Ask HN: Who is hiring? (November 2017)

GoodNotes [http://goodnotes.com] | Senior software engineers (backend, frontend, iOS) | Full time | Hong Kong ONSITE, VISA

GoodNotes was created from our founder's frustration of taking readable and reusable notes on his first iPad. We have since grown to millions of happy users and have been featured on Apple's marketing materials.

We are a fully bootstrapped and profitable company. We started off as an indie developer and now is time for us to grow the team. We are particularly looking for lead web engineers as they will play an instrumental role to our future growth (real time collaboration, multi platforms, and new business models to name a few).

It’s an awesome opportunity to work with the one of the best iOS team in the region on a product loved by millions. Hong Kong is also a great first stop if you are interested in exploring Asia!

We're especially looking for senior backend engineers with some previous scaling experience, and we're giving out significant equity for this role.

Yara (http://yara.com) | Multiple Positions | Berlin | Onsite

Yara is a global firm specializing in agricultural products and environmental protection agents, with a mission to responsibly feed the world and protect the planet.

We have recently decided to invest heavily in a new unit called Digital Farming, to help us achieve this goal, by building tools to help farmers use our products more efficiently and by creating business models that make our products more accessible.

More specifically, we'll be doing things like building web services and apps that take inputs from sources like IoT devices, weather data, and satellite and drone pictures, and use this information to give precise recommendations to our farmers.

Therefore, we are looking for skilled developers of all experience levels to come and help us build the team. We're just getting started, so we haven't landed all of the decisions yet on the stack. Expect React (web/native) for the front end, and a JS or python framework on the back end - with microservices to handle the more advanced stuff.

This is a unique opportunity to help us define the vision, the tech stack, and even the way of working and culture. We are hoping to do some amazing things, and need a lot of help to do it!

Our careers page is at http://yara.com/careers/vacant_positions/ (just search for developer) - if you're interested and don't see a role that fits precisely, just apply for one of the roles anyway, and leave a note in the cover letter! Or feel free to reach out directly to me, email andy (dot) vance (at) yara.com

Head of Digital Product | NewsNow.co.uk | London, UK | Full-time, permanent Designer/Developer | NewsNow.co.uk | London, UK | Full-time, permanent Web Developers / Full Stack Developers / News Algorithm Developers / Back End Software Engineers | NewsNow.co.uk | 100% remote (UK residents only) | Full-time, permanent

We are a top ten UK media publisher, with a website loved by millions: a technology company at heart with industry-leading success metrics propelled by a highly experienced multi-disciplinary engineering team that can afford to run lean. Which means today, we offer all the excitement and agility of a start-up, but with the stability and benefits of an established business — we’re still a company where everyone gets to make a massive impact!

Our mission: to democratise and disrupt the market for news. Today, we have major plans for growth, both here in the UK and abroad, and to create even more social capital out of what has been an extremely successful platform: through increased editorial direction, curating credible but independent journalism, as well as through computational approaches to identifying the best news to show our users.

We currently have these opportunities:

- As a /Head of Digital Product/, you’ll take over from our CEO in keeping all our development efforts incredibly well organised and delivering the vision. You’ll grasp our strategic vision, consult with stakeholders to prioritise and specify desired developments, and co-ordinate the work of our agile development team to balance our editorial, development and commercial goals and deliver them with maximum efficiency.

- As a /Designer/Developer/, you’ll be responsible for designing all aspects of the website UI and brand, and work closely with Head of Digital Product and senior management on the biggest redesign of our homepage in 20 years. You will be working with Adobe Creative Suite, JavaScript, CSS3, SASS, HTML5, Responsive Web Design, progressive enhancement and feature detection.

- As a /Fully Remote Web Developer/, you’ll write the logic that drives the UI, and integrate new UI with back-end data. You’ll also work on a wide array of other UI/UX, SEO, and content integration challenges.

- As a /Fully Remote Full Stack Developer/, you’ll be expected to contribute authoritatively towards product development projects throughout the entire software stack: from database and infrastructure installation and configuration, through writing business logic and prototyping website presentation, to developing our bespoke programmatic advertising technologies.

- As a /Fully Remote News Algorithm Developer/, you’ll develop automated curation algorithms that will produce the content for a new homepage format.

- As a /Fully Remote Back End Software Engineer/, your projects will largely be server-side. You will bring a sophisticated approach to problem solving, finding ways to achieve objectives while addressing scalability challenges and security concerns.

All London positions are based at our centrally-located head office. All fully remote roles are open to UK residents only.

If you think you’re a fit for any of these roles, please apply online. http://www.NewsNow.co.uk/careers/
