Ask HN: Who is hiring? (February 2017)

Smarkets | Full Time | ONSITE (London, UK; now also Santa Monica, California)

We're a modern betting exchange, going technology first to enable proper price competition in a field of fat commissions. Join a small, agile, and fast-growing team, in our beautiful office in St. Katharine Docks. If our US location tickles your fancy, you get to help setting up a brand new office too.

Smarkets develops a reliable, low-latency, highly concurrent betting exchange based on trading exchange designs. We're also building a fast, modern web interface to allow for a smoother experience. Servicing our users is top priority.

The Smarkets platform is written predominantly on Python and Erlang, and relies heavily on asynchronous programming techniques. We use REST where we can. Life at Smarkets circles around people, version control, configuration management and automation. We can - and do - deploy to production several times a day.

Our entire production is in AWS. In fact, Smarkets was the first gambling operator under the Maltese regulator to get permission to run everything in the cloud. We push the envelope where needed and educate auditors when necessary.

We are looking for:

* Infrastructure Engineers, both junior and senior (think midway between SRE and devops; security background is a bonus)

* An Infrastructure Lead Engineer

* Software Engineers (London, Los Angeles)

* UX/UI Designers

If you like the idea of flat structure and practical engineering approach, see our jobs at https://smarkets.com/careers/ . (A while back I wrote an overview about our engineering challenges, which you can find at https://smarketshq.com/the-challenges-of-running-a-betting-e... .)

Blue Ridge Labs @ Robin Hood | Full Stack Engineer | New York City | Onsite | https://labs.robinhood.org/fellowship/

Our Fellowship helps top developers, designers, product managers, and “experts” (whether that be academic, professional, or people with lived experiences) build new digital tools for low-income New Yorkers. We start with an intensive eight-week Research Phase, delving deeply into the lived experience of people to discover insights that lead to potential product ideas. Followed by an 80-day Build Sprint, where the best ideas a that come out of the Research Phase are tested, validated, and built.

Our previous Fellows, joining us from places like Facebook, Linkedin, Google, Twitter and more, have created new social ventures that fight poverty. Things such as an app that makes using food stamps simple easy and delightful, to a platform that helps renters get things fixed in their apartments. Some of these apps have raised millions in private venture funding, helped hundred of thousands of people, and made a real impact on the world.

It's full time, paid opportunity to build a new social venture from the ground up with a top notch group of peers in a well supported environment.

This year the Fellowship will focus on enabling Senior Citizens and their Caregivers.

Our nation is aging rapidly, but rather than enjoying their golden years, too many seniors find themselves struggling, forced each month to choose between food, medication, or rent. And there has been an alarming rise in the number of seniors who are homeless or relying on food banks.

In New York City, the number of seniors is projected to increase to nearly 1.9 million by 2030, making it the fastest-growing population. Unfortunately, seniors struggle disproportionately with access to benefits, health issues, and affordable housing.

One out of every six seniors relies on emergency food

One out of five lives below the poverty line

One out of four has limited mobility

Many face these challenges alone. In 2014, 32 percent of persons age 65 and over, and nearly half of persons 85 and older in New York City lived alone. In addition, seniors who live alone have the second highest poverty rate (among all older households).

We think technology has a part to play.

We are looking for excellent, full stack engineers who want to put their skills to work to make the world a better place.
