Weft - http://weft.io - Cambridge/Boston, MA (office is in central sq.)
===========================
====== What we do =========
===========================
Strategic Maritime Risk Planning (waze for ships, https://www.waze.com/)! We’re working in the largest, least sexy, most invisible industry in the world — 90% of everything has been on a ship at one point in time.
The problem -> To try to decrease costs, carries have been increasing the size of container ships. The only problem there is that as container ships get larger, the variability in the global supply chain goes up (e.g. a large ship being late causes a headache to more people than a small one).
How we fix it -> We track every ship on the water and run a bunch of analysis on our data sets so that we can help our customers smooth out the rough edges. (One company we're working with spends 6.5 mil every month on “late fees” because of these rough edges).
===========================
===== How we do it ========
===========================
Web/data stack -> clojure + postgres/cassandra/redis/rabbit + ruby on rails + hadoop/EMR + node (we’re a SOA shop)
Mobile -> iOS, android in the near term
Algorithms -> a dizzying mixture of oldschool and newschool techniques ;-)
===========================
====== And the rest =======
===========================
We've got some very interesting partners and customers (ranging from telcos to enterprise software providers to regional and international logistics companies). We also have some top tier investors (a16z)!
Looking for help on mobile, frontend, and data science sides! Would be thrilled to find a CTO to grow the tech side of the company with me, but I'm also happy to find engineers who just want to build great things.
If this sounds interesting, please shoot me an email at [email protected]!
We have a 'Who is Hiring' thread over at DataTau (http://www.datatau.com/item?id=3398). Looking for data scientists? Feel free to crosspost there. We have a good chunk of the data science crowd there.
Bloomberg - San Francisco (full-time, no remote, no relo, visa ok)
I am looking for the first few individuals to join a team of two building something special in SF. Bootstrapping a team from scratch requires a type of person who thrives in a startup atmosphere and can wear many hats. Ideal candidates have had plenty of experience scaling up or building large distributed systems and/or building products for developers with a large user base. Full-time Bloomberg LP employment with generous benefits and compensation commensurate with experience.
Who we are:
We run a worldwide network with somewhere around 35,000 circuits in 180+ countries. We ingest anywhere from 45-60 billion "ticks" daily aggregate from feeds in all of these countries. We normalize, scrub, and then re-distribute all this data to customers in all of those countries in an efficient manner. The Terminal provides analytic and visualization tools to work with market data, as well as the same tools to work with news and alerts. On the news side, we ingest over 80,000 news feeds (e.g. WSJ would be one "feed") from around the world and do the same kind of processing, applying ML for sentiment and topic classification, machine translation, etc. The web side (bloomberg.com, businessweek.com, Government, Law, etc) uses mostly Rails stacks and everything you would expect to find in a web shop.

IBM Watson - www.ibm.com/watsonjobs - many locations
Watson Group is IBM's $1B dollar bet on the cognitive computing space building upon the Watson technology developed for the now famous Jeopardy challenge.
If you have talent, skills and experience in the areas of:
* NLP,
* ML, and
* Cloud Services,
we invite you to join a team that is working on ground-breaking and exciting projects.
We have aggressive growth plans and are looking to hire over 300 researchers and developers in 2014 alone!
Working @ Watson means:
- Working first-hand with renowned industry leaders in NLP, ML, Speech Recognition
- Contributing to products that have meaningful impact e.g. helping find cancer cure, helping doctors diagnose and treat patients better, helping people make wise investment decisions etc.
- Having IBM's deep customer base and R&D investment behind you
We are hiring mostly in the US – Watson Group HQ are in East Village NYC (checkout our new headquarters http://www.ibm.com/smarterplanet/us/en/ibmwatson/watson-hq.h...)
In addition, we have openings in NY, Boston, Raleigh, Pittsburgh, Austin, Prague and Dublin.

