I have worked as a full stack engineer who also dabbles in devops for the last 3 years. My best asset is my ability to learn and adapt quickly which has helped me solved a varied set of challenges. I have built large micro-service backends, tackled large ETL problems, crafted hardware and software for dealing with lots of HD video, optimized full stacks to operate at scale, and engineered complete automation and monitoring of it all running on EC2.

I am looking for a position where I can have a large impact and work with really smart people that I can learn from. I don't much care about the size of the company, but the organizations that will be most appealing to me will have a solid pedigree and have shown that they are viable.

If you are interested in talking more, it would be really helpful to me if you included a description of what problem you are trying to solve, who your investors are, what stage your company is in, and a short description of your engineering process and team.

[astangl]

Location: St. Louis, MO

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies: Clojure, Java, JEE, JSF, JavaScript, C, C++, Haskell

Résumé: http://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://raw.githubusercontent....

Email: [email protected]

GitHub: https://github.com/astangl

I'm a strong Java developer wanting to transition to Clojure. In 14 years as a senior Java developer, mentor, and team lead, I mastered many associated technology stacks. Coworkers and friends look to me for programming advice and assistance in solving complex problems. I relish challenging projects. I strive to write exceptionally clean code, along with suites of thorough unit and integration tests.

I am looking for an opportunity to do more functional programming, ideally in Clojure. Although I have not used Clojure professionally, I solved all 150 problems on the 4Clojure.com website, and am well on the way to proficiency. I worked the problems from the first two chapters of the classic SICP in both Clojure and Haskell, and am reading Clojure books (and a style guide) to learn good idiomatic Clojure.

Besides using Java in my job, I write a lot of JavaScript, and also automate routine tasks using scripts written in Perl, Ruby, Python, and shell scripts. As part of continually honing my skills, in my free time I experiment with many languages, including Lisp, Erlang, OCaml, Haskell, Scala, and Clojure. Also I have begun Android development in my free time, initially with Eclipse, but now Android Studio. I have Github repos with some Haskell examples, and have solved over 100 Project Euler problems using Haskell. I also maintain several FreeBSD ports and do technical reviews for O'Reilly. Currently I am doing a technical review of an upcoming Clojure book.

I get excited at the prospect of working on interesting and challenging problems, and on systems that impact large numbers of people. Getting to develop in Clojure would also be a big plus. I have experience working remotely, and with my background and abilities, I will be an asset to your team.

[wyclif]

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: Yes

Technologies: Linux, Python, Django, PostgreSQL, Vagrant, HTML/CSS, bash/zsh, SSH. Want to learn: Ruby, JavaScript

Résumé/CV: on request

Email: [email protected]

I'm looking for an entry-level or junior dev position and a career change from a civil engineering background and I'm most interested in DevOps and backend. I'm comfortable on the CLI and with vim, git, etc. I want to get my foot in the door in this industry with an established company where there are experienced people willing to take me under their wing while I improve my skill set in return for me working hard for you. My university work was in the liberal arts (I don't have a CS degree), and I'm willing to do the work necessary—on my own time—to get up to speed with remedial CS and algorithm knowledge on nights and weekends. I have excellent soft skills, and I'm easily in the 99th percentile of English fluency and written communication. If you need good documentation, technical writing, or even web copy, I can definitely help you with that if you're willing to carve out time for me in exchange for a willingness to help me with my programming chops and technical development. In essence I'm not a 'ninja' or a 'rockstar' and I know it, but I'm hungry to level up.

An unicorn for hire :)

I am a strong technology entrepreneurship generalist with primary area of expertise in business strategy/marketing/advertising. Secondary areas of expertise include SEO, SMM, UX design, lead generation, etc, etc. I learn a lot, both from Coursera/edX and via osmosis from online communities. My professional interests include ecosystems that form around programming languages, frameworks and technological solutions to social problems.

I am NOT a strong developer in any language/technology.

I've cofounded several digital marketing agencies and consulted various local(Ukrainian) startups on business and marketing strategy.

Also worked in marketing at Google Ukraine.

