Ask HN: Who is hiring? (April 2016)

Gambit Research Ltd (http://gambitresearch.com) | London, UK | ONSITE | VISA | Full time

At Gambit we research and manage automated sports betting algorithms on behalf of our clients. Their algorithms run on our proprietary execution platform which interfaces with a large variety of bookmakers and exchanges, enabling access to the best prices and massive liquidity.

Our distributed, concurrent system has a core written in Erlang, which interacts with a wide variety of Python processes across the rest of the business. Some of the other technologies we use are: Linux (Ubuntu, CentOS), Docker, Ansible, C, C++, Julia, R, Go, JavaScript, AngularJS, Django, PostgreSQL, Redis, Apache Spark, Apache Kafka, RabbitMQ, Celery, Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana, Graphite, Sentry, Git, GitLab.

We have a very flat hierarchy and an emphasis on employee freedom. We encourage our team to work on projects that interest them, as we believe people are happiest and most productive when intellectually stimulated. You don't need to be interested in sports or betting.

We're actively hiring for the following positions:

  - Software developer
  - Data engineer
  - DevOps engineer
  - Linux systems administrator

SiteDocs is hiring junior and senior programmers to join our REMOTE team, working on web and mobile applications for the construction industry. (SiteDocs headquarters are near Vancouver, but our dev team is spread throughout Canada and North America.)

We're a growing B2B start-up with dozens of employees, thousands of users, and real revenue. Our mobile applications are built with Xamarin, and our web app is built with React, but we don't necessarily care if you've worked with either before as long as you're a good programmer who's interested in (and reasonably good at) learning new things.

A job at SiteDocs means:

* Being responsible for your own piece of the product. We're a relatively small team, and our product is relatively young, so the features and components you build will have a meaningful impact on our users' experiences.

* The opportunity to teach (for senior developers) and to learn (for junior developers). Our company values continuous learning, and as a dev team we are more than happy to hire and train programmers right out of university (or self taught, etc).

* Market salary. However, we're a Canadian company and our dollar is not doing very well these days, so it is currently difficult for us to pay in markets that demand more than $100k USD. I know that's a completely reasonable salary, but we're just not there at the moment and don't want to waste your time :) As a remote team, it is more feasible for us to hire people in low cost-of-living areas and paying them slightly above-market for their location.

If you'd like to talk, please email dave.noel@sitedocs.com with "HN Hiring" in the subject line.

MyDoc, https://my-doc.com | Singapore, ONSITE, VISA | Android, iOS, ReactJS

MyDoc is a healthcare communications startup – providing doctors, patients and businesses with the opportunity to manage their healthcare systems reliably and efficiently. We will be launching a new platform in the next few weeks, and are looking for several new developers to join our engineering team.

Our ideal candidate has experience building modern front-end apps with ReactJS, Android, or iOS. She cares deeply about UI/UX, and is motivated to learn new technologies and to reflect on best practices. As a front-end developer you would be working on a well-designed, modern chat app for the healtcare industry.

At MyDoc we use ReactJS, Java, Objective-C, Swift, Clojure, PHP/Laravel, MySQL, and RabbitMQ. If you have years of experience with all of these then that would be a plus, but we'll also happily hire developers who have a sound theoretic background and want to broaden their horizons.

If this sounds interesting, send me your résumé or CV. You can find my email address in my HN profile.
