Ask HN: Who is hiring? (March 2016)

New York, NY | Good Uncle | Full Stack Javascript Engineer | Full Time Onsite

We’re looking for a full-stack Javascript engineer to help us build out mobile, web, and backend applications in Js. We believe in:

* ES6

* BDD

* Scrum

* CI/CD

* Documenting all the things.

* Open-sourcing as much as possible.

* Under-promising and over-delivering.

As a Js engineer, you’ll be working up and down the stack. Front-end single-page-applications in Angular, backend microservices in Node.js, and mobile apps using React Native. We need someone who is comfortable in Javascript regardless of the context. Experience in particular frameworks is not required; but a desire to learn quickly on the job is!

Here's the full job description: https://goo.gl/DKgM8F

We are NeoSmart Technologies (based in Chicago, IL) - as we like to bill ourselves, one of few startups making money selling real software and solving real problems. We develop and sell high-quality software solutions to consumers and businesses, solving tricky problems in (largely) niche domains elegantly and effectively.

We are currently looking for a number of business-minded individuals, developers, writers, and more to help us take everything to the next level.

* AdWords (and/or other online advertising) expert? We've heard that ads are a dying business, but we don't buy it. If you know how to craft the right AdWords ads and bid for the right spots to drive good customers to a software business in the backup/recovery sector, look no further. Our developers and engineers have done their best but have ultimately failed to come up with an ad strategy on Google/Facebook/twitter that doesn't cost us an order of magnitude more than what it brings in. We admit failure, but we're not giving up. If you have experience in this field, please get in touch! We're selling real products that solve real problems and bring in real money (while saving our customers a ton in the process), but we need your help to make it happen!

* Technical/documentation writers with experience in Windows and preferably also Linux/BSD that know their way around virtual machines - please get in touch! We want to expand our user manuals and our documentation for our technical support staff with state-of-the-art and up-to-date documentation. Help us make our users and our staff happy, and find potential for improvements while you're at it.

* Are you a tech-savvy creative writer, who loves to experiment with software and explore new things? We are looking for writers and bloggers to expand our collection of guides, tutorials, and reviews! Windows and Mac experts are welcome; we are also highly-interested in doing new things in new and novel ways so if you have a penchant for something special (say, video reviews), introduce yourself. Experience with beta software and the courage to brave new versions of operating systems and experiment with the latest and greatest technology is a must. If this is you, please get in touch - we want to talk!

* IT experts with a knack for writing - we want to expand our online knowledgeable with more issues, better solutions, clearer instructions, and proper, vetted knowledge. Do you love researching? Have a penchant for QA work but want to apply it in novel and interesting ways? Help us document gotchas and find real (not folklore/he-said-she-said) fixes for Windows, Mac, and Linux errors to help make solving these problems easier for everyone out there.

You probably have an idea of what we do from the few paragraphs above. Here's the thing: we're flexible! Do you see an opportunity to do something different that we might love? Don't hesitate to get in touch, we're open-minded and we're hiring! We're accepting both freelancers, part-time remote employees, and full-time remote employees alike.

Hey there! Allow us to introduce ourselves. We are Expensify and we do "expense reports that don't suck!" (Google "expensify" to read more.) We're getting crushed under an ever-growing pile of super awesome work, and I need one bright soul to help us dig our way out. I can guarantee you fun, an amazing opportunity to learn, and the siren's call of distant riches. But only if you are all of the following:

- An incredibly hard worker, even when it's not so fun. There is a ton of work to do, and a lot of it downright sucks. After all — we do the sucky work so our customers won't need to. I need you to buck up and grind through server logs, user emails, source code, and bug reports, without complaint or supervision, and come back asking for more.

- A cool person to be with. Not a crazy party animal, just someone we can trust, rely upon, hang out with, bounce ideas off of, and generally interact with in a positive way, both personally and professionally. In fact, this is one of the most stringent requirements we have: would you be fun to hang out with day and night on some remote, exotic beach? This isn't a rhetorical question, either: every year we take the company overseas for a month and work incredibly hard while having a ton of fun. We've done Cambodia, Thailand, Mexico, India, Turkey, Croatia, Portugal and the Philippines. Where do you want to go next?

- Super talented, in a general way. We're going to throw a ton of work at you of every possible sort, and you need that magic skill of being able to figure it out even if you have no idea where to start. On any given day you might bounce between super low-level coding, super high-level technical support, marketing-driven data-mining, updating our user documentation, inventing/designing/building some new feature, etc. This is not a code monkey job — you're going to be a full participant in the process, and you need to bring your own unique blend of skills to the table.

- Specifically talented in a programming way (or if not, shoot as an email anyways!). You can instantly visualize solutions to problems big and small. Your code is always clean, well commented, has good nomenclature and indentation. You can switch on a dime between C++, PHP, Bash, Cron, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, Dwoo, SQL — not because you know them all, but because you're the sort of person who can just pick it up and figure it out. If you're this sort of person, you'll know what I mean. If not, then this position isn't for you. And there are a bunch more, but odds are if you got this far, nothing I can do would stop you from applying. That's a problem because while I know you are awesome, it's actually really hard and time consuming to find you in the midst of the literally hundreds of other applications I get from everyone else. So this is where I'm going to ask my first favor: can you make it really easy and obvious how great you are, so I don't accidentally overlook you?

There are probably many ways to do that. But the easiest way to do that is to check out we.are.expensify.com and send in an application(which you can find at http://we.are.expensify.com/apply). We are excited to hear from you!