Check out all the openings at www.ibm.com/watsonjobs for a variety of positions including cloud developer, software engineer, dev-ops engineer and many more.
I don't see any jobs in Prague in the list, am I looking wrong?
Also, I have background in (research) AI, reasoning, semantic web, and experience (software engineering) around hadoop and search/information retrieval, (education): machine learning, medical informatics, biology of the cell. I see many possible matches in the US-based jobs. Is there an option for a broader application where you would suggest a good match?
Would it be possible to perform some of the roles offered for US in continental Europe or truly remotely?
Are all of IBM's operations at the Watson center in Yorktown Heights moving to Manhattan or are these really two separate groups? I ask as someone who is interested in applying.
Contract and full-time positions - currently seeking front-end, node, and scala/java developers.
We are an elite consultancy called Twin Technologies. We're about 25 FTEs and 40 contractors. I settled here after working in multiple startups, contracting for a larger consultancy, and even co-running my own consultancy and incubator. I came back to Twin after a year hiatus because this is really as good as it gets. The leadership is fantastic, and work-life balance is deeply ingrained in the culture. On top of that, I can honestly say that I enjoy working with my entire team and look forward to our three yearly get-togethers.
We're very selective with who we hire, but if you're reading this then it's a good start that you're on Hacker News. We've got some big projects in the pipeline and need to find the right people to join us ASAP. Drop us a line if you're interested. Also drop me a line is you have any general questions about tech consulting. Write to [email protected] and please include "HN" in the subject.
Twin Technologies, Inc… REMOTE in the US (Prefer people in DC/Baltimore/Albany or Philly area, but open to US), www.twintechs.com.
Twin Technologies, Inc. is a technology consulting services firm using software to help organizations achieve new heights in productivity and profit while strengthening brand and image. We feature business optimization solutions that optimize company-to-consumer conversations, workflows and transactions; digital media management and collaboration solutions delivering video across multiple channels and devices; and user experience design that unlocks rich and intuitive user experiences.
Factual is currently hiring engineers and data lovers of all levels in the SF Bay Area, Los Angeles, and Shanghai.
Factual’s location platform enriches mobile location signals with definitive global data, enabling personalized and contextually relevant mobile experiences. Built from billions of inputs, the data is constantly updated by Factual’s real-time data stack. We were named one of "50 Disruptive Companies in 2013" by MIT Technology Review. We have a terrific team that is still fairly small and an incredible CEO who was previously the co-founder of Applied Semantics (which was bought by Google and became AdSense). Factual has venture funding from Andreessen-Horowitz and our partners/customers include Facebook, Yelp, Trulia, and Newsweek.
There are many challenging problems to work on at all layers of the stack: data cleaning and canonicalization, storage, deduping, serving, APIs, improving data using machine learning, etc. A great example is one of our most recent products, Geopulse Audience, which stands at the intersection of high quality places data and large scale analysis of user geo-data: http://www.factual.com/products/geopulse-audience . If you love data, Factual is the place to be. Our main criteria are that you're smart and get things done, but you'll get bonus points for experience with Clojure (http://www.factual.com/jobs/clojure), machine learning, NLP, algorithm design, or Hadoop.
Periscope is a data analysis tool that uses pre-emptive in-memory caching and statistical sampling to run data analyses really, really fast. Customers typically see a 100x-10,000x speedup of their analysis queries on the day they install.
We also write the popular High-Performance SQL Blog (https://periscope.io/blog) which gets tens of thousands of monthly uniques, and espouses our marketing philosophy of helping analysts wherever we can, whether or not they end up buying.
We’re hiring marketers, designers and engineers! See:
We’re a team of 4 ex-Google and Microsoft engineers and PMs. We have venture funding, paying customers, > 25% m/m revenue growth, and a spacious loft apartment in SF to work out of.
I'm hiring for two founder-level roles at StoryWorth: Head of Marketing and Partnerships, and Head of Community.
StoryWorth makes it easy for people to privately record their family stories. Each week, we email our customers a question about their life, for example “What do you remember about your grandmother?” or “Tell me about the day you got engaged”. All they have to do is reply with a story, either by email or by phone. We save their stories and share them privately with their family.
We have a launched product with paying customers across the country who love our service. This is an opportunity to be part of the founding team that is going to help every family in the world record their story for generations to come.
You're a good fit for these roles if you crave a ton of responsibility on a small team. You'll get to define your strategy, and then you'll actually get to execute on it. If you're the kind of person who learns by doing, you'll be learning faster than ever before.
If you're interested in either position, I'd be happy to tell you more about each specific role. Send me a short note about yourself at [email protected], I can't wait to hear from you!
We are the most popular package manager for Node.js and we're completely rebuilding and redesigning our website. We want somebody who cares a lot about CSS and HTML to join our team as our second full-time front-end developer, working with a world-class design firm to make our site more useful for the millions of JavaScript developers who visit it.
We are not a typical early stage startup. We believe that working sensible hours and taking care of ourselves and our loved ones is the best way to ensure long-term productivity. We care deeply about making tech a more inclusive and diverse place.
npm is an open-source project, including our website.
"We care deeply about making tech a more inclusive and diverse place."
If we assume that other companies listed here will abide by employment law i.e. non-discrimination in hiring, what is your selling point? That you care more than other companies do? That you engage in diversity outreach programs?
Or are you sending a subtle message that white heterosexual male programmers who like watching sports need not apply?
Given that the Gnome foundation ran out of money because they diverted donations to women's outreach, rather than focusing on the core mission of programming, I think it's fair to ask especially as your founder was embroiled in a controversy over gender neutral pronouns, if you intend npm to be a pure technology company or some kind of activist organization?
Khan Academy — Mountain View, CA (we also love interns, and remote is a possibility)
We're a small, non-profit tech startup bringing a free, world-class education to anyone, anywhere.
Here's a testimonial we received last wweek:
==================================
I just want to thank you soooo very much in high school it was very hard for me and I hated studying also even thou my mother told me it would help me I never listened and now I am in college and this website helps me so much with algebra/health and so much more when I start working again I want to give back to you for helping me out in college and becoming a Doctor because you can never say never :)
==================================
Every month we get hundreds of letters like this from people in all walks of life who are thankful for our free, high-quality educational content. Most of you reading this are familiar with Sal's videos, but we also have hundreds of videos by other teachers, partnerships with organizations like MoMA and the California Academy of Sciences, and a huge library of interactive exercises. Over 20 million math problems are done every week on our site.
You'll be part of a small team working alongside both "celebrity" devs (like jQuery creator John Resig and Google's first employee Craig Silverstein) and many more who you haven't heard of but who are also really awesome.
We're especially looking for new product designers (of all types) but we also have many engineering positions open as well as some positions for a teacher and contract question writers.
Apply at https://www.khanacademy.org/careers and mention that you're coming from HN. Feel free to email me at [email protected] if you have questions about applying or about KA in general. Unfortunately we can't sponsor visas right now unless you're from Canada, Australia, or Mexico.
Don't take me wrong, I really appreciate Khan and I've learned quite a bit from his videos, but I am not seeing the technical challenges in running the website. My opinion is the challenge with Khan's academy is not a technical one, but how to scale the teachers/presenters. Khan is a great teacher, very knowledgable and engaging, but how do you find people like him to take over the other subjects.

