Ask HN: Who is hiring? (September 2015)

What is considered entry level or experienced?

Java, Dropwizard, JRuby | REMOTE (EU/Asia timezone) Contractor, part- or full-time

European mobile payment provider, but unlike the rest who are credit card based we support "normal" bank accounts, resulting in very low fees for merchants. We are well-funded and have traction in our country. Most of the brick and mortar businesses are integrated with us, and have large banks as partners.

Technology-wise we use simple and straight-forward frameworks and tools as dropwizard, hibernate, postgresql for internal and external APIs. JRuby and Rails for web portals and internal tools. We consume and provide a lot of APIs that come in all forms and shapes from soap, rest, files sent over FTP, etc.

You have strong skills in Java 7 or 8, write solid, robust and well-tested code. You are not afraid to jump into legacy code and refactor it if necessary. You prefer boring technology over the shiny new, and your implementation typically simplest way that works. At the current stage of the company you need to be self-motivated and find the work by yourself. Ideally you are also comfortable with Ruby.

We give you great flexibility when, how much and where you work. Timezones however should be European or Asian, at least in the beginning. You should commit to at least 3 days per week. Unfortunately we cannot afford silicon valley rates.

Just saw this.

Sort of docker related. We're increasingly using it for backend infrastructure services. Off the top of my head, I don't know of a player/client facing service that is written in Go, but it's only a matter of time.
