Ask HN: Who is hiring? (February 2018)

Promenet, Inc | NYC Onsite work | $50-60k (Junior Engineer)

Is anyone looking for an IT / Security job?

I came from more of a background in software development and found my way into networking. I found huge differences between them. I think they involves two very different mindsets.

Networking is great for people who are very interested in learning how to operate things. They want to get to know how to use things in the world to their advantage and find ways to make them do useful things in concert.

A programmer has to think more about how to get new, undiscovered or previously unimplemented behavior out of a system and do so reliably.

Network engineers need to do that at a large scale as a small aspect - like when a network goes completely down and no one knows why. You have to discover how things are supposed to work, why they're not working, and how to get them to work again - that's support. They also have to be able to design at a large scale and understand pre-built connection templates (i.e. protocols) and follow them. And they need to be responsible for hundreds of customers access to information, utilities, and the business.

We look for engineers with college degrees in sciences and technology. Promenet has 20 years of experience, with focuses in security, networking, systems, consulting, infrastructure managed services, and other high-level IT services. Named CRN Pioneer 250 for MSP 5 years running. Servicing 85% of New York private schools, and many businesses in legal, finance, insurance, and more.

The job entails servicing our clients by getting well acquainted with different networks, systems, and operation to the point of being proficiently able to provide service uptime and repair, knowledgeable and influential technology advice, and ingenuity to make our service offering better.

optile in Munich, Germany (noremote (well, a little bit of remote work is already possible), fulltime) - Java, React.JS, Internal IT Sysadmin

https://www.optile.net/en/company/job-offers/

optile is creating an open payment gateway that solves the pain involved in taking international payments and taking a lot of different payment methods in many different countries. We do this through a REST/JSON API, a well thought-out architecture and intricate knowledge of the payment systems that govern all of our life. We are growing fast and are executing a huge opportunity for the company with a number of big name customers now in the pipeline.

We have a very diverse team (over 20 nationalities) consisting of 50+ people.

I (the person posting this) have just recently taken on the responsibility of CTO and was positively surprised by the culture I already found in the existing team. I am now continuing to foster it. optile is firmly based on mutual respect, hiring smart people and getting out of their way (aka taking responsibility), honest feedback and transparency. Work here is challenging, but also fun and I personally focus on creating a team of happy humans who build great software. We pay competitive wages and have a good track record of providing incentives through equity for all employees. There are free soft drinks, beer, coffee and fruit.

We do have remote positions available in building payment method adapters, as the adapter team is the one that has most experience and the cultural tenets to work remotely, but the core team and the company is still local to Munich. One thing can lead to another, though.

That said, we are looking for: - Java developers of all kinds (junior, senior, you name it). The adapter developer position mentioned above needs more of a "senior" profile. - ReactJS/Redux/ReactNative developers (junior, senior, you name it) - Internal IT Administrator (preferably a generalist with an interest in everything and experience in structuring heterogeneous systems and herding cats) - Quality Assurance Lead (big focus on automation, but also taking a holistic view of the end-to-end product experience)

We are also looking for candidates in "not typically HackerNews" positions. We have openings for working students and in marketing and sales.

Experience with MongoDB, Spring, PostgreSQL, Lodash, D3.js, Vertx, perhaps a little bit of OSGi (yeah, we know, we're moving away from it), a good understanding of cryptography, previous payment experience, risk models and machine learning are all a plus.

If anything of the above sounds good to you, please click the above link and send us your CV :).
