Ask HN: Who is hiring? (October 2016)

DTU Biosustain | Copenhagen Area, Denmark | Onsite | Full-time | VISA Full-stack Web Developer for Synthetic Biology Design Platform With advances in synthetic biology, genomes can now be edited at unprecedented speed and fidelity allowing making multiple changes in the same genome at the same time. This increases the need for computational tools to design cells and communities of cells analogous to the tools used in Computer Aided Design (CAD) of cars, buildings and other man-made objects. The European Commission has awarded 6.3 million Euros to a four-year collaborative project to build a CAD tool for data-driven design of cells and microbial communities. Applications will range from human health to sustainable production of chemicals.

Our web stack currently, in no specific order: AngularJS (soon Angular2), Angular Material, Typescript, Python 3, PostgreSQL, Docker, gRPC & protobuf. The API is written in Python and our scientists write most of their algorithms in Python. We currently use AngularJS for the front-end, however this is not set in stone. As visible on our GitHub org (https://github.com/biosustain), we are very dedicated towards releasing most of our tools as open source software.

We will help with getting a VISA, as well as with administrative issues related to relocation. Our working language is English. We are a very diverse workplace; 70% of our staff have an international background. The salary depends on qualifications and needs to be agreed by your union representative -- so I cannot give an official range -- but a rough personal estimate is 420k-500k DKK.

So if this sparked your interest, come and join a diverse team of scientists and engineers to work on something that matters.

Why all the downvotes for uber? They reached out to me recently and seemed to have a polite recruiter (didn't reply to him yet).

I've dealt with a spectrum of awful-to-fantastic hiring processes and recruiters. I'd do anything to get feedback from those who actually applied to see if they're looking for fits, or just making a boatload of people jump through hoops. Glassdoor seems like the only one, and they a lot of walling/censoring before reviews go up.

The other deal is, a large, large place is going to be able to scale the hires to coincide w/ the amount of applicants who apply, give them attention proportionally, etc.. Some of these places have no realistic ability (or intention) to hire a lot of folks, they just want thousands of resumes and only want to let maybe a tiny tiny amount in.

It'd be great to get a number of "we're hiring 100 front end developers" or "we have human being who will view your resume to see where you can fit in our company", or give you say a PDF to set your expectations of the hiring process, skills tested and the role your position entails.

Would you consider hiring someone for the Senior Backend Engineer position without FP experience? I have many years of Java/PHP/JS/Python etc. and would LOVE to learn Haskell.
