Ask HN: Who is hiring? (September 2016)

Applying to Keen IO (after seeing them on HN) was hands down the worst application process I've experienced in my 10 year career. Despite being personally introduced to the hiring manager at the beginning of the process I was give an unbelievable 'run-around' over the course of many months (I would have an interview, then wait weeks for a response, then have a second interview, got invited for onsite, they didn't follow-up to schedule and ignored my requests to do so). Something is incredibly broken here. Very unresponsive and unprofessional.

Beyond Labs | London, UK | Full Time | Front End Developer & Full Stack Engineer

We’re looking for a front-end javascript developer to join our London-based team and lead the design of Beyond.

--What we do--

Beyond is an enterprise SaaS platform that’s spearheading a new generation of companies - ones that remain agile as they grow. We do this by transforming the way companies plan their numbers - their budgets.

Ultimately, we believe companies do best when employees are empowered to take initiatives, rather than constrained by outdated budgets.

--About the Role - Front End Developer--

For too long, budgeting has meant monstrous spreadsheets or impenetrable business software - unintelligible to all except a few finance professionals. We need you to help us change this.

You will:

- lead the UX/UI development of Beyond, building off the successes (and failures!) of our MVP. You’ll optimise and streamline core workflows, helping to find elegant ways for our users to visualise and edit large datasets.

- develop beautiful and engaging interfaces that appeal to the many different people that use Beyond: from front-line employees to managers, finance professionals and accountants.

- just as importantly, help bring personality and lovability to Beyond.
