#2I'm building the core team at StoryWorth and hiring for three roles:
* Marketing and Partnerships lead. I’m looking for someone who can think creatively about our customer acquisition strategy then be highly analytical about executing on it.
* iOS Engineer. You’ll be responsible for building our mobile app from scratch, working closely with me on the design and with our web engineer on the backend. Prior experience building an iOS app is required.
* Full-stack Web Engineer. You’ll be taking over the core engineering of the site from me, scaling it as we grow and implementing major new features. You need to be comfortable with Python, HTML and CSS. Bonus points if you have an interest in design.
StoryWorth makes it easy for people to privately record their family stories. Each week, we email our customers a question about their life, for example “What do you remember about your grandmother?” or “Tell me about the day you got engaged”. All they have to do is reply with a story, either by email or by phone. We save their stories and share them privately with their family.
We have a launched product with paying customers across the country who love our service. This is an opportunity to be part of the core team that is going to help every family in the world record their story for generations to come.
You're a good fit for these roles if you crave a ton of responsibility on a small team. If you're the kind of person who learns by doing, you'll be learning faster than ever before. All roles require 3-5 years of experience.
If you're interested, I'd be happy to tell you more. Email your resume to nick@storyworth.com, I can't wait to hear from you!

#3We're taking the opportunity to build a 21st century financial institution, from scratch. After retail (Amazon) and media (Google), finance is the last great intermediating industry, and the one best suited to being conquered by a tech company.
Here at Alphalend we're doing just that. Things have been moving fast: founded in January, seed funded by May, operations up and running by June, we're now in urgent need of the best and brightest programmers to turn our vision into reality. We've set up a fully-functioning lending platform and are working on a series of game-changing projects, for which we need talent.
Our first product: the world's fastest P2P lending platform, powered by real-time automated credit decisions and risk pricing.
We're running LAMP (Symfony2) + jQuery, but as we branch out, we'll be looking to use the best technology for the task.
You'll be joining a recently-funded, small team as developer #2 and employee #6, with plenty of opportunity to shape the direction of the company and culture.
If you're interested, please drop us a line at contact@alphalend.com

#4We're a startup trying to reinvent retail so men can dress well without being subject to the horrors of the high street or having to trawl through millions of items online. We do this using a combination of powerful algorithms and human stylists.
You'd be joining a small, highly technical team with a ton of startup experience (the founders have started and sold 2 companies before). You'll be one of the first technical hires and get to build and own huge parts of the product and work on the core algorithms.
One of our ancillary goals is to build one of the best engineering cultures anywhere, and we'd love you to help us do that. We launched in October and user and revenue numbers are scaling extremely quickly. We're backed by a collection of the top investors from London and Silicon Valley as well as Y Combinator.
We're especially interested in people who are interested in founding their own startup one day. We view working at Thread as a founder bootcamp where you'll learn about all parts of starting and growing a startup.

Thanks!

#5Currently hiring for Engineering, Data science and DevOps positions, and our stack is primarily Python & JavaScript, with a wide variety of frameworks like Django/Flask and Backbone/Marionette/d3/react. js to keep things interesting. We're an established startup, focused on doing important things for the fourth biggest industry in the world (fashion), helping them reduce waste and be more efficient. We have a beautiful web app, used every day by hundreds of people at ASOS, Gilt Groupe, Target, Gap and more. Our office is large and sociable, with people having lunch together every day and beer, wine, cheese and snacks in the office every Friday, as well as team days out.
Our engineering team is made up of some really clever people, solving diverse and interesting problems on a daily basis, like image analysis, big data visualisation and many others. We love good practices like extensive testing and continuous integration, and enjoy giving back to the community, so open source contributions are highly encouraged.
Half of the team has actually found and joined us through HN “who’s hiring”, so don't hesitate to get in touch, we're always happy to meet new people! If you want to talk to me directly, feel free to drop me an e-mail at andreas@editd.com :)

