Ask HN: Who is hiring? (January 2015)

Fulltime web application engineer

Our core team is experienced with a history of successful startups. We look for exceptional people who have a passion to individually apply their skills, learn, innovate and create tangible value for the company. We currently have a small engineering team and need to add a few more key people.

What we look for: You will be responsible for designing and implementing the Java application that connects the front-end interfaces with the backend analytics data. This is the business logic that provides realtime decisions and powers the analytics dashboard.

- Foremost you must consider yourself an expert at building web applications using Java.

- Since this component will glue the frontend UI to the backend data, understanding AngularJS and DynamoDB are helpful.

- Experience using other technologies in our stack will get you a head start. These are GitHub, Jenkins, AWS S3 and EC2.

Metail builds a virtual 3D fitting room to help people buy the clothes that fit when shopping online. We are a well funded startup and growing to meet our ambition.

These are the full-time roles we have at Metail's engineering offices in the centre of Cambridge, UK:

- Senior Graphics Software Engineer (3D Visualisation, Direct3D, OpenGL, C++, C#)

- Senior Web Application Engineer (Frontend Javascript, CoffeeScript, Backbone, Single page web apps)

- Big Data Engineer (MapReduce, NoSQL, Clojure, Cascalog)

- R&D Engineer (FE analysis, Machine learning, 3D Visualisation)

We also have UX/UI Designer and Product Manager roles in our London office.

You would be joining a highly focussed technical team in a startup that is working with customers around the globe (Latin America, Europe, Far East). We enjoy the technical challenges of our day job and often socialise together in the evening. Cambridge itself is a great place to live and has a large tech community.

Unfortunately we are not in a position to help with visas, so we mostly need great engineers who are already eligible to work in the UK.

If you are interested, you can get more details at http://metail.com/jobs/ or apply by email to jobs+hn14@metail.com.

Rinse is a technology-enabled dry cleaning and laundry delivery service. We've been growing our service at an exponential rate for the past year, and our customers love us! We have a number of open positions, and have hired a significant portion of our team via Hacker News.

Rinse is hiring Software Engineers to develop our functionality across the stack. We have hybrid mobile apps for both Android and iOS for our customers AND our drivers. We also have sophisticated web-based tools for our customer service team, internal operations staff, and vendors. Laundry is a surprisingly-complex logistical process, and so our customer-facing software is just the tip of the iceberg. We're solving problems like the Traveling Salesman and image classification, too. Our tech stack is approximately HTML5 / Backbone.js / Django / Python / Postgres / Heroku / Ubuntu, but we're a tiny tech team, so any newcomer will be able to shape architecture.

We're also hiring for a "Special Operations Associate" which is someone who may not have unique technical ability, but who has great aptitude and a willingness to work hard to improve our business. Analytical capability and attention to detail are important skills for this person. Bonus points for someone with an Industrial Engineering or Process Engineering background. This position is great for an ambitious hustler looking to join a "rocket ship" startup. Obviously, this position presents a significant growth opportunity.

Any applicant who we interview will receive $25 in free Rinse credit... If you live in San Francisco, give us a try!

Interested? I'd be happy to answer any questions at sam (at) rinse.com.
