Ask HN: Who is hiring? (June 2015)

http://sideprize.com/

SidePrize sits somewhere between traditional fantasy and daily fantasy sports. You can think of us as a bridge between the two. We partner with fantasy sports platforms and leagues to provide additional game types, real-money contests and payments.

Fantasy sports is our first target, but we'll be heading into video games and other verticals soon.

We’re looking for someone to lead our backend development efforts. The challenge at hand is building a solid integration with our partners using a combination of APIs and scraping.

Required:

* Experience writing and maintaining web applications, specifically back-end (server-side).

* Experience with the Ruby programming language and/or the Ruby on Rails web application framework.

* Great writing and communication skills. One or more members is often remote, being able to communicate by writing is of critical importance.

* Good requirement-gathering skills. Starting with a problem and working from there to understand how the problem can be solved is a valuable skill.

* A strong interest in sports.

Preferred:

* Experience maintaining the front-end of web applications (HTML/CSS/JavaScript).

* A strong interest in fantasy sports and sports statistics.

* Experience building fantasy sports or similar applications.

Both fantasy sports and mobile payments were crowned as two of the 10 hottest industries for 2015—we operate in both. Plus, we’ve got a solid team with a proven CEO at the helm.

If you’re interested in statistics, technology or sports, there isn’t a better opportunity than SidePrize. If you’re interested, send an email to tareq@sideprize.com.
