Ask HN: Who is Hiring? (May 2011)

Hiring for two positions: A front-end Javascript/CSS specialist, and for smart and versatile software engineer generalists comfortable working in many languages (today primarily Rails)

About AppFolio: AppFolio is the fastest growing provider of online property management software. Our company was founded by a team of technology leaders with many years of experience developing Software-as-a-Service applications (previously created the GoToMyPC and GoToMeeting family of SaaS applications). We believe that a small group of passionate people can deliver extraordinary results. We believe in focus and know we can only do a few things really, really well. Our company is experienced, well-funded and built to last.

About the front-end specialist position: You are someone who paints in structured DOMs and succinct CSS and who can appreciate the beauty of well engineered unobtrusive Javascript. You will work directly with our engineering team to build out user interfaces that are used millions of times each month and help to make people's lives a little bit better.

We are looking for people who are expert with: HTML 5, CSS 3, Javascript (and libraries like jQuery and Prototype), AJAX, Cross-browser testing of all the above, Firebug and related web development tools. If you have one or more of the skills below, even better: Experience with Ext JS, Experience with Ruby on Rails templates (ERB, HAML, etc), Experience with SASS

About the Software Engineer positions: AppFolio software engineers work to build scalable, robust and easy to use solutions to complex business problems. Delivering intuitive and responsive applications over the web requires us to solve both difficult engineering and product design problems.

AppFolio wants creative and independent engineers who are comfortable with a high degree of autonomy and an agile, collaborative work environment. If you are a smart, versatile software engineer with a desire to work with the following technologies, we'd love to hear from you:

Ruby on Rails, MySQL, Javascript/AJAX/jQuery, HTML/CSS, iPhone (iOS) and Android development, SOA/REST/JSON/XML, Apache Solr/Lucene search technology

To apply, please submit your resume to tech.jobs@appfolio.com.

This is for #4 in the company. We're well-funded with significant revenue.

We're writing a framework to make cross-platform app development simple, like jQuery does for web apps. Currently in private beta for browser add-ons and mobile apps.

What do we do? Yammer helps turn the mayhem of the corporate world into return-on-investment unicorns and leveraged-employee-engagement butterflies.

We are a medium sized start-up that is battling several big enterprise software companies in this space. So yes, our target customers are in the enterprise space but we are turning this space upside down with our viral approach and how we build solutions for the user (which doesn’t include an army of salesmen). We are solving consumer type problems but also monetize like enterprise software. (i.e. real revenues with fewer users)

What's in it for you? - Amazing group of smart engineers to work with. (Sounds cliche, but we really do have smart people here :D) - Ability to have influence without authority. Yammer is a product-focused and user-focused organization. Everything we do revolves around that. - We hack in Ruby/Rails, Scala/Java, Javascript/JQuery/Node.js/Adobe AIR, Obj-C for iOS, and some MSFT stuff for Sharepoint I don't know too much about. You'll probably find something you want to work on. - Good catered lunch and dinner daily, with a 3PM snack cart. (Really.) - Fancy Apple hardware of your choice (you can have a PC if you really want one.) - Our engineers can outdrink anyone. - Top of the market compensation. - Seriously, we rock.

We're a young entrepreneurial company that bootstrapped its way from its founder bedroom to a 150-strong company with very healthy profits in 6 years without any external capital. We are behind uswitch.com, getinvisiblehand.com, omio.com, justcages.co.uk, petvillas.co.uk, forward3d.co.uk etc. You can take a look at who we are and what we do at http://www.forwardtechnology.co.uk.

We have been doubling our revenues every single year (up to £118m in 2010) and plan to continue to do it as long as possible. So, we need great people!

We're looking for great developers (and many other roles too) to work on a variety of exciting online projects. We use Clojure, Ruby, Hadoop, Node.js, Sinatra etc.

Above all we're looking for smart, ambitious, entrepreneurial people. Full job spec is here: http://www.forward.co.uk/careers or here: http://www.forwardtechnology.co.uk/

And it's fun to work here: you choose the hardware you want, you buy the books you need, the hours are flexible, no dress code, the people are reasonable and the entertainment budget is generous: for example the entire company hangs out in Las Vegas night clubs and casinos for 4 days every December, not to mention other trips.

To find out more email me at evgeny.shadchnev@forward.co.uk with your CV.

p.s. sorry, all our devs are on-site, we don't hire remote devs. Also, given the recent changes to the immigration laws in the UK, it will be very challenging (maybe even impossible) for us to arrange a visa unless you're an EU national or already have a work permit.
