Ask HN: Who is hiring? (June 2015)

Right now the market for educational software is a mess. It’s incredibly difficult for developers to get their products into schools, and they have no information about the students who are using their software. On the schools’ side, large districts are spending tons of money on learning applications, but they have no way of knowing if students are even using the apps they’re purchasing. Teachers know there’s great software out there, but the challenge of getting 30 kids to log in correctly makes using it impossible.

At Clever, we’re working to change that. We provide schools with a free API and single sign-on solution that makes using educational apps a breeze. We’ve grown fast: after two and a half years, we’re moving data for a quarter of all K-12 students in America (16M kids), and 36,000 schools are using us to manage their education apps. Our goals are much bigger than that, though. We want to be two things: -a single place where schools can easily manage and analyze all the software they’re using, and -a single identity that students can use to see everything they’ve learned across multiple apps.

We’re a team of 60 (25 engineers) based in downtown SF. We’re looking for full-stack engineers who like:

-Go, Coffeescript and Python (or are willing to learn)

-big responsibilities (there are 700,000 students on the platform per engineer here)

-hard technical problems (managing a huge, constantly updating data pipeline)

-tech talks on everything ranging from the history of hip-hop to neuroscience to exoplanets

We are revolutionizing the oil and gas industry, well funded, and (most importantly) producing significant revenue. This is the opportunity for the right people to align with us and share in ownership. We are a focused science and engineering driven team working with real physical devices and processes in technology and the natural world. You will work closely with 3 PhDs, 2 Masters of Science, and 4 Microsoft MVPs. We take our Values statement seriously, so read it first and decide. http://tachyus.com/joinus/

Data Physicist

Our data physics team develops algorithms to provide intelligence critical to field operations. You bring your experience doing quantitative analysis (data science) and physical modelling. You must love digging for wisdom in complex data sets and possess fluency in a language commonly used for scientific technical computing (Mathematica, MatLAB, Python, etc). You will solve problems involving reservoir depletion, equipment failure, drilling and completion strategies, and production optimization.

Software Engineers - F#, Python, and Web

We believe that expressive, declarative code is more frequently correct code. The core of our software platform is built with F#, a functional-first, strongly-typed compiled language. We seek engineers who are excited to do full-stack, product-driven thinking.

Our core physics and data science algorithms are written in Python and bridge the gap between pure research code and production-quality algorithms, often scaling up code to run faster on more computers. We seek engineers who are excited to do product-driven thinking, grounded in hard core physics and statistics.

Web Engineers (you know who you are) we use Typescript and an MVVM design on the front-end, and F# for our API layer. Regardless of language experience, the ideal candidate has strong experience implementing web applications which are correct, attractive, performant, and maintainable.

Correctness Engineer

The Tachyus Correctness Engineer is a Software Engineer who specializes in building the infrastructure to prove our software and algorithms produce accurate results. The CE works closely with the entire Engineering organization to prevent, catch, prioritize and eliminate errors in both software and data. He or she is an engineer at heart, preferably with experience writing production code.

Product Manager

We need a Product Manager to work at the intersection of our customers, scientists, engineers, and designers gathering feedback from customers, synthesizing iterations into precise documentation, and communicating clear product requirements to the team as we execute on our ambitious product roadmap.

Just as important, we also have open positions for:

Data Engineer, Senior UI Engineer, Petroleum Engineer, Recruiter

We build call tracking analytics software for small and medium sized businesses and the digital marketing agencies that serve them. The company is profitable, with a paying customer base of 18,000 companies, and recently raised a small series A round. The current product team consists of 8 people, all Atlanta-based. We're looking to add two or three more to help us build out the platform faster. Current tech stack is Ruby, Rails, AngularJS, Postgres, and Redis.

Senior Software Engineer - Looking for full-stack engineers who can help us expand the platform. Upcoming projects include refactoring key components into services, building out automated call scoring using machine classifiers, deeper integrations with other services, and improving our analytics tools.

Senior Mobile Engineer - We have aspirations of building native mobile applications, but nobody to do it. Looking for someone with experience building apps from the ground up, part of which will be scoping what features the app should include. No strong opinions on pure native vs hybrid vs Cordova vs Xamarin, but regardless there will eventually be some WebRTC components. Prefer to start with iOS, as that's where most of our customers are.

StrataCloud is deployment and monitoring intelligence for the data center. We have legacy products that bring in solid revenue, have taken in recent investment to guarantee financial stability, and are looking to grow our new product offerings FAST. We are focused on the Converged Infrastructure market in IT, making complex deployments of storage, compute, and networking resources in the data center blindingly fast, allowing application deployments on private data centers with the same ease of public cloud offerings, and continuously monitoring the performance of the infrastructure and those applications in an ongoing manner.

We hire for cultural fit and intelligence above all else. We use Erlang, Python, CoffeeScript, Backbone, Mongo, Java, and a few other fun flavors in our cookbook. All the usual startup perks, without the dumb schmancy stuff.
