Ask HN: Who is hiring? (September 2014)

We won TechCrunch Disrupt NYC and raised our $8M Series A last month - http://techcrunch.com/2014/08/07/the-rebundling

Vurb is evolving the way we search and share on web and mobile. Rather than windows/tabs or jumping from app to app, we're building a platform that brings services together and delivers a cohesive experience in one place - an app you'll use every day.

Our investors include Max Levchin, Drew Houston (Dropbox), Naval Ravikant (AngelList), CrunchFund, Redpoint Ventures, and many others.

Why me? Apply if you want to join a small team that is rapidly growing (since we just raised new money), take on significant responsibility and ship rapidly. This is a hard problem with the potential to improve how we do things on the Internet.

Full-time opportunities (interview on-site, H1B transfers OK)

* Search / Data Scientist / Data Engineer - search, classification, ranking, ML, recommendation systems, NLP, graph dbs, data crawling/processing. Search experience strongly desired. CS degree is required for this role.

* Full-stack Engineer - generalist opportunities across the stack: work on your choice of backend, frontend, APIs, devops. Experience in JavaScript / node.js preferred

* Lead Android Engineer - help bring our Android version to market

* Lead Designer - sharp eye for visual and/or UX design - please include your portfolio or Dribbble

We build products at the intersection of technology around data. Lots of data visualization, big data and infrastructure.

We are a multicultural team with French, American, British, Chinese, Korean, Dutch and Finnish colleagues. We are about to settle a third office in Berlin and are looking at remote hiring in Spain and Seoul.

We work a lot with Javascript (node.js, AngularJS), Python, occasionally Go and Erlang. Lots of single page apps, APIs and infrastructure automation.

We are looking for full-time or interns:

- Developers; front-end (HTML5 + Compass + AngularJS), backend (node.js, Python), ops (Python, Go).

- Designers; you have design chops, understand technology (HTML/CSS...) and do more than nice pictures (content strategy, color theory, ...).

- Strategist; you can quickly immerse yourself in a new field of knowledge, have a knack for data and are quick at recognizing patterns. You are a jack-of-all-trades that can think a solution and get it shipped, either alone or with a team.

- Marketing; you have what it takes to grow a brand or product online and understand how to leverage online and offline tools to get there.

- Business Development; if you are in Washington DC, Berlin or Paris, understand enough of our space and would like to help us grow our services, shoot us an email.