#7Robinhood started with a simple idea: using technology, we can re-think the way financial services operate. We cut out the fat that makes other financial services costly — legacy technology, hundreds of storefront locations, and paper-based accounting. And as a result, we radically reduce costs. Our team members have a diverse set of academic and industry experiences from Stanford, MIT, Caltech, Pixar, Oracle, ETrade, Bungie and Facebook.
* iOS Engineer - We’re looking for an experienced iOS engineer to help build the Robinhood iOS app, for both iPhone and iPad. This is truly a next-generation trading app that takes advantage of all the newest iOS 7 and 8 features, while featuring a highly custom UI.
* Web Engineer - We are seeking an experienced frontend web engineer to help build the Robinhood web app, for both desktop and mobile. The product features real-time, live-updating data and context-dependent interfaces, so you’ll be building a very rich client-side web application.
* Backend Engineer - Robinhood is looking for an experienced backend engineer to help build our brokerage web API. This includes systems such as market data, trading, accounting, authentication, and security. An ideal candidate would have previous experience designing RESTful APIs and the backend systems that implement them.
* Release Engineer - Robinhood is looking for an experienced release engineer to develop systems and processes to deploy and monitor our brokerage software. Technologies that we use include AWS, SaltStack, Python, Django, Redis, and PostgreSQL. An ideal candidate would have several years of experience with most or all of these technologies at a world-class engineering organization.
Please send all inquiries/resumes to careers@robinhood.com
Robinhood Markets, Inc and its affiliates are equal opportunity employers.

#9Hi I'm Buf, one of the founders at Shortcut. Shortcut is all about making live event concessions better. $50B goes through concessions every year. No one knows who spends this money. We want to give this data to the venue while at the same time make life easier for the attendee.
Shortcut is founded by early employees of Eventbrite and Uber. We allow attendees at live events to order food/drink/merchandise from their phone. They can then have it delivered to them or pick it up via a fast lane.
We have just completed the Techstars program and raised a seed round (which is not public until late September).
This is mainly a Rails job, but there would be portions of Android / iOS once in a while.
Tasks:
* Lead by example – by writing good code, talking about good code, and then drinking beers with the team to celebrate all the good code everyone wrote
* Design and development of new product features and enhancements
* Know what technologies are out there in case you need to use them
* Periodically teach your co-workers all the great stuff you learned via tech talks, brown bags, blogs or open source
Requirements: * You ideally have Ruby on Rails experience with at least working knowledge of Android.
* You want to work in a startup (a.k.a. a place that works hard and plays hard)
* You feel comforted when you write a good unit test
* You must have a Bachelor’s knowledge level of computer science via education or experience
* You know when to use Postgres/Mysql vs Mongodb/Redis
* You understand the full stack (servers, RoR, javascript/css/html)

#10Looking for great work-life balance at a job where you can say "I can't find my keyboard under all these robots!" ? Want a place with half-day Fridays during the summer so you can get to the beach on a Friday afternoon? Then iRobot might be the place for you.
We blend cutting-edge research and practical engineering to build useful and affordable robots.
We're looking for smart engineers who are easy to work with. You should probably think robots are cool, but a robotics background is NOT required. (I had no robotics background when I started at iRobot.)
iRobot is looking for software engineers and mechanical engineers.
Here are a few of our 20+ job openings:
* Embedded software engineers: We're hiring for "big embedded" (C++, Linux, and big cpus) and "small embedded" (C, bare-metal, small cpus). If you have good OO skills (C++, Java, etc.) but no "embedded" background that's okay too - shoot me an email and we'll chat.
* Software engineers for vision, navigation, and mapping
* Test engineers
* Mechanical engineers
* IT engineers
* UX/UI engineers
Check our jobs site for all positions: http://www.irobot.com/us/Company/Careers.aspx
Email me directly if you'd like to know more: csvec@irobot.com
Please email even if you're not sure if you're a match; I'm always happy to talk to other HN'ers!
PS: We have hired people from these "Who is hiring?" posts, thanks to HN for this service/forum!
