Ask HN: Who is hiring? (September 2013)

We're a technical web agency focused on being a "happy place for nerds" with offices in the Hague and Amsterdam. Currently looking for an all-round developer who can work at either location.

We work on all kinds of stuff, from websites and applications to smartphone apps, games, and our own products. Some of the projects we've been involved with include the new Rijksmuseum website, national transit platform 9292.nl, the Philips Hue lights, and the Staatsloterij. We have a published game, Quento (quento.com) and a product, Handcraft (handcraft.com). We love working with C#, App Engine, and Java, but whatever works for the client works for us. We also host meetups about all kinds of topics, from how best to use ElasticSearch (we're a partner) to Meteor (our website runs on it) and which JS MVC framework to choose.

Our work is primarily technical, so you'll be expected to be able to dive in wherever needed - frontend or backend - and contribute whatever skills you have to our diverse dev teams. Earlier this year we were awarded the "best workplace in the Netherlands" prize by Great Place to Work.

See q42.com for more info and our Dutch blog post about the position: http://q42.nl/blog/post/57695336048/knappe-koppen-gezocht (Dutch fluency not required, but you must be willing to learn)

Interested? Email knappekop@q42.nl. The opening officially closes this week, so be quick :)

FULLTIME in SAN FRANCISCO, CA

ClassDojo is used by over 15mm teachers and students to manage behavior in the classroom, using real time feedback and rewards that can also be shared with parents. We're an edtech startup with funding some of the biggest names in the valley (Jeff Clavier, Ron Conway, General Catalyst, Mitch Kapor...), and we're one of the fastest growing education companies of all time. We're the only non-YC company that Paul Graham has ever invested in. We've built a product that makes a real difference and gets huge engagement with millions of kids, and we're about to take it to the next level, hopefully with you on board. We have a strong team, an extremely comfortable and relaxed environment and great salary + benefits. If you're a strong hacker who wants to use JavaScript to change the world, apply here:

We're particularly looking for:

  * Frontend Engineer  

What's the role?

--------------------

At the core of ClassDojo is a node.JSON API built on node.js which makes use of multiple services and handles hundreds of requests per second. The frontend web application talks to this API, and it's a single page app that uses our own (soon to be open-sourced) JS framework - mojo.js - which combines the best bits of Backbone, Ember and Angular. That means great templating with powerful and efficient data-binding, but plenty of flexibility to build apps quickly. You'll work on this and other awesome tools, and you'll build a lot of user-facing features that go out to millions of kids around the world every day. It's pretty rare to have impact like this, and as much freedom as we'll give you.

Everyone on our team agrees that this is the most exciting phase of the company that we've seen, and we're growing so quickly that we're all very eager to meet and work with you!

--------------------

What skills are we looking for?

--------------------

* This is primarily an engineering role, rather than being design or CSS focused. We'd like you to be really strong on JavaScript fundamentals, up-to-date with modern JS engineering, and familiar with advanced DOM manipulation. * Having said that, some minimal design chops would be cool... * ...but not essential. We do have designers. * A good sense of product and a desire to have a creative role in designing product features is important to us. * You love building things well and building them quickly - like us!

The best way to show this off is to point to things you've built. We'd love to see personal projects which demonstrate the above.

Is this you? Apply here: https://classdojo.wufoo.com/forms/join-classdojo/
