Ask HN: Who is hiring? (October 2013)

Codified http://www.codified.co - Toronto, ON & Montreal, QC

We're one of the fastest growing startups in Canada, and we're still in private beta!

We're building a brand new type of social marketplace and have significant traction and engagement. We're currently seeing ~80mm page views/month and 34% daily actives across 3 platforms (web, iOS, Android). In case you're not familiar with metrics, these are insane numbers. CEO has successfully built/sold startups in the past. We're also VC funded.

Our team consists of 14, mostly technical, guys and gals. We have offices in Toronto and Montreal.

We only hire extremely talented, smart, nice people we'd want to hang out with. Our team of engineers is unanimous: this is the best, most talented team they've ever worked with. And we want to keep improving it!

These are the key positions we're looking to fill right now:

* Senior Android Engineer - Our Android app is still new and constantly growing in popularity. * Intermediate/Senior iOS engineer - Half our traffic comes from iOS! * Interactive Designer (UI/UX designer) - looking for someone who can design fun and catchy stuff rather than corporate and boring. Everything design/branding-wise needs to be done. We're running on Bootstrap right now and we're not so proud of it. ;-)

These positions are open in either Toronto or Montreal. We'd love to chat with you to see if there's a fit. Please reach out by email at jobs@codified.co .

Thanks!

BitNami - http://bitnami.com - San Francisco, CA

Global Marketing Director

BitNami is reinventing the software application experience. Our solution allows users to launch and run popular server applications and development stacks in the cloud and anywhere else just with one click. The simple elegance of our approach has won us fans all across the world. Mostly by word of mouth, BitNami has grown to support over 1 million downloads each and every month. We have also become the largest source of applications for the leading cloud marketplaces including Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and VMware.

While we have made great progress as a company and a brand, the journey is just beginning. Our goal is to have every developer, systems administrator and business user demand BitNami each and every time they need to deploy their applications. To accomplish this, we must evolve and permeate our brand, generate even more awareness across our target audiences, expand our partnerships with software vendors and deliver the industry’s best user experience. If this sounds as exciting to you as it is to us, then please consider hopping on the BitNami wave.

We’re looking for a marketing visionary that brings new ideas to the table and the ability to lead and grow a marketing team as the company grows; yet somebody that isn’t afraid to roll up their sleeves to get real work done. We need someone that is comfortable wearing many different hats. Marketing is extremely important to us and we need to find a leader that combines solid experience and passion with the work ethic and motor needed to thrive in a fast-paced startup environment.

Primary Responsibilities include:

Maintain the BitNami web properties and identify opportunities for improving the conversion rate from web visitors to BitNami users. Closely monitor key metrics associated with the customer acquisition process to identify bottlenecks and areas of opportunity. Identify and manage awareness generation activities spanning SEO, social media, press & analyst relations and other activities. Define and execute outbound marketing campaigns as necessary to further drive adoption of BitNami solutions. Engage with software vendor and cloud provider partners to maximize value for each relationship. Identify and track key industry events and coordinate sponsorships and conference booths/activities. Generate thought-provoking and useful content as necessary to support above activities.

You should have at least 5-10 years of marketing experience in the software industry, with a good understanding of each of the areas of responsibility. We will give strong preference to candidates that can work from our corporate office on Mission Street in San Francisco.

Compensation includes a generous equity stake, six-figure base salary, excellent benefits and a number of high-growth company perks.

Interviewstreet (http://www.interviewstreet.com) - Mountain View & Bangalore, part of YC S2011.

Interviewstreet's recruit product helps companies hire programmers using coding challenges. A ton of top technology companies like Facebook, Amazon, Adobe, Walmart-Labs, Evernote, Box, Quora and many more are our customers and it has proved to be insanely effective (saving ~50-60 hours for every developer hired)

We are a team of 28, well-funded by top-tier investors (YC, Khosla Ventures, Jawed Karim, SV Angel) and are growing really really fast. That statement of fast growth might sound cliched, but our revenue growth graph looks like this (http://linode.interviewstreet.com/rev.png) and we have a ton of enterprise deals in the pipeline! Some of our recent customers include Square, Adobe, Chegg, etc.

While we continue to signup every technology company, we launched a new product (hackerrank.com) to build a community of programmers in different domains of Computer Science - AI, ML, Image processing, security, etc. The is a place to engage every problem solver in the world with an attractive layer on the top - contests, jobs, prizes, office hours (Eg: hackerrank.com/quora) from companies who are our customers already.

How will the company look in 2 years? We will be in a position to have 20-30k technology companies using our recruit product to make their interviewing effective and 100-150k active programmers/day on hackerrank making it effectively a hugely powerful platform to connect programmers with right opportunities (jobs or contests or cash prizes to solve real-world problems or learning a new domain or inventing a new technique to solve a problem and many more) in the fastest way. And when this happens, it will help ship products faster thus accelerating the pace of the world.

It's a tough mission ahead but something that's worth achieving - a mission which can seriously move the world fast. Everyone is so passionate and hardworking that sometimes from an external view, you might find it hard to differentiate a founder from an employee. We are hiring for all the roles - PM, hacker, sales, marketing (hackerrank.com/careers)