Lovely, San Francisco: http://livelovely.com. Looking for smart, relatively senior devs and designers. No remote, but we'll pay relocation expenses if you're not local and we've sponsored two H1Bs so far.
We're the prettiest entrant in a traditionally un-pretty industry: real estate. This is an entrenched industry that is overdue for some innovation, and it's a great opportunity to work on improving the difficult experience of finding a home. Your rent payment is probably the biggest bill you pay every month.
It's a great time to join because we've recently hit an inflection point, especially in SF where it's hard to find an apartment. We're on Lifehacker regularly, featured in last month's WIRED magazine, and 7x7 named us one of the top startups changing the world.
We're just over 20 people right now but we're growing as fast as we can find people. We just signed a lease for our first office by ourselves, a gorgeous 6000sqft building.
I run engineering -- ex-YC, Django dev, been in the real estate space most of my life. I'd be happy to answer any of your questions: [email protected].
Two questions:
1 Do you support anywhere outside of SF?
2 Do you support someone without a credit score?
I ask because I think the product you have is sorely lacking in many, many areas, and is a great idea!
And I ask about the credit score as growing numbers of people are ditching credit cards and other forms of loans in favor of good ol' cash and checks.
Work on a product you'll be actively using every day
We use node.js, rails, redis, mongoDB, capistrano, chef and EC2
We're a design & data-driven organization.
Recently raised a $5.5m series-A when the company was just 2 people led by the early investors in Mint.com, Google and Box - Felicis, PivotNorth, Founder Collective and AngelPad.
Located in SOMA, San Francisco near 4th and Bryant. Just a 5 minute walk from Caltrain.

