META QUESTION, How hard has it been for you to hire? Curious developer seeks more anecdotes to complement pet theories regarding current labour market.

It is extraordinarily difficult to hire in my field. What more can I tell you? (We're always hiring: http://www.matasano.com/careers --- we love talking to devs from HN.)

What if I have no real web-app experience other than what I've taught myself but I do have experience with binary analysis, embedded and kernel in MV? I had a few phone interviews a few months ago and I get the idea that's why I didn't get in, though.

Maybe I'll try again real soon, though! :)

Chicago, IL. Full Time. Remote within Illinois Lead Software Engineer - Ounce of Prevention Fund (Non Profit)

We're looking for a lead software developer to lead up development of our Head Start/Early Head Start web app - the trick is we have an ancient platform that we're looking to replatform, so our "next generation" platform has some flexibility around the actual technology but we're moving to a modern framework.

We're looking for someone that can help us create the new version - we're ripping out the guts of our old web app, replacing most of it with an off the shelf early childhood education app, and building new, user friendly goodness around it based on the needs of our org. We want to work with cool, high performing people, that give a damn about society.

1. Work location can be somewhat flexible (potentially remote most of the time) - but it's easiest for use if they're based in Illinois somewhere. 2. We have a 37.5 hour work week (and typically stick pretty close to that) 3. Pay is competitive (non profit doesn't mean we work for free) 4. This position reports to the CTO and has 2 direct reports, some experience with management of others is a plus

You had phone interviews with us, didn't get an interview, and never found out why? That sucks. You should send me mail (I'd write you but don't know your email address).

This is exactly the kind of thing I want to make sure we never do in our recruiting process.

Now sure where you were looking, but there were several UK/London based jobs posted in last month's thread.

That's 'June 2012': http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4053076 and I don't see any London startups on the list.

No, they did say why, after a bunch of vetting; I phrased it weird, sorry. I think I did OK, but I don't have any web app experience, and I can understand given the small team in MV. Your team did well, although, I'd like to have tried the web-app challenge. They encouraged me to apply again so I think I will this fall.

We are! We are hiring our first employee at Crowdbooster (YC S2010).

We've built the best way for businesses to get fast, actionable data about their social media accounts. Tens of thousands of businesses use us every day, including Fortune 500 companies, advertising agencies, coffee shops, sports teams, rappers, politicians, and more.

Some more things about us:

-We have a legit technical team including two Stanford engineers with backgrounds in machine learning, human-computer interaction, and databases.

-We believe in simplicity, minimalism, and creating things that are a joy to use.

-We're here to help businesses use social media to build real relationships, not spam, and we’ll never compromise on that.

-We're funded by some of the best early-stage investors in the valley, including SV Angel, Charles River Ventures, Y Combinator, and several early investors and employees of Facebook, Twitter, and Slide.

What we'd like to see from you:

-While your peers might describe you as a rockstar, the term embarrasses you. We love rockstars (many of them are Crowdbooster users!), but we've made a conscious decision to have a culture that revolves entirely around our product, not our egos.

-You've wrestled with big data before. Crowdbooster requires storing terabytes of data, extracting insights using statistical learning techniques, and making it available to our users in real-time.

-That said, you like working at every level of the stack, not being pigeonholed as a backend developer.

-You care a lot about the products you ship, and don't need a manager or "product guy" to motivate you to get every detail right.

-You're familiar with several parts of our stack, and willing to learn the rest. We use Python, Django, MySQL, Redis, Memcached, jQuery, Protovis, RabbitMQ, Celery, HAProxy, EC2, git, and more.

-You have projects of your own to show us. It doesn't matter whether it's an open source project, a startup idea, or just a really fun toy project. Just as long as you shipped it.

If this fits you, definitely email us at jobs@crowdbooster.com
