Ask HN: Who is hiring? (April 2016)

Westfield Labs | San Francisco | ONSITE | http://www.westfieldlabs.com

We're hiring across a range of engineering positions. But the coolest is definitely this one:

"Contribute to a next generation JavaScript library for indoor mapping, which utilizes WebGL, physics, indoor positioning, and wayfinding. The engineer will be responsible for adding new features and apply performance improvements to the existing code base. You will solve challenging problems like applying performant collision detection algorithms for UI elements, or creating a solution for turn-by-turn directions. We are changing the game for indoor mapping, positioning, and wayfinding, as well as some top-secret research ideas (Pst - there will be robots).

Onfleet, San Francisco, On-site, Lead Mobile Engineer

We’re looking for a top-notch lead mobile engineer to take our iOS and Android apps to the next level. Substantial experience (2+ years) with both iOS and Android is a must. A deep understanding of mission-critical, location-based applications (especially the challenges around global use) is a huge plus.

We're building a modular platform that solves the hard technical problems around fleets of mobile workforces (e.g. route optimization, simplified dispatch UX/UI, real-time location tracking, driver mobile apps for multiple platforms). We provide an end-to-end solution for assigning work, tracking drivers and driver performance, and providing a delightful end-user experience with automatic SMS updates including accurate ETAs and a map to track deliveries en route. Onfleet powers hundreds of thousands of deliveries every month, for hundreds of businesses around the world.

Our backend is built using the latest technologies, including Node.js, Redis, Postgres, MongoDB, and WebSockets. Our product is mission-critical, so reliability and stability are essential. Our mobile apps use the latest frameworks and must be extremely robust in all types of device and connectivity situations. Our customers’ drivers see our apps as their most essential work tool and spend much of their day interacting with them.

As our third engineering hire, and only dedicated mobile engineer, you will work very closely with our product-focused founding team to bring a perfect delivery management experience to SMBs and other delivery-centric tech companies, enabling them to scale their businesses and delight their customers. We’ve recently passed the 1M delivery mark and are growing aggressively on all fronts month over month.
