Ask HN: Who is hiring? (July 2016)

Civis is a 3 year old, quickly growing, Chicago-based technology company that helps organizations utilize data science to make better decisions. We build software products that empower organizations to understand their data at the individual level and put it to work.

Our roots are in politics and campaigns, but we now also work with non-profits, healthcare and education groups, the public sector, and across the media landscape.

We've had some recent press in Wired (http://bit.ly/1tdw4Uu) and the WSJ (http://on.wsj.com/2913XOx).

We are hiring for software engineers and data scientists of all levels and multiple disciplines, including a lead data engineer, full-stack web-developers, natural language processing experts, and more.

What's so great about working at Civis Analytics?

Your work will make the world a better place. Don’t just experience the thrill of solving interesting problems-- have the satisfaction of knowing that your work makes a difference in the world.

You will learn. Our engineers and data scientists are the best and brightest in their fields, and are eager to teach and learn from you.

Your work will be diverse. Every day we're learning and working on new, cutting edge problems at the intersection of technology, data science, and practical application.

Your voice can change the direction of a project. We strongly encourage our staff to participate in the brainstorming and prioritization process. We don't want people that mindlessly program. We want your perspective and experience.

We're smart, fun, and a little bit weird. Does this sound like you?

That was not the intended meaning. I was trying to convey that any background, industrial or academic, regardless of cultural norms about those backgrounds, are welcome.

Also, it rhymed and I like rhymes.

I've done work in PHP. Also in Ruby, Java, Python, Golang, PL/SQL and I forget the rest.

I also have a fancy computer science degree. Its main use is to make my apartment look a little prettier, and to qualify me for an E3 visa.

The point is that it really doesn't matter that much. If you have some nous and some experience and we can get along, that's the fit we want.

We’re a casual, seven-person software development team based in Orange County, CA (south of Los Angeles). We provide many large apparel brands with intuitive and efficient sales workflows, enabling sales representatives to place bulk orders for brick and mortar stores (i.e. how O’Neill ends up in Tilly’s or how Armada ends up on Backcountry). Our stack includes JavaScript (ES6), TypeScript, C#, ASP.NET, SQL Server, memcached, MongoDB, React.js, and mobx (http://stackshare.io/repspark/repspark).

We are looking for talented engineers who have strong skills in application-level TypeScript/JavaScript. This includes engineers with experience applying design patterns to their code (Module, Sandbox, etc.), implementing modularization, writing unit tests, and optimizing performance.

We think it’s especially awesome if you have experience with modern JavaScript libraries, such as Backbone.js, React.js, Angular.js, Ember.js, Polymer.js, etc. You will work in a highly collaborative, cross-functional, and Agile team and may take a lead role on various software components.

We’re also big on fun. It’s not uncommon to spontaneously jump into a table tennis match. Plus, every Friday we eat and drink together.

Please email hn@repspark.com with applications or questions. We'd love to hear from you!
