Ask HN: Who Is Hiring? (November 2010 Edition)

Elation EMR - San Francisco (Telecommuting considered for the right fit.)

Seeking a front-end guru to join as an early member of the team. We're building a super client-heavy, data-intensive web app aimed at a huge and profound goal: revolutionizing the delivery of medicine. We're a young energetic team who also happens to have spent decades committed to improving medicine. Our investors include Ron Conway and the founders of Facebook, Asana and Quora.

This position is a front-end whiz's dream. We want you to:

- Own the front-end. Create an experience that makes users forget they're on the web.

- Engineer wicked smart solutions. Among our many challenges are addressing performance requirements of highly demanding users, caching and refreshing data intelligently, on-the-fly rendering, client- and server-side templating, long polling, etc.

- Forget IE exists. We control our users' browsers.

- Use and love HTML5. The latest web technologies are our friends.

- Build a product that deeply touches people's lives. That's what we're here to do.

We use Python+Django, Javascript+jQuery, and whatever else you know and love -- it's early; we're flexible. We're SF-based and well-funded.

If you fit the bill and are excited, or if you don't fit the bill but still feel you could be a tremendous asset to our engineering team, drop us a line at jobs@elationemr.com. Feel free to mention your favorite web products and why you like them!

Mac OS X/iOS Software Test Pilot

Seattle, WA (Sorry, no telecommute/remote work opportunities right now.)

Us: a Seattle software company that's been around since 1989. Back then, we wrote code for NeXTStep; these days, we make highly-regarded productivity applications for Mac OS X & iOS.

You: someone who can make guesses about how a website or application is going to fail, prove that you're right, and then communicate it clearly and effectively to the folks who need to fix it. Ideally, you also have the ability to predict the things about our products that will confuse or dismay a new customer.

As an example of what we do, imagine we have four months to write, test, and ship two applications on a brand-new hardware platform (with no specimens of said hardware in the building) while still updating and maintaining our released products on both platforms. Could you keep up without going totally crazy in the process?

If so, we'd like to hear from you — we're looking to expand our QA department by adding another Software Test Pilot.
