Ask HN: Who is hiring? (June 2015)

GlobalSign (www.globalsign.com) - one of the Internet’s original Certificate Authorities. Over the years we have issued millions of trusted Digital Certificates to people, servers and mobile devices for Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) enabled solutions and applications. Our identity and access management portfolio includes access control, single sign-on (SSO), federation and delegation services to help organizations and service providers create new business models for customer and partner interactions. We operate in small teams - tightly integrated with product management. In these development roles, you'll be working to build out new products and services to expand our PKI services portfolio. We're looking for individuals with solid fundamentals - exposure to lower level coding like C/C++ is important - but also looking for those who have skills to build scalable systems in higher level languages. Interest / experience in internet security and/or building high capacity backend systems is a huge plus as well. For more info, please see the posting here (note, the posting only mentions Portsmouth, but we're looking for roles in Boston and Maidstone as well):

We're looking to hire multiple Software Engineers for roles which will be mostly writing Javascript, both server side (Node.js) and client side. You do not need any Javascript experience to apply (we've hired many people without it) we find it easier to teach good engineers Javascript then to teach Javascript developers good software engineering skills.

We're hiring developers for our Spark Enhance product: http://www.sorensonmedia.com/spark/enhance/

We work in an Agile environment with daily Scrums, Retrospectives and 2 week sprints (though some teams have been experimenting with Kanban) and a real focus on the Engineering department owning the Engineering processes which means you get to spend your time writing code and have the autonomy to try changes to the processes and see if they work.

We're looking for multiple engineers with a range of experience levels (from recent grads to Senior Developers) so I can't specify specific salaries but I think they tend to be higher than most other Cardiff companies.

If any of this sounds interesting then feel free to contact me at mgrover@sorensonmedia.com with any questions, CVs, github profiles etc.

Thanks - Matt

## Positions

WHY WORK FOR US? Because the team is incredible. A-players on the tech, design, and business side. Tons of talent without blustery egos or corporate politics. Every day is a joy.

Come work with me: john@knowledgehound.com

We're hiring a full-time remote dev to focus on our document/data analysis & processing stack.

DocumentCloud is a collaborative tool for analyzing and publishing documents. Journalists have used DocumentCloud in world-changing reporting from the first publicly posted Snowden documents to the Ferguson Grand Jury documents.

We're opening our platform to the public because document analysis isn't just a journalist's problem.

So, your focus with our tech lead (that's me) will be on our document processing capabilities as we implement new ways to extract data from documents, and tighten down the efficiency & scalability of our current tools.

DocumentCloud is a polyglot Rails/Backbone stack, with some processing components written in Java & C++. We do what it takes to turn documents into data, and you're guaranteed to learn a lot on the job!

We write FOSS code that's directly connected to the public good. (We're where Backbone.js & Underscore.js came from & you can check out our other projects here: https://github.com/documentcloud)

Drop us a line at jobs@documentcloud.org

(This is a full-time remote job with excellent benefits & sane expectations of work-life balance.)
