Intermediate/Senior Web Developer Tugg.com (Austin, TX; Los Angeles, CA)

Tugg launched at SXSW in 2012 and has since facilitated over 2000 events in all 50 states and abroad. Tugg is head quartered in the beautiful hills of Austin, Texas but has recently expanded to several remote offices. We have big ideas and are looking to expand our already great team! Tugg is a platform that enables people to choose the films that play in their local theaters as well as to promote their own events. Our experienced team helps guide anyone from a first time promoter to someone hosting their 100th Tugg event on the path to creating a successful screening.

As Tugg continues to disrupt the way films are released in theaters, we are also growing the platform to become a major player in entertainment e-commerce. From the sale of Video on Demand, DVDs, and merchandise, to a broad offering of curated products from makers around the world, Tugg is building tools to make it easy for content owners, influencers, brands and fans to collaborate under one roof to know and grow their audience more vigorously than ever before.

Hey Vishal, that's amazing to hear! Data scientist is a role we've been pondering, if you are up for it, we'd still love to hear from you :-)

Hey Joel! Quick question; are your engineering guys office based or do they work remotely? I've been following you guys for a while but I'm pretty firmly rooted in Warwickshire!

We're fully distributed, that includes all engineers too :-) Colin is based in Cambridge. Firmly rooted in Warwickshire is no problem! I went to Warwick University by the way :-)

Hey everyone, hope your April is off to a killer start! Like in last month's Who is hiring I wanted to share all our numbers for complete transparency. March just came to a close and Buffer stands at 1.4M total users served by a small 21 person team spread across 14 cities and 5 continents. 130,000 of our users are actively using the product each month. We generated $350,000 in March, and we have $580,000 in the bank…

This the craziest job posting I think I've ever seen in any of these threads. The salary link? Insane.

Let me know if you have any questions about that or anything else :-)

Just interesting, how many emails do you get per post? I have a feeling that getting any reply from you will be like a winning a lottery (thus, I've never applied so far).

We've been transparent about how many applications we get, which is quite a lot from what I've heard other founders say when I've mentioned the numbers: http://open.bufferapp.com/hiring-at-buffer-in-february-2024-... (we probably get at least 100 emails from HN if we end up near the top).

We're lucky to have a lot of interest and so in some ways I guess it ends up like a lottery. At the same time, we try and share as much as we can around the culture and when it is a good fit. Here's a post about that: http://open.bufferapp.com/how-we-hire/

Let me know if you have any questions :-)

Edit: To answer your question about getting a reply - we reply to every single email, even though it can be tough and can take a couple of weeks or so for us to get to them all.

San Francisco - Heyday - http://hey.co

We are building a lifelog for people to remember and share the story of their lives, automatically, beautifully, and privately. Two months ago, we launched here on Hacker News [ https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6858373 ]. Here's what some of you guys said:

- "Wow. I rarely download this stuff. But the fact that it claims to be automatic piqued my interest. After downloading it I can say that my first impression is shocked. Shocked that I really liked it."

- "This is very well done. This could crush Facebook. Not in the short term but if you create a timeline that is more personally valuable to people they will be far more likely to use it and share it with friends and family. Your timeline is already far more interesting then my "Wall."

- "Why is it free? I would've paid for this."

- "I have been looking for this. I've been so desperate for this I've been contemplating creating it myself."

We're looking for:

* Mobile engineers (iOS - hard problems include making our sync engine fast/reliable, fast/intuitive search for memories, surfacing important memories in the background, UI performance, and doing it all without using a lot of battery)

* Systems engineers (Python, AWS, Puppet/Chef - hard problems include delivering accurate geocoding for memories, reliable syncing, and building systems to monitor and scale all of it automatically)

* Data scientists (R/Matlab/SPSS, Python, SQL, statistics, machine learning - hard problems include using ML to improve accuracy of geocoding, building growth and retention models, all while guaranteeing user anonymity and privacy).

We will fly you out for interviews and relocate you to San Francisco if you aren't here already. A lot of our team work remotely from time to time, but we haven't found full time remote employees to work out well for us since we collaborate so closely together in real time.

Please email us directly at siqi at hey dot co (8 hour SLA for a response).