hi Matt,
Hall sounds like a great company to work for.
I am an experienced software developer looking for opportunities in the Bay area. I am currently working at Qualcomm- Modem software division. At this point in my career, I really want to break into the mobile / web development, but it has proven not easy- given that my experience is primarily with firmware / embedded device programming.
I do, however, have a strong foundation in CS fundamentals: algorithms, data structures, good coding practices. I also have a lot of experience in all aspects of the software development life cycle (requirements, design, implementation and testing), having implemented and maintained high-quality software that are deployed on billions of mobile devices around the world.
I have taken initiatives on my own to learn about web and mobile development. Last summer, I took Startup Engineering class on Coursera which taught front-end and back-end technologies, built a website on my own in a month (~10,000 lines of code), earned a place in the final projects rankings, and a distinction for passing the class at 97% grade. I am also signing up for Android programming class on the same platform.
I am an extremely fast learner and am eager to learn whatever necessary, including new languages and technologies, to get the jobs done.
Please let me know if you are interested. You can reach me at 858-405-8831 or [email protected]
We are a rapidly expanding mobile-focused B2B media startup. We have a staff of writers and editors who provide breaking news and original analysis for executives in industries like Education, Marketing, Energy, and Retail. See http://www.retaildive.com for example.
We're hiring for a number of positions:
- Audience Development Manager
- Digital Media Sales Associate
- Full Time Business Writer/Editor
- Freelance business writers (can be remote)
- Django/Python Developer (job ad not posted yet)
- Design Interns, Devleoper Interns, and Editorial Interns
Most of these are on http://www.industrydive.com/company/jobs/ but feel free to reach out with any questions or if you think you'd be a good addition to the team, but don't see a specific opening. eli-at-industrydive-com
PHP/Back end or Front-End Developer INTERN - Washington DC
The agency I work for, Engage (http://enga.ge), is looking for fall developer interns. We do everything from WordPress sites to our own products to custom web and mobile apps, and most of our work relates to politics/issue advocacy. We're particularly passionate about Internet issues (anti-SOPA advocacy was a big pro bono project for us). Right now we're gearing up to launch a new product so it's a pretty exciting time. Check out our portfolio here: http://enga.ge/work/.
Anyway, we are looking for a college student with back or front-end talent (PHP/MySQL or Javascript/HTML/CSS). Must be in the DC area or willing to relocate; foreigners welcome as long as you can secure a visa on your own (usually J-1 or F-1).
Also, note that we treat our interns well and hire them. In fact, one of our current developers used to intern here, as did I. And, management doesn't really care if you have side projects, which is always nice.
To apply, please send me an email directly to [email protected] with the subject "Developer intern from Hacker News" (I'm the technical project manager). Include your resume, GitHub/portfolio link and a brief description of why you want to work with us. Hope to hear from you!

Smarkets, London, Software Engineer, Python, Erlang & Mobile
Smarkets is disrupting the global betting industry by offering a modern betting exchange with significantly lower transaction fees than the competition. We're a well-funded company with a small, agile development team, and our platform has handled over £500 million of bets. Smarkets has been featured in publications such as Wired, The Wall Street Journal and TechCrunch and was recently selected as part of the Startups 100.
We're building a reliable, low-latency exchange system to facilitate automated traded strategies, as well as a fast, modern web interface. Our team constantly works on significant, challenging software engineering problems; if you're fed up of writing yet another boring CMS, we might be able to help. The Smarkets platform is written predominantly in Python and Erlang, and relies heavily on asynchronous programming techniques and REST. We make extensive use of version control, configuration management and automated testing, which allows us to reliably deploy code to production several times a day.
Our team builds on a modern, open-source software stack which includes Linux, Vagrant, Flask, Eventlet, PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ, ElasticSearch, Graphite, Chef and Git.
For more info: http://info.smarkets.com/about/jobs/
We're a startup trying to reinvent retail so men can dress well without being subject to the horrors of the high street or having to trawl through millions of items online. We do this using a combination of powerful algorithms and human stylists.
You'd be joining a small, highly technical team with a ton of startup experience (the founders have started and sold 2 companies before). You'll be one of the first technical hires and get to build and own huge parts of the product and work on the core algorithms.
One of our ancillary goals is to build one of the best engineering cultures anywhere, and we'd love you to help us do that. We launched in October and user and revenue numbers are scaling extremely quickly. We're backed by a collection of the top investors from London and Silicon Valley as well as Y Combinator.
We're especially interested in people who are interested in founding their own startup one day. We view working at Thread as a founder bootcamp where you'll learn about all parts of starting and growing a startup.

