Ask HN: Who is hiring? (June 2016)

Company: Successful edtech startup went public 2 years ago. We are building the future of online graduate education for the world's most prestigious universities. (Yale, etc.)

We are looking for experienced full-stack engineers and hands-on engineering director candidates. Specific technology not super important - we have teams with projects in Python, Node, Clojure, Java and Ruby. We are "lowercase a" agilists, with XP/Lean-flavored people over process culture -- many of our teams do TDD/pairing, etc, but the only dogma is constant learning and improvement.

I wrote about the search here and it's a good place to start if you think you might be interested: https://medium.com/@obie/where-the-hell-are-all-the-great-se...

Amazon's New Product Demand Forecasting team is responsible for one of the most challenging problems in supply chain optimization: predicting sales for products that have no sales history. This is a uniquely creative space in Forecasting requiring our machine learning models to capture both the nuances of the global consumer marketplace as well as customer behavior on Amazon. Our team works closely with research scientists to invent new ways to make use of novel data, solve hard engineering problems around scaling and performance in predicting for tens of millions of products, and iterates quickly in order to stay on the cutting edge.

We're looking for an experienced, data-science-leaning software developer that is comfortable with big data and can:

* Design systems that provide a stable base for innovation in a rapidly changing business

* Improve Forecasting algorithms through data-driven analysis and experimentation in our Scala/Spark environment

* Optimize for scalability and performance of both distributed computations and near-metal C++ code

* Communicate their ideas clearly with all members of a diverse team

If this sounds interesting, I'd love to chat or buy you coffee. Email me (Stefan) at smai@ (amazon.com) with your resume and a brief introduction. (Interview process is 1 phone screen and onsite interview with whiteboard coding and behavioral questions about your experience.)

At Blend, we’re dedicated to improving lending. We’re an enterprise technology company, but our product affects the most important purchase most people will make in their lifetime—their home. For homebuyers, our product means a clear, guided path to a new home. For lenders, it means modern, easy-to-use tools that let employees spend their time helping customers, rather than on repetitive, manual tasks. By aligning and modernizing this archaic industry, we believe everybody wins.

We need someone who’s driven to solve hard problems—the harder the better. We’re motivated by the fact that our product won’t just affect the lives of a few people in the Bay Area—it affects people all over America, not to mention a foundational part of the U.S. economy. Founded in 2012 by former Palantir and Intuit leaders, we’re currently backed by Peter Thiel, Andreessen Horowitz and other prominent investors.
