hiQ Labs is using data science to disrupt HR. Recently funded; customers include Facebook, Box.com, Pfizer, Nestle, Gap and more.

We are seeking a big data guru -- someone who can help us grow from handling merely biggish data to truly massive data collection and processing. Presently our infrastructure is built around MongoDB, but we are well aware of its limitations and anticipate moving to something such as Postgres and/or Cassandra/Hadoop. Our ideal candidate has 4+ years of experience in the real world dealing with terabytes of data, distributed file systems, map/reduce style processing, and building systems that remain robust to component failure and network issues. Experience with MongoDB and AWS a big plus.

Dixie | Copenhagen, Berlin, London | Technical co-founder

Every business needs a back office, yet no business owner enjoys doing bookkeeping, accounting, payroll or the like. Most people end up either taking away precious time from their business and their loved ones, or simply outsource these tasks out of sight, thus losing the benefits of knowing what's going on in their company.

With Dixie we want to challenge the way the back office works. By taking care of the tedious tasks and providing actionable insights - not just numbers - Dixie’s goal is to help everyone do what they love and their business be successful.

So what kind of product will I be building?

Dixie is a tech company, tackling a real life problem. At the core of our product is a personal advisor who assists business owners with their administrative tasks and provides them with valuable insights.

Your job is to craft an elegant and easy to use interface between business owners and our advisor team. Focus is on providing a day to day overview of how a business is doing, ignoring all the noise. Advisors communicate with the business owners by submitting them actionable tasks and answering ad-hoc questions.

Behind the scenes your job is to evaluate and glue together the best existing tools into a unified platform. On top of this we will build the automation that allows our advisory team to focus on their client relationships and not menial tasks. 

Requirements

   - You are passionate about entrepreneurship and technology - and maybe even back office ;)
   - You are passionate about and have strong experience with modern frontend & backend technologies
   - You have previous experience as a CTO or lead developer in a startup environment
   - You are confident that you can build and lead an amazing team
   - You have experience running agile(ish) / lean product development
   - Willing to relocate to Copenhagen, London or Berlin

Software Engineer - Kira Talent (www.kiratalent.com/about/) - Toronto, Canada - Full-Time

Our mission is to help schools predict their most successful students. We're used by almost half of the top MBA programs across North America, and are quickly growing in engineering, undergraduate business and science programs.

Applicants complete timed and written assessments created by the school, that test non-cognitive competencies like leadership, creativity and empathy. Admissions teams can then better evaluate students and build a stronger program overall.

We've raised over $3M of financing, and are growing our engineering team in all areas (full-stack web, infrastructure, etc).

Here's what we're working on: - architecting and building global infrastructure to scale our video recording and streaming - workflow features that help admissions team assign applicants to certain reviewers, and manage their reviewing teams - capturing analytics data about how our users use the product, and making decisions internally - data trumps everything!

Here's what we use: Python (Django), JavaScript (jQuery, RequireJS, FlightJS), MySQL, Celery, RabbitMQ, Wowza, AWS,.

You’d be a great fit to our team if you have:

  - 2+ years of software engineering experience in production
  - Proven yourself as an A+ engineer through great work results, interesting hobby projects, open source contributions, or superior academic results
  - Deep experience with multiple programming languages including Python, C, Java, Ruby, JavaScript
Since we’re a small team (you’d be #16), we have lots of fun together! We host bi-weekly lunch & learns, beer o’clock on Friday afternoons, board game nights every few weeks and have done tons of activities outside of work (i.e. wine tasting, cottage retreat, etc).

My name is Konrad, and I'm one of the founders! Send me a note at konrad@kiratalent.com if you're interested!

             __/ |
            |___/

Hi! We're Nylas and our team is building the next generation email platform, starting with beautiful APIs. Developers depend on our APIs, so we have to be reliable, up all the time, and fast. We have more data for a single user than in most startups' entire database. That means big technical challenges to solve as we scale our fledgling distributed backend. We've also been working on a new email client, and we're looking for product designers and front-end engineers.

We're using React, Flux, and Electron. More here: http://www.nylas.com/blog/splitting-the-atom

== More about us ==

• Backend: Python, Flask, gevent, nginx, MySQL, AWS, and Debian.

• Frontend: Coffeescript, React, (Re)Flux, WebSQL, Atom Shell (NodeJS + Chromium)

• Like open source? Us too-- check it out: https://github.com/nylas

• We're 40% women on our team of 13 (12 engineers), including 1 of 2 cofounders. We want to make that number 50%.

• Our sunny Mission office is more lived-in than tidy. Think art studio, not corporate. Our team is more likely to end up in Yosemite or on a bike ride together than drinking at the latest startup event.

• We have a flexible vacation policy and value personal responsibility and ownership. Benefits include full health, dental, vision, commuter, and lunch at the office every day. Some remote work / work-from-home is OK too.

Apply at https://www.nylas.com/jobs and mention HN. We love it when candidates let us know what draws them to the job, and we encourage applications from women, LGBTQ folks, and people of diverse backgrounds. Some recent press: http://techcrunch.com/2015/01/27/next-gen-email-platform-nil....

Experience with these is a big plus, but if you've never used them before that's fine too. If you write clean, tested, working code, think through problems, and know how to ship, we want to talk to you.

We're a Crain's Best Place to Work in NYC for the 3rd year in a row. We play Ultimate or Soccer on Fridays, have a company band, game nights, and dev seminars where we talk tech and learn from each other. We keep sane hours and don't track vacation.
