Ask HN: Who is hiring? (September 2014)

Rinse is a technology-enabled dry cleaning and laundry delivery service. Our customers use a mobile app, our website, or SMS to schedule a delivery, and then we use sophisticated software and processes to 'level up' what is still mostly a pen-and-paper industry. We've been growing exponentially for a year now; if you live in SF and haven't heard of us, you will soon!

We're hiring a senior software developer to solve problems ranging from the capacitated vehicle routing problem to image processing to linux kiosks. We're primarily Django + Bootstrap.js with a healthy dose of Celery + Heroku + Ubuntu. Big bonus points if you have history in the industry!

We're also hiring a Customer Experience Specialist. No technical skills are necessary for this role, but you'll need well-developed empathy and solid written and verbal communication skills. We have absolutely stellar customer satisfaction and retention statistics, and we aim to keep it that way! If you want to join a rapidly-growing startup in San Francisco, but aren't an elite hacker, here's your chance!

If you have any questions about either of these roles, please do not hesitate to email me directly at sam rinse.com

Fanout makes it easy to build realtime applications and APIs.

We operate a distributed cloud service for delivering data in realtime via a variety of transport mechanisms: REST, HTTP streaming, WebSockets, Webhooks, XMPP. Useful for creating applications like chat, sports updates, stock tickers, games, and collaborative applications.

You're a backend engineer who is passionate about realtime technologies, network protocols, and open standards. You hate silos and walled gardens. You have opinions about when to use event-driven vs threaded programming patterns. You lie awake at night thinking about how to optimize out network round trips. You might even know assembly language, or did in a past life.

Also, our code is almost entirely open source! You should think that's pretty incredible.

Important pieces of our stack: C++ & Python/Django, ZeroMQ, Mongrel2, Redis.

Your job:

- Help us build out and scale our distributed cloud service.

- Squeeze the most value out of our servers.

- Make the service bulletproof.

- Gloat about how you get paid to code publicly on GitHub.
