Hey HN, I'm Garrett Wu, CTO of Likelihood. I’m posting because we’re hiring front end engineers. To give you an idea of what you’d do, you'll be working on a algorithmic design tool that helps traditional retailers create more personalized experiences. Likelihood has launched a creative new way for retailers to design and display personalized, brand-rich content directly in their sites, apps, and emails through our “intelligent creative” product. Our stack is react, node, postgres, and java.
It's no fun to waste time applying for a job that isn't a good fit, so I'm happy to chat with you on the phone to give you more information.
We may have already answered your questions about us on http://www.likelihood.com/front-end-engineer.html. It covers hiring process, engineering culture, and the project you might work on with us.
Interested? Email me and mention you’re from HN. No need to send a resume—I’d like to hear about what you’ve been working on lately, and feel free to include any relevant project links.
Yours, Garrett Wu CTO, Likelihood [email protected] http://www.likelihood.com/front-end-engineer.html

We're a small team (18 people!) of engineers, designers, and product builders that were brought in to help fix HealthCare.gov in the winter of 2013. Since then, we've been working with the government to improve the services HealthCare.gov provides. Our revamped Healthcare.gov application is used by millions, converts 35% better, and halves the completion time.
It turns out there’s a lot more to build, and it’s surprising how much can be done by a small group of empathetic people with a Silicon Valley mindset, deep technical experience, working closely with dedicated civil servants in government.
We’ve started Nava as a public benefit corporation to radically improve how our government serves its people, and we believe that the services our government provides should be clear and reliable. If you feel the same way, we'd love to hear from you at [email protected]

I'm currently interning at Apple. I'm passionate about prototyping for cameras as an AR platform, and the opportunity to pursue those ideas taken to the next level with Magic Leap would be incredible. I'm particularly interested in rapid prototyping, software engineering, and UX.

===== Who we are =====
We're a startup driven to improve healthy living and pregnancy outcome using smart wearable devices. We have our headquarters in San Francisco, as well as offices in both Belgium and in the Netherlands where most of our engineering staff is based.
We're currently developing a wearable sensor that pregnant women wear on their belly and which they can use to monitor maternal and fetal health (contractions, heart-rate, fetal kicks, etc.) using their smartphone. We can use this data to predict labor onset and high-risk pregnancies. A Beta version of our product is already available in an early access program in the US, and we are getting very positive feedback from both our customers and medical experts.
===== Who we are looking for =====
We are closing an investment round and are looking for talented people with experience and interest in:
* iOS mobile development.
We are still a small engineering team, so we're looking for someone versatile and quick to pick up new skills. Because we’re a startup with people in different continents, we need people who can be independent and flexible, but also offer flexibility concerning your work schedule, location, and holidays.
===== Interested? =====

We're building new services and products and we're looking for:
1. Full stack web developers (Python, Javascript and PHP) to build REST APIs for hosted telephony applications, appliance auto-provisioning, realtime statistics dashboards and monitoring for highly loaded telecom systems etc.
2. Core developers (C/C++/Python) to extend our protocol stacks, write telecom applications, extend and improve OSS projects such as Asterisk/FreeSWITCH, etc.
3. Lab automation developers (Python) to extend our infrastructure and automation testing frameworks.
All positions require strong Linux knowledge and great communication skills. Experience with telephony and/or audio/video is not required but a great asset.

I'm an early employee at Smartcar. I joined in the fall last year after parting ways with a $3M VC-backed startup I cofounded 5 years ago. When I was job hunting, I was specifically looking at industries that were going to change dramatically in the next decade like eSports, VR, insurance and transportation.
Transportation is that massive one (9% of GDP). The future of transportation is Autonomous, Electric, Shared and Connected. Smartcar is building the "connected" part of it.
Great investors, founders and early team. We just brought 3 more engineers on the team last month but looking to get 2 more with 2+ years of experience immediately. Our stack is Node.js, Postgres, Redis, Docker, AWS.
$95K to $130K + up to 1.0% equity

At DroneDeploy we have built a software platform that autonomously flies drones and efficiently captures petabytes of imagery in over 140 countries around in the world. Our platform automatically organizes all that data to geo-reference, align, stitch, blend, ortho-rectify and reconstruct imagery - creating tens of thousands of point clouds, 3D models and mosaics. That data is used to drive high ROI decisions in industry as diverse as construction, agriculture, mining, conservation, forestry, and infrastructure inspection - all in the browser. We're constantly innovating. DroneDeploy is successful because we have world-class team members and a strong passion for making an impact and providing value to out customers.
Our tech stack includes Angular2, TypeScript and Python. We think drones are an integral part of the future of knowledge, and we’re creating the software to make that possible. We're looking for experienced JavaScript and Python engineers. Our interview processing includes a short take home coding exercise and then remote and onsite technical interview with DroneDeploy engineers.

We’re a casual, seven-person software development team based in Orange County, CA (south of Los Angeles). We provide many large apparel brands with intuitive and efficient sales workflows, enabling sales representatives to place bulk orders for brick and mortar stores (i.e. how O’Neill ends up in Tilly’s or how Armada ends up on Backcountry). Our stack includes JavaScript (ES6), TypeScript, C#, ASP.NET, SQL Server, memcached, MongoDB, React.js, and mobx (http://stackshare.io/repspark/repspark).
We are looking for talented engineers who have strong skills in application-level TypeScript/JavaScript. This includes engineers with experience applying design patterns to their code (Module, Sandbox, etc.), implementing modularization, writing unit tests, and optimizing performance.
We think it’s especially awesome if you have experience with modern JavaScript libraries, such as Backbone.js, React.js, Angular.js, Ember.js, Polymer.js, etc. You will work in a highly collaborative, cross-functional, and Agile team and may take a lead role on various software components.
We’re also big on fun. It’s not uncommon to spontaneously jump into a table tennis match. Plus, every Friday we eat and drink together.
Please email [email protected] with applications or questions. We'd love to hear from you!

Help us build a modern, developer-friendly, API platform for banking services. Banks are rife with inefficient, legacy technologies and Byzantine processes. It's frustrating for banks and even more frustrating for their customers. We're a small team of predominantly ex-Standard Treasury [1] engineers working to change that, one API at a time.
We're looking for generalist and backend engineers of all experience levels. Our tech stack is Clojure and Postgres, but no experience with either is required. Our only hard requirement, and preference, is that you have strong software engineering ability (and that you can pass a background check--sorry, but it's a bank requirement).
Our office is in downtown San Francisco. I won't enumerate all the comp and benefits here, but suffice it to say, we try to make both competitive and lucrative. Notably, if you'd like to live in the Bay Area, and don't live here now, we will pay to relocate you!
