Ask HN: Who is hiring? (May 2013)

Are you a great software engineer who is looking for a job in New York City? TheLadders is hiring.

http://www.theladders.com

At TheLadders we help match the right people to the right job; we can't do that without the right software, and we can't build the right software without the right people. We hire engineers who demonstrate an ability to work well on a team, a desire to hone their skills, and the expertise to contribute to our success. As a engineer you'll participate in the entire product lifecycle by designing, implementing, and maintaining the systems that keep our business running. While we're primarily a Java/Clustrix shop, we have projects in place or in the pipeline based on Storm, Elastic Search, Scala, Erlang, backbone.js, Couchbase, Riak CS, Datomic, Riemann, Sass/Compass, and iOS.

We are committed to taking care of our engineers. We offer competitive pay, comprehensive benefits, and unlimited vacations. We also want to help our engineers grow. Inside the office you'll see this in things like our onboarding process (http://dev.theladders.com/2013/03/theladders-on-boarding-a-r...), code reviews, technical discussions, and our developer blog (http://dev.theladders.com). Outside of the office it will take the form of conferences and training programs, paid for by the company.

If you would like to learn more, please get in touch by emailing me at aturley@theladders.com.

Webs - DC (Silver Spring area)

Webs is the rarest of all birds: an actual consumer web company in DC. We don't do contracting, work for the government, or apply for grants. We sell a product to real people that makes them happy and helps them make money.

Webs helps small and micro businesses get online with our in-browser web site builder and Facebook engagement tools. We do the hard technical work so that our customers can easily and beautifully build a site, improve their SEO, increase their site stats, and sell their products online.

We're always looking for excellent developers, whether you're front-end, back-end, or full-stack. You'll get to work with other smart people, have input into the product, contribute to open source, and enjoy our hackathons.

Our front-end is a great new architecture with Backbone, Less, RequireJS, and all the other new hotness. Plus our main product (a WYSIWYG website builder) is interactive enough to actually need these things to provide customer value. Our back-end is a mix of Java, Groovy, Rails and Node, with Oracle and Mongo holding the data.

We have a lot of fun projects coming up. If you're interested, feel free to email me at adam@webs.com and we can see if there's a good fit.

I work at MHS also, and FWIW we have created products in the past and also have a couple new products in the pipeline. We will probably never be a pure products company - but we think crafting our own products a really great way for us to flex our creative muscles and learn new things.

We're surrounded by amazing talent as we currently reside in the heart of New York City.

As a software engineer on a small team, you'll touch on every aspect of the technology related to the company. It’s a broad job description and we’re looking for someone who loves being part of a fast-paced, constantly evolving work environment where your opinions and decisions will seriously affect our technical direction. We’re looking for a technology generalist with interest in specializing as necessary - It's more important that you love learning and can adopt new languages/frameworks/APIs very quickly.

There are few companies poised to actually make an impact on people's lives, but Aidin is one of them. Join a team of people committed to leave a lasting impression on a part of healthcare that one day, we too will rely on.
