Ask HN: Who is hiring? (July 2013)

We’re a well-funded startup based out of Irvine, CA. Our vision is delivering immersive, wearable, and affordable virtual reality technology to the world. We launched on Kickstarter in August 2012 and now we’re looking to expand the team.

We’re looking for the best and brightest engineering minds passionate about building the next generation platform for virtual reality gaming. As an engineer at Oculus, you’ll have a direct hand in solving the incredible array of challenges around virtual reality and human computer interaction. We’re looking for software, embedded systems, and hardware engineers to build the full hardware and software stack that comprises our product. You can check our careers page for specific positions we have open.

Email us at careers@oculusvr.com with HN in the subject line. Looking forward to hopefully chatting with a few of you soon!

Refinery29 is the cornerstone of fashion, beauty, and shopping for a new generation. In an industry dominated by traditional print publications with lackluster digital offerings, R29 has broken away and created a successful (profitable) all-digital personal style destination. We're expanding our engineering team, and require some talented, experienced individuals to help us improve the process and infrastructure which powers our high traffic website.

Please reach out to me via email: jake.mcgraw@refinery29.com or Twitter: @jakemcgraw if you're interested or have any questions.

* Senior Test Engineer *

We're still in the early phases of a more formal QA process at Refinery29. We know what we want, just not how to get there. Your job is to show us the way, help us implement a rock solid QA process. Here are some loose guidelines we came up with, but as I've indicated earlier, we're open to suggestions on how we should run this.

* Stabilize, expand and automate our testing process and infrastructure. * Lead our software development team in designing testable code, which will primarily be in PHP using PHPUnit. * Design a system for testing client-side functionality, Selenium, PhantomJS, whatever you want, it's up to you. * Design test plans for larger software/architecture projects. * Assist in legacy code documentation and setting documentation standards for future development.

* Senior Devops Engineer *

Over the last 7 months we've made huge improvements to our infrastructure to handle the high volumes of traffic we've received (30 day peak: 550Mb/s). We'd be hiring you as our first in house, dedicated Devops/Systems engineer to help us execute the improvements necessary to handle even larger traffic spikes.

* Design, optimize, monitor and maintain the server infrastructure for production, development, deployment and testing. * Build tools to optimize infrastructure resources for our development team. * Assist in cost projection for server infrastructure. * Manage projects currently being executed by consulting systems team.

Again, please reach out to me via email: jake.mcgraw@refinery29.com or Twitter: @jakemcgraw if you're interested or have any questions.
