Ask HN: Who is hiring? (June 2016)

I've looked at the Junior Developer position, not sure if it's me but the requirements are quite... something. http://www.pursuant.com/about-us/careers/junior-software-dev...

- Effectively manages deadlines and deliverables - Accurately estimates timelines for projects - Write clear, comprehensive test cases for QA - 5+ years working with C based language, PHP preferred (plausible)

I'm not sure how a junior would accurately estimate timelines, but it's really off-putting looking, plus comparing it to the senior one doesn't make it any better, seems the same thing with two or three additional requirements.

Hightower is a collaboration platform for owners of commercial real estate. We're replacing clunky Excel sheets and email workflows with a beautiful and purpose-designed technology platform. Since our founding in April 2013, we've grown from a 3 to 90 person team, from a windowless WeWork conference room to eight offices in three countries, and today power leasing at many landmarks buildings across the US and Europe.

Our of our earliest investors wrote that commercial real estate is like "a lost tribe in the Amazon". Although it's not an especially charitable characterization, it describes well the scale of the opportunity. We're essentially rebuilding the technology platform for a 13 trillion dollar global asset class. There's a lot of roadmap yet to build :)

We're organized as small, cross-discipline collaborative teams which fosters high-velocity, high-quality development and tons of customer empathy. Trust me, our customers need you :) I'm focused on recruiting full stack developers to our team (our stack being AngularJS and Rails) and building new competencies in data science and DevOps.

Drop me a line if you're interested in learning more about how we work, and what happened when a technology startup met a giant industry still playing catch up with this whole "Internet" thing :)
