Ask HN: Who is hiring? (June 2015)

Earnest – Software and Data Engineers of all levels – https://www.meetearnest.com/careers

Want to revolutionize finance?

Earnest is a next generation financial technology company intent on improving consumer finance. We are looking beyond traditional metrics like credit scores and using data science and software to reinvent lending.

Our technology team is made up of data scientists, software engineers and data engineers that decide how they work best. We believe this allows for people to take greater ownership and approach problems creatively. We find value in code reviews, pair programming and paying down technical debt. Every day we are deploying code and launching features with few internal bureaucratic barriers to get closer to our vision of a better, more just bank. We’re constantly reflecting on how we can improve our product and processes, and will quickly push towards better solutions as they come. We value diversity of perspective, and evaluate ideas on merits, not seniority.

Blackbird is a stealth, ventured backed, artificial intelligence technology company focused on solving some important challenges created by the shift from desktop to mobile. Our stack is primarily in functional style Scala (we are heavy functional programming users) with most of our AI stack in Python and C++.

We're one of a few startups that do AI research above and beyond product development. We host regular talks on multiple disciplines ranging from systems to functional programming to deep learning.

The team was founded by former Stanford CS graduates that built self driving cars, search at Google and Yahoo Research, co-authored the google file system and scaled Twitter to 200 million users. Our open source code powers Snapchat, Tumblr, Wikipedia in production today.

We're currently looking to add some great engineers to our team. Want to write highly scalable software with the architects who scaled Twitter and Google? Want to run ops for software which is designed for fault tolerance? Want to design next generation user interfaces? jobs at blackbird.am

If you like Python, JS, C, D, Lua or Erlang, and petabytes of data, this is your dream job. AdRoll is one of the fastest growing adtech company, already producing $100M+ in revenue with a small engineering team.

Analytics is so critical to us that a large part of the stack, including our high-performance, in-memory data backend, is developed in-house in Python (Numba), Erlang, and C. Read more here
