Ask HN: Who is hiring? (January 2015)

This sounds like an interesting job :)

== Who we are ==

Everyone has a right to keep their digital content private and secure. We founded Virtru because we believe that exercising that right should be easy and convenient. Virtru allows you to send end-to-end encrypted email using your existing email address and email provider with the flip of a switch.

Our browser extension for Chrome and Firefox allows you to send and receive encrypted email directly from Gmail, Yahoo, and Outlook.com. Our Android and iOS mobile apps and Outlook desktop plugin work with any provider that uses IMAP. Our full time team of 16 is currently 50% engineers. We value automated testing, readable/maintainable code, documentation, and code reviews. We run in 2 week sprints and dedicate about 20% of total capacity to things the dev team thinks are important (technical debt, refactors, exploring a new technology, etc), while the rest goes to feature development and addressing bugs.

We are well capitalized with investments from Bessemer Venture Partners [0] and private investors.

== Current positions ==

- Full stack NodeJS/Javascript developer. Our backend runs on NodeJS (with dabbles of Python), our frontend uses Angular and Backbone (looking to consolidate!), and our browser extensions use our internal javascript framework to run in Chrome and Firefox.

- Android developer

- iOS/Mac OS developer

- .NET developer to support our Outlook desktop plugin

I work on the backend, so I can provide some details on that role. Our client facing API services are built on Express.js. We run in the AWS cloud and are looking for someone with deep experience deploying/maintaining services/infrastructure who can also help add new functionality to the application layer. Some things we play with on the backend: NodeJS, ExpressJS, PassportJS, AWS (EC2, SQS, ElastiCache), CouchDB, Packer, Salt Stack, ELK stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana), HAProxy 1.5, PagerDuty.

Some more information is listed here: https://www.virtru.com/careers.

== Get in touch ==

If you care about privacy and are interested in creating security products at a company which thinks that user experience is a first class citizen, please get in touch! Send a secure email (using Virtru!) to feedback@virtru.com with subject “HN who is hiring response” and tell us what interests you about Virtru. It would be great if you can provide some sample code that we can check out (github, bitbucket, etc).

If you have any questions, I’ll monitor this thread and/or you can email me directly (email in profile). [0] http://www.bvp.com/portfolio/virtru

As an organization, we have a long history with map data. Now we’re looking at interesting ways to use it to change driving. Cars of the future (and present) have onboard computers, tons of sensors, and internet connections over the cell network. If you could hook that up to our map data, you could do some really cool things.

We’re looking for strong Java developers to make this happen. Experience with AWS, apache storm, stream processing or high volume, low-latency applications are all plusses.

We're also looking for strong SDETs.

The things I’ve enjoyed most since starting here a few months ago:

- Interesting problem space

- Interesting tech stack

- I get to wear sandals to work (I chose to not take advantage of this particular perk today)

- Team running group that goes for a run together every Wednesday morning before lunch (weather permitting)

- Company gym

- Quickly-growing team

- Good medical insurance coverage

- Starting a lunch time study group (with lunch provided by the company!)

2x .NET C# full stack developers. 1x API integration developer.

We are an on-line product distribution platform that helps connect on-line retailers to more consumers. We help our clients get a better return on investment with their chosen channels and increase profitability.

We have recently closed our first round of funding and want to use that to help us grow quicker than we have been doing organically over the last 5 years. We have always been profitable and have a proven revenue model, so this funding is purely to help us expand at a faster pace.

We are hiring for a multitude of roles but I am specificity looking here for a couple of .NET C# developers who have experience with ASP.MVC and are very comfortable spending a lot of time in JavaScript.
