Ask HN: Who is hiring? (April 2014)

August builds products that make life simpler by allowing physical environments to respond seamlessly to people’s behavior. We believe in building quality experiences for our customers through elegance and simplicity. We have a lot planned for the future, and are looking to build a team eager to join the ride. Our software is currently built using Objective C, C, Javascript, Java, MongoDB, Node.JS, and Redis. Our hardware uses Bluetooth 4.0 BLE and ARM microprocessors.

I'm a team lead at hopTo, and we're currently hiring mobile developers and people with a Windows background. The latter is my team, and if you're someone who's bored with his/her current enterprise-level job coding for the Microsoft stack and want something more challenging, I'd love to talk with you.

Our product involves some low-level hackery in C++/C# on the Windows side, stuff like coding messages ourselves and feeding them to window handles, custom drivers, and other bits. We need people who have a solid background with Windows architecture (MFC, Windows Forms, etc) and the drive to learn the rest. If you're looking to move up from a standard .Net job, this is a way to do it.

In return, we offer solid salaries and stock shares (we're a public company!), a flat hierarchy with a great team, four weeks off, and very competitive games of FIFA on our XBox. Additionally, we hate overtime. I've never once been asked to stay late and crunch, though my work is fun enough that I'll sometimes hack on the weekends anyway.

If you're interested, please email a resume to andrew at hopto.com, along with a link to something you've built (either a web site, or a Github repo, or whatever).

We value being a high quality engineering organization with great people, a fun environment, and pride in our products and code. We have experience with consumer scale and data (Reddit co-founder & engineers) and a history of building winning products. We focus on getting stuff done and enabling you to do your best work, and we're more than just coworkers and friends.

This is still "barely out of school, hardly knows what he's doing" stage :)

Edit - downvote me all you want, but if you are to show up on the interview and declare that you are in an "experienced dev (with 3+ years)", the interview will conclude quickly. It's not that you have just three years of experience, it's the fact that you think it's a lot. It's not. This makes you cocky and cockiness can be costly, especially in an otherwise coherent team.

At Palantir, we develop the world’s leading products for data analysis and we deploy them against problems that truly matter—uncovering human trafficking rings, containing the spread of infectious diseases, combating fraud, stopping cyber attacks, protecting privacy and civil liberties, prosecuting complex financial crimes, providing relief to victims of natural disasters, and more. Sound exciting? We think so, too.
