Ask HN: Who is hiring? (April 2019)

Narrative I/O | Scala Backend Engineer, Angular Frontend Engineer| New York, NY | Full-time | ONSITE, REMOTE | http://narrative.io/

Narrative is building the first global data marketplace. It has often been said that data is the new currency. Unfortunately, maximizing the value of data is often easier said than done. On one side, transacting via individual point to point integrations carries a lot of overhead in both business development and technical integration efforts. On the other, going through big aggregators introduces opacity in the pricing and provenance of the data. At Narrative, we help our customers get value from their data by building a central auction platform to reduce the friction and tooling to increase the transparency in this process.

We are a small, early stage team looking for great developers who want to jump in and take major systems and user-facing features from design to launch. Here's where we are now:

- We are operating in Amazon Web Services. Our services are mainly deployed on EC2 provisioned with Terraform.

- We also heavily use other technology on AWS such as DynamoDB, S3, and RDS.

- Our backend includes a data ingestion web service with supporting Kinesis consumers, along with a growing array of Spark projects. It’s written mostly in Scala, with a smattering of Python for lambda functions.

- We sit somewhere in the middle of the “Scala as a worse Haskell” and “Scala as a better Java” spectrum. We love functional programming and we do make use of libraries like cats, but at the same time we heavily favor core language features and have no intention of rewriting everything using Free Monads.

- Our frontend is written in Typescript with Angular2 and a supporting API running on Node, and is deployed and monitored using much the same supporting tech as the backend.

- Other services we use include: GitHub, CircleCI, DataDog.

Walmart Labs (https://www.walmartlabs.com) | Carlsbad, CA | FrontEnd Tools Engineer | Full Time | Onsite I've been a developer for quite some time, and professionally for over 12 years. Like many of you, I've been frustrated with the software development process and the manual toil we have around that process - we want to solve problems in software, not in the way we write, test and deploy it!

That's why I'm excited by what my team at Walmart Labs does - the Developer Experience Tools team exists to create an amazing experience for the developer both within the Walmart Organization and outside with our Open Source contributions (see: http://testarmada.io/).

We're hiring right now, for a Staff level engineer to work on a set of automated tools to make measuring Client Performance of web and native mobile applications a breeze for developers.

We use javascript, nodejs, reactjs, redux and graphql heavily, but we're very much of the opinion that you should use the right tool for the job so there are no unnecessary limitations.

Our Carlsbad office is AWESOME, and the location - reasonably close to San Diego, right next to the ocean - is pretty fantastic. The office is a new location, a big upgrade on the previous location, freshly opened in October with onsite gym, and a short walk to the beach.

If you’d like to find out more or just chat about the role, message me here - or you can apply here: https://walmart.rolepoint.com/?shorturl=LawD5#job/ahBzfnJvbG...

Would be amazing to speak to folks who want to find cool ways to take all the hassle out of developing software. I don't care if you have a degree or not.

You'd be joining a great team with some excellent fellow engineers. No recruiters please, No agencies. Please reach out if you are interested in the role for yourself!

QuotaPath | Backend, Frontend or Full-stack Engineer | Philadelphia, PA or Austin, TX | $80K to $160K DOE | Full-Time | On-Site | https://www.quotapath.com/careers/ Happy new year, y’all! Sales compensation plans can be shockingly complex. Too often, salespeople are forced to use unfriendly accounting software or to pass around buggy Excel spreadsheets. At QuotaPath, we’re solving this problem in a new way by creating a platform that’s built for salespeople, not accountants. Our business model is unique, both consumer-facing and B2B (“B2BC”; think Slack). Good UX and beautiful design are at the core of our process. The demand for a product like this is intense and we’re working as hard as we can to deliver features to eager users. We’re looking for engineers to help us accelerate our development. If you’re interested in having a huge impact on a small team, this is a great opportunity. We’re well-funded, but we’re still only 9 people: 4 engineers, 1 designer and 4 others. I’m one of those 4 engineers, and I’m also the technical co-founder. Please ask me questions if you have any!

Our stack is Python + Django on the backend, TypeScript + React on the frontend, but we’re more interested in working with people who are smart and capable than people from any particular background. If you have strong opinions about using different tech, we’ll hear you. Like most startups, we’re built on lots of open source tech and we plan on giving back. We value building a culture of inclusion and transparency. We care about diversity and hope you do too.

Feel free to reach out to me directly: eric at quotapath dot com
