Ask HN: Who is hiring? (February 2017)

EDITED | Engineering Positions | London, UK | Onsite | Full-Time

We’re currently hiring for front-end, back-end, and DevOps Engineers. Our stack is primarily Python & JavaScript, with frameworks like Django/Flask and react.js/d3. We aren’t afraid to integrate new tech and like to keep exploring what’s out there.

We're an established startup, focused on doing important things for retail, the fourth biggest industry in the world, helping them reduce waste and be more efficient. We have a beautiful web app, used everyday by hundreds of people at Topshop, Saks Fifth Avenue, GAP and more.

Our engineering team is a group of smart people from really varied backgrounds. We’re solving diverse and interesting problems on a daily basis, like image analysis, big data visualisation and a load of other fun things that come with having a rapidly growing data set. We love good practices like extensive testing and continuous integration, and enjoy giving back to the community, so open source contributions are highly encouraged.

Our office is large and sociable; people eat lunch together every day and we have drinks and snacks in the office every Friday, as well as team days out and all expenses paid trips abroad. There’s a video on our jobs page of our most recent one: http://edited.com/jobs/

Half of the team has actually found and joined us through “Who’s hiring”, so don't hesitate to get in touch, we're always happy to meet new people!

Private on-demand tutoring for high school kids. You help us build the infrastructure, our tutors teach the kids, the kids get better grades[1], relieve anxiety, and become better humans.

Here's how it works:

Imagine you're a high school kid and you can't do your homework. Take out your phone, snap a pic of the problem, and within 20 seconds a tutor will help you out via chat. You talk to the tutor for however long it takes[2], and by the end of the session you've learned how to solve those kinds of problems. Your life is now better.

Here's where you come in:

We need engineers to help us build the product. It's been just four of us so far and we need help. I've personally built large swathes of the infrastructure, primarily the tutor side, and I need your help. On the immediate, you can help me move the rest of our codebase from Backbone to React. We're halfway there :)

Another imminent project is rebuilding the messaging infrastructure, making student/tutor matching smarter, moving the backend to a microservice model. All the things you'd expect to do in a startup moving from small to bigger.

Why Yup:

We're not just a Silicon Valley startup trying to get big fast and loose. Our goal is to build a product that helps people, has sound unit economics, and generates real revenue, not just users. Our BD branch is finding ways to bring Yup to underprivileged youths whose families couldn't afford it on their own by selling it to schools.

I've worked with many startups before and, honestly, this is the only one that's made me feel really good about what I'm building every day.

If you have questions, I'm on twitter and here as Swizec. If you wanna join us, email the CEO -> nag@yup.com

[1] we've had parents send us really nice emails saying their kid went from a D to a B+.

[2] some of our longest sessions so far have been north of 2 hours.

Geckoboard | Back-end/Front-End Developers | London, UK | VISA, ON SITE (but some WFH is not a problem)

Thousands of businesses use Geckoboard to build TV Dashboards that help drive growth and focus teams, by taking the complexity out of connecting their data and understanding it at a glance. Some of our customers include Airbnb, Slack, Netflix and Skyscanner.

We have a lot of interesting, creative work ahead and are looking for curious problem solvers to reimagine how our customers get their data into Geckoboard. You'll be joining a friendly team with great people in an environment with empowered developers, flexible working conditions, and a focus on skill development.

We are heavy users of Go on the back-end, alongside some Ruby services. On the front-end, we've been using React (and, more recently, Redux) for 2+ years, but a lot of us have learned it on the job so you don't need professional experience with it. If you share our interest in distributed systems, databases, and data visualisation, we have plenty of fun problems for you to work on :)

Here are all our job listings:
