Ask HN: Who is hiring? (December 2014)

CITYMAPPER (LONDON, UK). https://citymapper.com Full time software engineers in London. OK to relocate exceptional candidates.

Recent HN post! (help us solve the problems mentioned) Citymapper is what happens when you understand user experience https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8238260

We're building one of the most important apps on mobile, an urban transport app built on the back of open data, to help navigate and use cities. We're a VC-backed startup (Balderton, Index, Greylock, Connect) based in London with a team with backgrounds from Google, academia and startups.

We're looking for great people first and foremost, but especially the following roles:

- Routing. We're reinventing getting from A to B in the world of mobile, multi modal and real-time data.

- Infrastructure engineer. Be responsible for our platform in the cloud, shape the tool chain, and ensure that the moving parts of our system can communicate, so that we can expand to all the cities in the world.

- Android and iOS developers. We're reimagining mobile interfaces and developing all the features that we dream about. You care about the "little big details" and know the grotty implementation details required to make things work across a range of devices and future platforms.

- Data pipeline/data science/analytics. We're building an omnivorous transport data processor that fuses together loads of data sources, and a psychic city brain.

- Software engineers. We're looking for great engineers to solve a range of other big problems, including search, data analysis, natural language processing. We use a lot of P Python, and some C and Java.

CTO / Founder | EF | London

We're a new kind of startup accelerator; investing in top-tier developers pre-idea and pre-team.

We bring together the best developers into cohorts where they can find co-founders and get support to help them through the early stages of startup building (figuring out ideas, customer development, fund-raising).

We've had two cohorts so far resulting in twenty companies; they’re currently worth around $100m. They’ve raised money from some of the best investors around the world including YC.

We're currently focusing on developers who are in the early-stages of their career ranging from recent graduates and PhDs to developers with 4-5 years of real world dev experience. Founders are required to move to London but we’re actively recruiting from across Europe. We’ve also helped founders sort-out visas in the past when they’ve needed them.

We're especially interested in developers who also have domain expertise that they want to apply to building a startup. Whether thats from academic experience (we’ve had founders turn their doctorates into real world products), personal interest in specific technologies (blockchain, deep-learning, VR, etc.) or from working in a particular field (finance, security, etc).

We strongly believe that that we can only succeed by finding the best founders, so if you’re on the fence about applying or have any questions then drop us an email and we’ll help you figure it out.

The Climate Corporation (San Francisco, Seattle, St. Louis, Full time, INTERN/H1B) - http://climate.com/careers

   ===========================
   ====== What we do =========
   ===========================

Our mission is to build great software for farmers.

We use a combination of weather monitoring, agronomic modeling, satillite imagery, and weather simulation to provide data and insights to those farmers.

   =================================    
   ===== Who we’re looking for =====       
   =================================

We're hiring full-time employees and interns across many teams.

Work is split across groups focusing on web applications for farmers and agents, risk and insurance policy management, internal platform and data services, and scientific modeling and research, with roles for:

1. Software Engineers, particularly anyone interested in building (i) entirely new, large-scale distributed data services for scientific computing (we use Clojure); and (ii) web applications (Clojure, Rails, Python, Javascript, and iOS) used by farmers to manage weather risk.

2. Quantitative researchers in statistics/ML, stochastic optimization, remote sensing, atmospheric physics, and agronomics. Our goal is to forecast statistical distributions of crop yield for any piece of arable land, synthesizing satellite images, digital elevation models, weather data, agricultural statistics, and geological surveys into multiscale models that underly our data services.

3. Experienced technical team leads, operations engineers, product managers, and designers to pull all this together into a compelling product. The scale and interdisciplinary nature of the work drive a lot of cross-collaboration within the company, supported by a pressing need to build durable solutions to some very hard and important problems.

   ===========================    
   ====== Why I love it ======    
   ===========================

 – I think Climate is poised to make a huge impact on farming. 
 – I am surrounded by a group of super smart people that care about the work we are doing.
 – I get to tackle challenging problems everyday.

I am on the satellite imagery team and I am really excited about the work we've been doing, I am happy to talk in length about it over email at skhalsa@climate.com.

   ===========================    
   ====== Other details ======    
   ===========================

– Competitive salary – Excellent benefits – Stocks – Other crazy perks (massages!)

We also have something called sprintbatticals where anyone can work on an independent project for some time (we are in the midst of redesigning this)

If you apply through this link then I'm told you will be put in a smaller queue that should be looked at more quickly: https://hire.jobvite.com/j?bj=oVwpZfwz&s=Hackernews_Satshaba...

If you have any questions email at skhalsa@climate.com. I am happy to answer anything I can, or put you in contact with people who can answer your questions.

p.s. people who emailed me last month, I did forward your details along to hiring managers even if I didn't reply to your email directly. Sorry, this posting got an overwhelming response!
