Ask HN: Who is Hiring? (October 2011)

Sociable Labs is building the future of social commerce and we're looking for a few more engineers to help. A passion for learning, communication skills, and intellectual horsepower are more important to us than what you know.

Our product is essentially a more advanced version of facebook's social plugins. See a couple of examples at http://www.backcountry.com/ski ("Ask your friends" section at bottom) and http://www.active.com/running/palo-alto-ca/marsh-madness-5k-... ("Connect with friends" section on the right)

We have a modular JavaScript front end that works with the Facebook platform and makes use of cutting edge technologies like localStorage and CORS (cross-domain ajax). Our back end is Java / Jetty / Postgres on Amazon EC2.

We offer competitive pay, great benefits (including the best PTO policy I've ever seen), and an enjoyable working environment.

More details about the company and the jobs here: http://www.sociablelabs.com/careers.htm

I work on the front-end but feel free to ask me questions about anything. If I don't know, I'll get you to the right person. Reply here or email nathan@[company site].com

We're looking for back end developer who wants to join a small team and have a big impact. We work mainly in the LAMP stack, and offer a competitive salary, benefits, and stock options.

More info is available at http://www.parkwhiz.com/about/jobs/backend-developer/

We have a great mix of the startup atmosphere and the stability and benefits of a large enterprise. If working with closures and prototypes is second nature to you, and you get excited about tools like coffeescript, backbone.js, scss, websockets, etc...then we would love to talk to you. Java experience on the back-end is a huge plus, and we also have several Java-centric positions on our API and middleware teams.

Send the resume and/or any sample work to stanislav dot mitranic at nimsoft dot com.

P.S. H1B welcome.
