Ask HN: Who is hiring? (September 2021)

Fotoquirk Ltd, based in Durham UK, creates innovative visualisation and augmented reality software for mobile devices and the web. We are a small, dynamic and international team aiming to strike the right balance between graphically advanced products and practical solutions which solve actual business problems. We provide visualisation tools for various leading window decorating businesses in the UK and the USA, and ar currently expanding globally.

We are looking for an enthusiastic software developer to work on our mobile development team, initially on project basis but possibly extending to a permanent contract. Our visualisation apps are custom-built layers in Kotlin/Swift/Javascript on top of our proprietary multiplatform C++ visualisation core. They tie into ARCore or ARKit for augmented reality applications, connect to an extensive set of C++ and Python server backends for additional functionality, and are controlled with React portal apps.

This is a remote working job, but you should be prepared to interact on a regular basis with the rest of our team, and be responsive. We offer very competitive rates, depending on qualifications.

Suitable candidates do not necessarily need any formal qualification, and self-taught candidates are explicitly invited to apply, but you should at least have one of:

* experience with Android development and the Android NDK,

* experience with iOS development and SwiftUI,

You should also:

* be able to demonstrate experience with modern C++,

* have an interest in and possibly experience with 3D graphics.

Ability to demonstrate some of the above with e.g. contributions to an open source project is a major plus. We are in particular looking for people with a strong desire and capability to learn new technologies 'on the job'.

Glean is building the most intuitive way for teams to collaborate with data. Our goal is to democratize the large amounts of data that modern teams are collecting and make advanced self-service tooling more attainable for diverse types of organizations. We are a well-funded, highly ambitious New York City startup (though we are open to partially-remote or, in some cases, remote work) with an experienced team! We have early product-market fit and a growing list of paying customers, and we’re looking to hire people who are excited about joining an early-stage startup and helping build a world-class engineering culture. Our compensation package includes a significant share of equity.

We’re an early team so we’re still establishing large parts of our software stack - you will have major ownership over the product and you’ll help us pick the right technologies. We have a culture of autonomy and ownership and want engineers who are excited to drive the company forward. As an early employee you’ll help us craft our culture and will be aware of (or participate in) customer development and goto market.

Open Diffix is a source-available project spun off from Aircloak, a company that developed and sells a start-of-the-art data anonymization solution. Open Diffix aims to adapt the Aircloak tech as both a PostgreSQL extension and as simple, stand-alone applications.

Open Diffix is supported by the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems, and currently has budget through to November 2023. We expect to secure continued funding in the interim.

We are looking for a particular kind of person.

You like to work independently, you are pragmatic, and you have the confidence to take on hard problems lacking a detailed spec. You enjoy working on a variety of languages, from low-level C to functional or multi-paradigm languages. You are able to simplify or bypass over-engineered solutions. Chances are things will change down the line and changing something simple, or better yet something that was never made, is much easier than changing a monstrosity. You should not need or want anyone breathing down your neck to be productive.

Much of our system is written in C and F#, but we have parts written in TypeScript / React as well. Knowledge of functional programming is a plus and experience with web development is not going to hurt either. We do not specifically look for someone with skills in our particular stack. It is our experience that people who are smart tend to pick up the required tools very quickly.

There are countless challenging things to do in this job. They range from parsing SQL, to GUI design, to low-level C functions, to ensuring that all results produced are safe and fully anonymous, irrespective of the level of deviousness on the part of the attackers accessing the system.

Our team is small, fully remote and dispersed across Europe.
