Ask HN: Who is hiring? (March 2013)

Join a world-class team: Serious engineering -- solving real-world problems using data analytics, large-scale parallel processing, web spiders, and document analysis pipelines.

Work with awesome technology: Clusters of 1,000+ machines, large neural network learning systems, GPUs, parallel arrays of SSD hardware, and lots more.

We're looking for experience C++ engineers to join our team. If you can write multi-threaded code in your sleep -- call us. If you love STL and Boost, come talk to us. If you enjoy writing performance-optimized code that must run reliably for years without memory leaks or segmentation faults, we want to talk to you. You'll get an opportunity to work on some really interesting projects that have a major impact.

Synapse Product Development (synapse.com) is currently hiring embedded/firmware engineers (and interns). We're a product development consultancy and we work on a variety of nifty projects for clients large and small. We're looking for smart programmers with solid software engineering skills who are quick learners and like to poke around with hardware. You'll want to be very good at C and good at C++, and have used one or both to write drivers at the register access level. Experience with things like arm-none-eabi-gcc, embedded Linux, USB, Zigbee, Bluetooth, robots with human brains, etc... are great.

Synapse is a fun place to spend eight hours a day; we value culture, quality of life, and work on tough problems. Last year we were voted the third best company to work for in Washington State by Seattle Business magazine.

You are a talented, hard working human being who is hungry to do big things. You’re a doer. You’ve got the imagination to design heretofore unseen study experiences, and the experience to see that they get shipped. You’re organized, and it shows.

You maximize utility and minimize effort for users. You’d rather call users “people”. You believe, as we do, that the product experience is the core of the brand.

You’re comfortable working quickly and collaboratively, iterating towards a solution. Your taste exceeds your ability, but only just. You reconcile attention to detail with a broad product vision to deliver delightful, seamless, multi-device experiences for students worldwide. Your work speaks for itself, and when called upon, you can articulately speak for your work.

The idea of a million students relying on a product you dreamt up then designed energizes you. You’re up for changing education, for everybody, forever.

The job:

As Senior Product Designer, you’ll move product from sketching (wireframes and workflows) to shipping (hi-res comps and production-ready assets). You’ll work closely with product managers, developers, writers and researchers.

Must have:

- Work: please include samples, or links.

- 4+ years designing mobile- and web-apps for consumers.

- Strong communication and presentation skills.

- Fluency in Illustrator, Photoshop, & the like.

- Teamwork comes standard.

Nice to have:

- Product copywriting experience.

- HTML and CSS experience.

- Experience with exploratory research and usability testing.

- Bonus skills: video production/editing, animation, illustration.
