Ask HN: Who is hiring? (July 2015)

- Rust Open Source Software Engineer [http://careers.stackoverflow.com/jobs/90236/rust-open-source...]

Job Description

Can you imagine a new decentralised Internet, free from corporations selling your personal details and private information for their profit, where users are in control of their data and all communication is secure, private and anonymous? What if this new network was comprised of the spare computing resources of the world’s Internet users and has years of planning and development behind it.

The company implementing the replacement for much of the Internet’s services is called MaidSafe and they plan a public launch of the platform later this year. This new network has generated much interest from the world’s technology press.

As the platform approaches its first public release, MaidSafe are looking to strengthen their team with engineers experienced in producing open source software. MaidSafe are implementing their vision in Rust and knowledge of this new language is an advantage. A background in contributing to open source projects is essential and the successful candidate will also be able to demonstrate knowledge of multiple programming languages.

This role provides the opportunity to work for a cutting edge open source company with a big future, as well as the freedom to push your skills to the limit.

While an office based developer is preferred, this may be a remote position where for ease of collaboration, the candidate will be required to work between 09:30 and 17:30 UK time (British Summer Time) Monday through Friday.

Skills & Requirements

- Commits have been made to verifiable open source repositories

- Experience in Rust preferred, but not essential

- Experience working within an iterative Agile development process

- A proven track record of submitting quality bug reports to open source issue trackers, preferably with bug fixes. Some links to examples would be great

- A presence on Stack Overflow, where you have asked or answered hard questions and been recognised by others for your answers

- Familiarity with revision control and hosted repositories

In addition to supplying a CV, a list of URLs (code contributions, stack overflow answers, mailing list posts) containing evidence of why you would be a great hire, is essential. It would be great if you could supply a github.com or sourceforge.net, or equivalent account for MaidSafe to review.

At Klets we bring customer chat to all businesses in the world. We believe that chat is a great communication medium but it's underused for communication between companies and their customers. Especially B2B companies nearly exclusively use phone and email, and this is simply because there have been no good chat-based solutions to fill this gap. Klets fixes this. We launched a month ago and are seeing impressive traction and adoption.

We're looking for an intern who wants to make our existing and potential customers extremely happy. Your role will be very flexible and very much open to your own wishes and (study) needs. It's a plus if you have a clue about online marketing and can write (blog) well. You'll be studying something related to marketing, business or communication right now, and we'll tune the opening to match your studies. The fact that you, a non-programmer, are looking on Hacker News for internships gives you an immediate edge.

Most of our customer support (obviously) goes over chat, so it's important that you enjoy chat and text messaging. We find that customer support via Klets makes complete strangers have fun and crack jokes with you, so it's certainly a fun job. We'd also love for you to contribute to our marketing strategy if that's up your alley - content marketing, growth hacks - anything you can think of, really.

We'd like you to live relatively nearby but we're open to a big part of your work to take place remotely if necessary. So if you're in (or near) the Netherlands but not near Eindhoven, no biggie, with a combination of trains and remote work we'll make things work just fine.

We're a very young startup, and in our stage, there is no real difference between sales and customer support, and even marketing (because a great product with great support tends to market itself to some extent). If you're looking for a place to really significantly contribute to a startup's growth, get in touch.

Interested? Chat with us on https://klets.com/klets (no login or signup needed)

(we're not interested in recruiters and intermediaries - please don't get in touch)
