San Francisco - Heyday - http://hey.co We are building a lifelog for people to remember and share the story of their lives, automatically, beautifully, and privately. Two months ago, we launched here on Hacker News [ https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6858373 ]. Here's what some of you guys said: - "Wow. I rarely download this stuff. But the fact that it claims to be automatic piqued my interest. After downloading…

Are you also looking to hire interns? I love Heyday, and I'd love to be able to work with you guys to make it better. I'm mostly interested in HCI, UI/UX and Front-end Development. Thanks!

Currently, we aren't actively hiring interns.

Secret Local: HALF-TIME/FULL-TIME/INTERN

Portland, OR or New York, NY

Hey guys... We got a great response on this back in January and now we are expanding.... So here is an updated version now that we are a team of two hiring.

Hey, HN. One of you is perfect for this idea.

We are two serial entrepreneurs currently trapped in the professions of being a freelance contractor. We have relatively stable 40 hour a week projects, and incoming projects as well that I generally can't take due to lack of resources (time, the most precious one)

So here's the idea. You. Are interesting and have some experience in coding (webapps, mobile, whatever) would be a coding apprentice. I would give you a guaranteed 20 hour a week gig for now, and flex additional work as it comes in and you are available. (also now looking for 40 hours)

You would work on entrepreneurial ideas and contracts and get paid for doing so. If something took off the ground we could negotiate revenue/equity, but no matter what you will be getting paid.

Here is what you get. Money Freedom and Flexibility (need the day off to deal with a hangover because you are in college and its friday?) Real World Education Ability to become a killer coder and whatever else. we are pretty flexible

Languages? Python/Ruby Obj-C Javascript(Node) You name it. If you can show competency in some language we currently do, then we can work together and you can get paid to learn and become an expert at any other languages as required.

About us, your 'bosses'. Boss #1 (Portland Office) Early 30s. Built several large-scale enterprise applications used by Fortune 500 companies. Lead engineering and product for a VC-funded healthcare startup. Last company built infrastructure that stored over 1 billion objects and transferred hundreds thousand objects per day.

Currently living in PDX (Inner SE) and renting a space at a co-working facility. Open to having you work here, or at my house. I prefer day hours, 10-6pm PST, but I am flexible.

Boss #2 (New York Office) Late 20s. Been in and out of various startups. Started ideas from scratch. Reasonably connected in the 'valley'. No stranger to a term sheet. I have done hiring for a YC company. Been on both the business and engineering side of places.

Currently living in NYC (manhattan) with enough room for you to come clock hours, but you can be remote as well, or both. I have been travelling a lot because it means that working 9-5 EST is a much more reasonable 12-8 or even sometimes 9pm - 5am.

I like tinkering with OSS and hardware too, obsessed with gadgets.

============== tl;dr Long story short, you will get paid to learn how to code in the real world, become an entrepreneur or freelancer (or both) and then hopefully be able to repeat this process.

You'll get hands on attention and code reviews without some PM breathing down your neck. (unless you are working on a project that requires it).

We'll figure out a good hourly rate, and when you are working on a project that is paid, probably double it. And then fall back to the normal rate when we are working on whatever random ideas I want to incubate.

email hn0314@boun.cr with a little bit about yourself, a resume if you have it, and most importantly either a github or code sample.

Togethera (http://togethera.com) - Remote (London preferred)

We’re building the easiest way for families to stay connected through private sharing of thoughts, photos and videos. We're just getting started, but already have users who tell us that Togethera: "is enriching our lives" and "bringing our family closer together even though we're scattered across the world", “I’d be very disappointed if Togethera wasn’t there tomorrow”. Some of those users are 90-year old grandparents and some young children - both using connected devices to share with those closest to them for the first time.

We have big plans and are backed by impressive angel investors in London and the U.S. - most are successful entrepreneurs themselves.

Our product is driven by a RESTful API built in Python and Django. The web front-end runs on AngularJS and we’re currently working on our mobile apps running on Phonegap for Android and full native for iOS.

We’re hiring for two roles: 1) a versatile developer who’s comfortable with our stack and an expert in front-end development, and 2) an Android engineer who is obsessed with building the absolute best user experience that Android can provide.

PERKS & CULTURE

We've worked with excellent contractors for our MVP, and we're now looking for people who are ready to commit to a startup and (if possible) join us in London. You'll have real influence on the product, strategy, team and culture with the freedom and responsibility to turn plans and ideas into reality.

We believe that you need to work when and how you’re most productive to deliver results, so we have flexible work hours and don’t count your days off (insist you take at least 22 of them per year).

You'll help define our company culture and decide what perks would interest you - conference/travel budget, ideal workstation setup, free lunch...?

We want our team to share in the success of the company, so you can choose a combination of cash and equity to suit your financial situation.

If you're not in London, but are happy to move here from somewhere else in the UK/Europe, then we'll help you with expenses, finding accommodation and settling in.

To apply please send us an email at jobs@togethera.com with a bit about yourself and products you’ve built.
