasks involve making software design and architecture decisions together with the relevant team members, hacking on features alone or together, motivating the team, and keeping tabs on our (very light-weight) kanban-esque process.

Previous leadership experience is welcome, but experienced programmers who are looking to extend their leadership skills are most welcome as well. We're not very hierarchically organized so typically you'll "lead by programming" (and code-reviewing), not by Excel and sticky notes.

In case you care, our stack is React+TypeScript on the frontend, plus SASS/Foundation for a nice responsive mobile web experience. We do cross-platform C#/Mono on the backend (no Microsoft-lock-in here: current dev team consists of OSX, Linux and Windows users), all data in PostgreSQL, and Docker for deployment. When we grow, we'll probably want to add fancy trendy data stores (like Neo4J or Redis) so you'll have plenty nice new things to work out. We don't really care whether you have particular experience with any of the aforementioned technologies, as long as you have decent full-stack web dev experience. So if you know Ruby, Python, OCaml, CoffeeScript and LESS, then hey, let's talk :-)

Izooble (https://izooble.com) is a Social Recommendation Platform for products in which people use their social networks to find, share and buy products online. With Izooble, users get 100% personalized search results and 100% relevant content in their wall, without privacy issues and free of advertisements.

We're organised as a distributed company, currently with people in the Netherlands, Spain and Poland. One of your responsibilities will be to make sure the remote team members don't miss out on what happens in the office, so it would be good if you can be in the office quite frequently. But not necessarily daily, depending on how far away you live: We'll happily hire a good candidate who lives 2 hours away without demanding relocation.

If you're interested or have any questions, get in touch with me personally, via my HN profile. (please note, I'm currently on holiday so I might respond a bit slowly)

We’ve been busy building a service whose mission is to delight consumers and content creators alike.

Our founders, former founding CEO and CTO of Hulu, Jason Kilar and Richard Tom, have assembled a unique and talented team, with strong experience building and innovating at places like Hulu, Netflix and Amazon. As a team, we are unusually passionate about the intersection of media and technology; we see an opportunity to improve media, particularly next generation video

We're looking for strong developers who love to code in a variety of languages (Python, Node.js, React, Coffeescript to name a few) tackling every portion of the stack. If this sounds like you, learn more at http://www.vessel.com/careers or email careers@vessel.com
