Ask HN: Who is hiring? (January 2013)

Co-Founder of Styloot.com here.

Styloot.com, is a visual search engine for fashion. At 700,000 skus and 4000+ brands, we carry slightly more women apparel than Amazon and twice as many shoes as Zappos.

We are looking to hire Python and Javascript developers.

You will be working directly with the product and will be making decisions that directly influence the site.

You must love coding - everything else we can work around.

You must have a github repo that you are proud of. Email us if interested - info at styloot.com

At Causes, use your programming powers to help anyone change the world! Ruby on Rails + jQuery stack, 15-ish person engineering team, the usual startup perks (catering, snacks, soda, etc), gym membership reimbursement, etc.

Ways we're trying to make ourselves better engineers:

- Deliberate practice with our tools. If you are a vim user, we have the programmer who wrote Command-T on staff and he's a great person to learn from.

- Every changeset gets pushed to Gerrit where it waits to get a +1 from our build suite (that runs in 3 minutes) and a +1 from a human reviewer.

- Over the last 4 months, we've upgraded from Rails 2.1 to 3.2.3 and are using the static asset pipeline, SASS/Compass, and HAML. We're the largest site I know of on Rails 3.2. We gave a presentation on the upgrade at last weeks SF Rails meetup, slides at causes.github.com/migrating-rails-talk

- Everyone is encouraged to take one hour from their day to learn about something they wouldn't otherwise (aka study hall).

- Every story is scoped so that it can be completed in less than a day. We don't branch, we just work on top of master. We've found that the closer we stay to master, the less needless work we create for ourselves.

Causes is a great place to better yourself and the world. We're particularly looking for a: - DEVOPS ENGINEER - FULL-STACK ENGINEER - iOS ENGINEER

At Which?, we believe that individuals can be as powerful as the organisations they have to deal with in their daily lives. We engage in advocacy campaigns on various consumer protection issues and aim to promote informed consumer choice in the purchase of goods and services, by testing products, highlighting inferior products or services, raising awareness of consumer rights and offering independent advice.

But for us, that's not enough. We want to look after consumers wherever and whenever they are to help them make the right decisions. So, we're currently revamping our digital presence by building a better infrastructure to support our products. As an example of what we've been up to, we recently launched http://university.which.co.uk which is a new mobile-friendly website designed to help students make more informed decisions about their higher education choices.

The biggest challenge we face is designing and building a very broad range of other products in a more service-oriented and cross-platform manner. This will mean that there is a lot of starting from scratch, and having to decide upon the right tool for the right job (we're currently into Nodejs, Ruby, Java and PHP).

So if you are a great team player and you are into designing service oriented application, playing with large volume of data aggregation or you just love to solve challenging problems, we'd like to hear what you think. We are hiring front-end and back-end developers.

We're a diverse, sociable team, and you'll have the opportunity to make a big impact on the company and its future success.

Feel free to email us at recruitment@which.co.uk for more information.
