Ask HN: Who is hiring? (February 2016)

Teach me Python/Flask or some Go. I'm a business guy that wants to automate tasks or build custom website back-ends instead of using over-designed systems.

We will hack on (I type/you guide) on a couple small websites. Goal is to cover the basics but with a real project.

Full-time, relocation to Amsterdam, (H1B or its dutch equivalent anyway) is taken care of by the company.

I work at Booking.com, which is a world leader in travel accommodations, as a backend developer. I have only positive things to say about working here. The people are intelligent and helpful, a lot of interesting problems to solve and the work hours are unbelievably sane. The company is strongly data driven and very dynamic, which was one of its biggest charms for me. Amsterdam is not a bad place to be either :) The Dutch government also gives a huge tax break through the 30% ruling to non-dutch people.

The work environment is very international and everybody speaks fluent English. The relocation process is also very finely tuned.They take care of you from the moment you get an offer to the point you have set up your house in Amsterdam. Several people have reached out to me from these threads and have been flown to Amsterdam for interviews. Around 10 people have been given offers and more are in the middle of the interview process.

If you have any other questions about the company or the hiring process or you would like me to refer you, please feel free to send me an email at siddharthsarda01 at gmail.com (Email also in my profile at Hacker news).

To have an idea of the kind of problems being solved here, you can also look at our dev blog: http://blog.booking.com/

Developing software appeals to those who love to solve puzzles and apply their brain power -- and also to those, in our experience, who like working from home in their pyjamas. If you're looking to join a forward-thinking industry with a stable outlook (databases-as-a-service), we have a tremendous challenge for you and a terrific team willing and able to support you through it.

Here are a few things that's great about our team:

* Work from anywhere! As long as you're legally able to work in the United States, Canada, or the United Kingdom.

* Self-managing, open culture. Choose your projects. We're deadline averse and quality focused.

* Ruby/Go.

* Fantastic salary and benefits - MacBook Pro.

* Join a thriving, respectful and family-like international team.

* Fair and objective hiring. Participate in 'blind-hiring'.

Our hiring process is nifty. We request a work-sample upfront that closely resembles the work you'd be doing within your role. Once you submit, your answers are anonymized then graded by 3 different people following pre-defined criteria.

We want to know, objectively, who is going to both enjoy and crush the work. We have three positions open for candidates:

* Platform Engineer (More back-end)

* Application Developer (More front-end)

* Technical Content Creator ('Developer Advocacy' type of role)

For the full postings checkout https://compose.io/jobs or email jobs+hn@compose.io with a quick tale about a database you loved, or didn't love and which role intrigues you.

If you have any questions, we'll gladly answer whatever you'd like. Everyone gets a personal response and a fair, respectful 'go' at the process.
