Ask HN: Who is hiring? (December 2016)

Nava | Washington DC & San Francisco SF | DevOps/Infrastructure/Systems Engineers, Software/Fullstack Engineers, Frontend Engineers | Product and Project Managers | On-site - Full-time | $100k-$160k+ + equity + rad benefits

We're a small team of engineers, designers, and product builders that were brought in to help fix Healthcare.gov in the winter of 2013. Our revamped application is used by millions, converts 35% better, and halves the completion time.

It turns out there’s a lot more to reimagine within government services, which is why we’re partnering with the Department of Veterans Affairs to modernize their appeals system, making millions of veteran’s lives better through the process. Today, the average appeal takes 5 years to process; we can fix this.

It’s surprising how much can be done by a small group of empathetic people with a Silicon Valley mindset, deep technical experience, working closely with dedicated civil servants in government. We’ve started Nava as a public benefit corporation to radically improve how our government serves its people, and we believe that the services our government provides should be clear and reliable. If you feel the same way, we'd love to hear from you at jobs@navahq.com

Hey, a friendly reminder. I'm parsing the thread, all job offers added here are also available on the map on

https://whoishiring.io

Please read the below if you are planning to post here and would like to have your offer looking good on the map.

I've been doing this since August last year, both parsing the thread and adding this comment here. But this time I would like to only slightly improve one thing: the format.

First, I would like to say that I really like that this thread is one of the few places where hard format for jobs isn't required. The format change that I'm asking for is minimal and a lot of people already post their posts in similar or exactly the same format.

What I’d like to ask is for the format of the first line to be like this:

  1) {company} | {job title} | {locations} | {attrs: REMOTE, INTERNS, VISA, company url}
  Google | Software Developer | SF | VISA https://google.com
  DuckDuckGo | Software Developer | Paoli PA | REMOTE, VISA

or

  2) {company} | {job title} | {locations}
  Google | Site Reliability Engineer | London, Zurich, Sydney
  Facebook | Web-developer | London, Zurich

I will be using this regex to test the firstline.

  \s*(?P[^|]+?)\s*\|\s*(?P[^|]+?)\s*\|\s*(?P[^|]+?)\s*(?:\|\s*(?P.+))?$

You can test it in Python or here https://regex101.com/r/relwQD/3 (for match look right). What if you do not comply? Absolutely nothing. I will continue to do my best to parse your job post as it is.

To HN moderators. Apologies for highjacking the thread. I'm getting really positive feedback about what I'm doing here. I just want to improve this one thing.

Feedback welcome.

Learning Equality - https://learningequality.org/ - San Diego, CA -- Onsite | Full-time

# Who we are

We're a nonprofit startup that builds and supports open-source educational software for communities with limited or no access to the Internet. We believe in the transformative power of learning, and are passionate about social justice and breaking down barriers preventing people from reaching their full potential.

We started 4 years ago with KA Lite (https://learningequality.org/ka-lite/), an offline-installable platform bundling Khan Academy content and our own student tracking tools. KA Lite has already been used in over 175 countries and territories.

We're now in the midst of developing a new platform, Kolibri (https://learningequality.org/kolibri/), that will empower users to create, curate, share, and learn from diverse forms of openly licensed content, in both online and offline environments. We're building tools for authoring videos and exercises, an app ecosystem for embedding and distributing HTML5 educational bundles, features for discovering and communicating with other devices peer-to-peer over a local network, interfaces and web-based visualizations for exploring student data, and systems for motivating, engaging, and guiding learners.

# Who you are

You care deeply about making the world a better place, believe in the power of learning, strive to promote equality, and resonate with our statement of core values.

You love to build things, and like to think carefully about how best to serve the needs of a diverse set of users.

# Positions

Frontend Web Developer: You have solid experience with web development using HTML5, JavaScript, modern JS frameworks (we use Vue.js), and CSS with pre-processors. You love building beautiful interfaces and collaborating with the UX team.

Python Developer / DevOps: You have skills and experience working with Python, in a variety of contexts. We use Django for the backend of Kolibri, and also leverage Python for automation of business processes, API/web scraping for pulling in new content, media processing/computer vision, and data analysis/machine learning.

Additional _non-dev_ positions (Implementation/Partnerships and Content Managers) to be posted later this week.

# Benefits

- Salary at the same levels as other core team members

- Retirement plan with matching employer contributions

- Full health care, dental, and vision insurance

- Education fund to support ongoing professional development

- Flexible and generous vacation policy and work schedule

- Well-stocked, bottomless cabinet filled with snacks and Guayaki
