Ask HN: Who is hiring? (March 2019)

Sorry for the vague description but I can tell you more about the product we're building when you apply. Hopefully I can attract you in a sufficient way with our tech stack (see below) and some keywords (blockchain, DLT, bitcoin, ethereum, mimblewimble/grin, smart contracts, DAI, atomic swaps, etc).

Job positions:

- Build engineer: you are a Linux-er who has some past experience building deb or rpm packages, are excited about reproducible builds, and are willing to learn (if you don't already know) new things such as snap or flatpak. gitlabCI and/or AzureDevOps is a plus. (Might do some DevOps work after we come out of stealth mode as well.)

- Desktop developer: you cringe at the idea of "Electron apps", because you think native frameworks like QT or gtk+ give much power and maintainability (plus, performance aside, javascript is a joke in any other aspect too). But you also understand why garbage-collected languages are safer & more productive than low-level ones, and there are many of these much more decent than JS. (gtk is preferred for this position at the moment; or someone willing to switch)

- Rust/blockchain developer: experience in Rust, or smart contracts (especially EVM or Ivy) is a must. Desirable to have experience writing bindings or familiriaty with zero knowledge proofs.

Important perk for all positions: all the code/scripts you'll write will be opensource, at least for the first 5-6months.

PS: Abstain from applying if you have/expect a managerial/lead role. We need manpower, not decision makers. (That doesn't mean you won't make decisions, just that we won't pay you to solely make decisions.)

Hiring Data Scientists, System Administrators, Backend Tinkerers and Frontend Wizards into our beautiful, freshly opened Paris office and in Berlin!

With us, you'll build something people love, from scratch. We have to be truly Agile and deliver in quick, little iterations. We also can't afford unstable code or unreliable systems. We take Software Crafting and Site Reliability Engineering very seriously. You will plan and grow software and systems as if it’s you own company. Your time at an early-stage startup like us will be a unique opportunity to grow Engineering/Ops skills and have fun at the same time.

What you bring to the battlefield:

If backend is your home, you could help us out with systems that are running PHP solutions, or implement new projects in Python or JAVA.

If you feel comfortable solving frontend and usability problems and know your way around any modern JavaScript-based framweork like Vue, Angular or React, please tell us what you love to do. We have a few solutions in the roadmap and don't have a tech stack set in stone.

If data and analytics is your thing, we are hugre friends of PostgreSQL. We love relational databases, and you should too.

If you love Linux systems and server just like we do (We use Arch on the Servers btw), help us design and implement new features and grow infrastructure. Research and coach us about how to improve the CI/CD pipeline (GitLab, Google Cloud, AWS). Deploying on a Friday night and actually enjoying the weekend is our end-game.

Write me, I'll reply to all messages: artjom@sompani.com

Demand Engineering optimizes Netflix’s availability, latency, and cost by shaping resource demand for cloud services through steering traffic and scaling systems. We proactively optimize for user experience and reactively mitigate incidents through regional evacuation. We have a lot of fun problems to solve, a scale that makes them challenging, and a culture that gives us the freedom to pursue what is best.

Looking for people who want to do their best work solving hard problems with great colleagues. Our team has a dedication to inclusion and regularly devotes time to developing our awareness and skills in this area. If you love to code and have a background in infra, please apply!