I'm hiring for two founder-level roles at StoryWorth: Head of Marketing and Partnerships, and Head of Community.
StoryWorth makes it easy for people to privately record their family stories. Each week, we email our customers a question about their life, for example “What do you remember about your grandmother?” or “Tell me about the day you got engaged”. All they have to do is reply with a story, either by email or by phone. We save their stories and share them privately with their family.
We have a launched product with paying customers across the country who love our service. This is an opportunity to be part of the founding team that is going to help every family in the world record their story for generations to come.
You're a good fit for these roles if you crave a ton of responsibility on a small team. You'll get to define your strategy, and then you'll actually get to execute on it. If you're the kind of person who learns by doing, you'll be learning faster than ever before.
If you're interested in either position, I'd be happy to tell you more about each specific role. Send me a short note about yourself at [email protected], I can't wait to hear from you!

We are the most popular package manager for Node.js and we're completely rebuilding and redesigning our website. We want somebody who cares a lot about CSS and HTML to join our team as our second full-time front-end developer, working with a world-class design firm to make our site more useful for the millions of JavaScript developers who visit it.
We are not a typical early stage startup. We believe that working sensible hours and taking care of ourselves and our loved ones is the best way to ensure long-term productivity. We care deeply about making tech a more inclusive and diverse place.
npm is an open-source project, including our website.

If we assume that other companies listed here will abide by employment law i.e. non-discrimination in hiring, what is your selling point? That you care more than other companies do? That you engage in diversity outreach programs?
Or are you sending a subtle message that white heterosexual male programmers who like watching sports need not apply?
Given that the Gnome foundation ran out of money because they diverted donations to women's outreach, rather than focusing on the core mission of programming, I think it's fair to ask especially as your founder was embroiled in a controversy over gender neutral pronouns, if you intend npm to be a pure technology company or some kind of activist organization?

We're a small, non-profit tech startup bringing a free, world-class education to anyone, anywhere.
Here's a testimonial we received last wweek:
==================================
I just want to thank you soooo very much in high school it was very hard for me and I hated studying also even thou my mother told me it would help me I never listened and now I am in college and this website helps me so much with algebra/health and so much more when I start working again I want to give back to you for helping me out in college and becoming a Doctor because you can never say never :)
==================================
Every month we get hundreds of letters like this from people in all walks of life who are thankful for our free, high-quality educational content. Most of you reading this are familiar with Sal's videos, but we also have hundreds of videos by other teachers, partnerships with organizations like MoMA and the California Academy of Sciences, and a huge library of interactive exercises. Over 20 million math problems are done every week on our site.
You'll be part of a small team working alongside both "celebrity" devs (like jQuery creator John Resig and Google's first employee Craig Silverstein) and many more who you haven't heard of but who are also really awesome.
We're especially looking for new product designers (of all types) but we also have many engineering positions open as well as some positions for a teacher and contract question writers.
Apply at https://www.khanacademy.org/careers and mention that you're coming from HN. Feel free to email me at [email protected] if you have questions about applying or about KA in general. Unfortunately we can't sponsor visas right now unless you're from Canada, Australia, or Mexico.

We're the prettiest entrant in a traditionally un-pretty industry: real estate. This is an entrenched industry that is overdue for some innovation, and it's a great opportunity to work on improving the difficult experience of finding a home. Your rent payment is probably the biggest bill you pay every month.
It's a great time to join because we've recently hit an inflection point, especially in SF where it's hard to find an apartment. We're on Lifehacker regularly, featured in last month's WIRED magazine, and 7x7 named us one of the top startups changing the world.
We're just over 20 people right now but we're growing as fast as we can find people. We just signed a lease for our first office by ourselves, a gorgeous 6000sqft building. I run engineering -- ex-YC, Django dev, been in the real estate space most of my life. I'd be happy to answer any of your questions: [email protected].