I am mostly interested in combining my skills and working with the business strategy/marketing side of the services and/or products who are targeting developers as their primary customer segment. I would also love to work with non-profits and companies that generate social good.

[147]

Location: Chicago Suburbs Remote: Yes Willing to relocate: No Technologies: Ruby on Rails, Clojure, currently learning Node.js. Resume: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MrGZE4fLJWgyTUAdQhDvRGYZ.... Email: [email protected]

I'm primarily a web developer and I'd like to get hired for a either a front or back end engineering job. But, if you have an interesting position like in security or something, let me know. I have the most experience in Rails and Clojure, and I just started playing with Node.js. However, if you're willing to train me or give me some time to learn, I could pick pretty much anything up for you. Like Go for instance, I'd love to get to work with Go.

If you're a startup or software company, another thing I'd love an opportunity to do is be your patio11. I love analytics and want to learn sales and marketing. I can add a lot of value to your company in this way. Give me an analytics dashboard and let me do some sql queries and we can set up emails with incredible ROI.

So if you're around the Chicago area or are hiring remote, let me know, even if you're doing Python or low level C stuff.

[dmunoz]

Location: Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Remote: Yes.

Willing to relocate: Yes, for the right opportunity.

Technologies: Preference for low level, backend work: C, C++, C#, Go, Java, Ruby, Python, Erlang. Fair knowledge of web technologies including JavaScript, HTML, CSS, jQuery, AngularJS.

Resume: Upon request.

Email: dmunoz_hn at outlook.com

About me:

I have a B.Sc. degree with a major in computer science from the University of British Columbia. I did plenty of elective credits in mathematics, physics and philosophy - mostly the philosophy of logic.

I'm constantly investigating new languages and technologies. I have played around with languages like Go, Rust, D, LISP-like languages, and Lua. I pay attention to language standardization and development such as C++14/17, C# 6, ECMAScript 6, Rust heading towards 1.0, Go through 1.4 and beyond, and others. I sometimes investigate the implementation of languages like Ruby, C#, Rust, Python, and JavaScript.

My current personal project is a concurrent study of Elixir and algorithms for distributed systems. It's likely that during my study of these topics I'll dive further into the design of the Erlang VM.

I have made code available on my website and on github. I program for fun whenever I have a scratch to itch.

My HN alias is a pseudonym. Upon contact, I can make myself available through email, irc, and phone. Please include a little about the opportunity when making contact. I will reply in either case, but if I wouldn't feel comfortable in the roll I will let you know quickly.

I am a student and developer-mentor looking for a full-time position starting June/July of 2015. I have significant experience with large (500,000+ LOC) projects primarily in .NET, I have a published Android application, a vested interest in functional programming, and a strong desire to understand what a system is actually doing under the tower of abstraction it is likely sitting on.

I am looking for a challenging workplace that does its best not to operate under misconceptions and actively seeks to understand the technologies used, does not expect devs to pull more than a 40 hour work week, does not evangelize any particular technology or methodology, respects and seeks out diversity in the workplace, and pays well. A 12/12 Joel Test is much more important to me than ping-pong tables and beer on tap.

Perhaps my posting is a little atypical for Hacker News, but I'm looking for a position as a Data/Business Analyst or something similar. Although, truthfully, I'm open to new opportunities which I haven't considered. I'm very good with people and technology, so any position which taps those strengths is likely to be a good fit. In college I studied economics and supplemented with additional statistics, math, and programming (in Java and Python). Since college I've worked for two banks as a Credit Risk Analyst (which is basically what a bank calls a Data Analyst), and as a Data Migration Specialist for a small startup. I've become quite proficient solving problems using Excel and Access (including all the bells and whistles: VBA, Macros, SQL, formulas, pivot tables/charts, etc.). Though it's been a while since I used SAS, I was quite proficient with it in a prior position.

What can I do? I can analyze data (including extracting data and working with it until the point it can be analyzed), document and manage processes, transform data from one form to another (wide to long, for example), and more. Please see my resume on LinkedIn for more detail.