I ask because I think the product you have is sorely lacking in many, many areas, and is a great idea! And I ask about the credit score as growing numbers of people are ditching credit cards and other forms of loans in favor of good ol' cash and checks.

I am an experienced software developer looking for opportunities in the Bay area. I am currently working at Qualcomm- Modem software division. At this point in my career, I really want to break into the mobile / web development, but it has proven not easy- given that my experience is primarily with firmware / embedded device programming.
I do, however, have a strong foundation in CS fundamentals: algorithms, data structures, good coding practices. I also have a lot of experience in all aspects of the software development life cycle (requirements, design, implementation and testing), having implemented and maintained high-quality software that are deployed on billions of mobile devices around the world.
I have taken initiatives on my own to learn about web and mobile development. Last summer, I took Startup Engineering class on Coursera which taught front-end and back-end technologies, built a website on my own in a month (~10,000 lines of code), earned a place in the final projects rankings, and a distinction for passing the class at 97% grade. I am also signing up for Android programming class on the same platform.
I am an extremely fast learner and am eager to learn whatever necessary, including new languages and technologies, to get the jobs done.
Please let me know if you are interested. You can reach me at 858-405-8831 or [email protected]

The agency I work for, Engage (http://enga.ge), is looking for fall developer interns. We do everything from WordPress sites to our own products to custom web and mobile apps, and most of our work relates to politics/issue advocacy. We're particularly passionate about Internet issues (anti-SOPA advocacy was a big pro bono project for us). Right now we're gearing up to launch a new product so it's a pretty exciting time. Check out our portfolio here: http://enga.ge/work/.
Anyway, we are looking for a college student with back or front-end talent (PHP/MySQL or Javascript/HTML/CSS). Must be in the DC area or willing to relocate; foreigners welcome as long as you can secure a visa on your own (usually J-1 or F-1).
Also, note that we treat our interns well and hire them. In fact, one of our current developers used to intern here, as did I. And, management doesn't really care if you have side projects, which is always nice.
To apply, please send me an email directly to [email protected] with the subject "Developer intern from Hacker News" (I'm the technical project manager). Include your resume, GitHub/portfolio link and a brief description of why you want to work with us. Hope to hear from you!

Smarkets is disrupting the global betting industry by offering a modern betting exchange with significantly lower transaction fees than the competition. We're a well-funded company with a small, agile development team, and our platform has handled over £500 million of bets. Smarkets has been featured in publications such as Wired, The Wall Street Journal and TechCrunch and was recently selected as part of the Startups 100.
We're building a reliable, low-latency exchange system to facilitate automated traded strategies, as well as a fast, modern web interface. Our team constantly works on significant, challenging software engineering problems; if you're fed up of writing yet another boring CMS, we might be able to help. The Smarkets platform is written predominantly in Python and Erlang, and relies heavily on asynchronous programming techniques and REST. We make extensive use of version control, configuration management and automated testing, which allows us to reliably deploy code to production several times a day.
Our team builds on a modern, open-source software stack which includes Linux, Vagrant, Flask, Eventlet, PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ, ElasticSearch, Graphite, Chef and Git. For more info: http://info.smarkets.com/about/jobs/

We're a startup trying to reinvent retail so men can dress well without being subject to the horrors of the high street or having to trawl through millions of items online. We do this using a combination of powerful algorithms and human stylists.
You'd be joining a small, highly technical team with a ton of startup experience (the founders have started and sold 2 companies before). You'll be one of the first technical hires and get to build and own huge parts of the product and work on the core algorithms.
One of our ancillary goals is to build one of the best engineering cultures anywhere, and we'd love you to help us do that. We launched in October and user and revenue numbers are scaling extremely quickly. We're backed by a collection of the top investors from London and Silicon Valley as well as Y Combinator.
We're especially interested in people who are interested in founding their own startup one day. We view working at Thread as a founder bootcamp where you'll learn about all parts of starting and growing a startup.
