We've had a couple of popular hiring threads in the past so it'd be great to have some updates.

"Are you hiring? Does your company (or your friend's) have openings? Let HN know!!! Let's get some good people good jobs."

Internships and contracting are also welcome. Previously:

Amazon seems to always be hiring. Give us a shout - this includes internships too.

By the way, I did 6 internships total during college, and Amazon was by far the most enjoyable one. If you're a student, apply.

m0th87• 17 years ago

Where else did you intern? I'm curious because I'd like to know whether an Amazon internship would be different or better than my other experiences (Microsoft/IBM).

potatolicious2• 17 years ago

My internships stretch sometimes a little beyond software:

- A particle accelerator at UBC (http://www.triumf.ca) - An automotive parts plant (http://www.vdo.com) - Apple (x2) - A 3D animation tools company (http://www.sidefx.com)

cosbynator• 17 years ago

I have also had a very positive experience with Amazon after doing two internships with Amazon (one of Seattle and one out of Dublin). One of the few companies around that actually allowed me to design, think and be critical rather than just being cast away into some needless intern project. At my school, they tend to hire as many people that meet their bar rather than setting a quota which is probably why it seems that they are always hiring.

I'm comparing to two other internships - two at a theoretical physics institute in Waterloo and two with Bloomberg in NYC.

DocumentCloud is hiring.

If you'd like to help build an open repository of primary source documents for the top news organizations in the country, and release tons of open-source code while doing it, then we should talk.

Our contract from the Knight Foundation mandates that everything we create is open-source -- so far, we've released CloudCrowd (parallel processing for Ruby), Underscore.js (a functional JS library), and Jammit (heavy-duty asset packaging for Rails).

More info: http://documentcloud.org/

Blog: http://documentcloud.org/blog

Code: http://github.com/documentcloud

To be specific, we're looking for a Postgres whiz as well as a JavaScript/Rubyist to help build the Journalist Workspace. New York City is best, but we can be flexible for the right person. If you think you'd be a good fit, drop me a line at jeremy@documentcloud.org.

tptacek5• 17 years ago

Bored with building things? Want to learn how to rip them apart? Haven't gotten enough of me yet? Matasano is hiring app security people in NYC and Chicago. Knowing app security is great, but being an excellent developer is even better.

My contact info's in my profile.

smokinn5• 17 years ago

I don't plan on applying but I'm curious as to why you would hire a great developer without security experience over someone who knows app security.

Is it because you offer a lot of training or simply because you figure he'll pick up what he needs fairly quickly and eventually surpass the app security expert? Or is there a different reason?

I asked a similar question to Zed Shaw at CUSEC last year. Something along the lines what do you think about Joel Spolsky saying you should only hire the very best. He said he prefers someone who's willing and able to learn because he'll just teach them and they'll become a very valuable person.

thaumaturgy• 17 years ago

I've only had to hire two people so far, but based on that limited experience, I'd definitely prefer someone with passion, interest, and willingness to learn, over someone with experience (and without the rest).

For one thing, even though everyone always goes around arguing that there's only one right way to do things, the fact is that any given organization has their own habits and methods and reasons, and very experienced people may be more reluctant to "fit in".

tptacek5• 17 years ago

(Speaking of, I think I'm speaking at CUSEC this year, and anyone who's got any advice for me, I would pretty much kill to get it.)

It's simple. The best security researchers are people who have (or at least could) ship software. There is a big swath of high-end work that you simply can't deliver if you can't code. That's where Matasano plays. I suppose you could be a very strong Payment Card Industry certification consultant just by getting very good with WebInspect, but to reverse an embedded kernel, isolate the code that handles a protocol you caught on the wire, and then code a fuzzer for that protocol, you need to be able to read code in a bunch of languages and write code very well in at least one of them.

As a consultancy, there are fringe benefits to our clients from us staffing projects with former devs:

* Devs know how to talk to other devs without sounding like morons or bureaucratic checklist-checkers, and sounding like that is a big problem in my industry. For instance, devs don't tell clients that single-line changes to shipping codebases are "trivial" and should only take minutes to roll out.

* Devs can provide remediation advice that is better than "switch to parameterized prepared statements" or "check input better".

But the reality is, we like working with devs because they are on the whole better at breaking software. They read faster, they don't balk at writing complicated test programs, and they know how pieces fit together --- and those junctions are where software usually fails worst.

barry-cotter• 17 years ago

Do NLP engineers include computational linguists, or do you prefer to have people who can really code and train them up? (Not on my own account, asking to find more and better search terms for when/if someone I know has to go jobhunting after their contract runs out.)

MichaelN42• 17 years ago

To my mind, NLP engineer and computational linguist are synonymous terms. Code'em, Train'em, tweak'em, hand-tune'em: the more of that one can do, the more value one can provide us.

This position at Counsyl looks pretty interesting for any bioinformatics hackers here (like rms).

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/sof/1474239327.html

Steven Pinker cares about ending preventable genetic disease. So does the chair of Biostatistics at Harvard's Dana Farber Center, the director of Yale Fertility Clinic, and the former chair of Ob/Gyn at UCLA/Harbor.

They've joined our board because we have developed a diagnostic-grade genetic test which every single American of reproductive age needs to take before having a child. Our test is already covered by insurance and offered at 80+ hospitals across the United States (see counsyl.com/map).

We're growing like crazy and looking for talented hackers with a passion for applied math and computational biology. Learn more about us at www.counsyl.com.

My new startup (Plato’s Forms) is an early-stage angel funded startup based out of South Park (SoMa), San Francisco, focused on solving the problem of rapid proliferation of misinformation in online media.

And we're hiring Ruby on Rails Developers and Senior Developers

We’re going to disrupt (in a good way) the way the worlds of news media and PR communicate. And kick ass.

As we're so early days this is a great opportunity get in at the ground floor NOW. We are able to offer early employees a significant equity package (along with a salary) that could generate meaningful wealth if we collectively achieve our goals. To that end we're looking for a few talented developers who can embrace the excitement and challenges of creating a company from scratch and be willing to make the commitment necessary to succeed.

If that sounds of interesting please check out http://platosforms.com/jobs or send resume + github urls/etc to jobs@platosforms.com

The company I interned for this summer, Panjiva, is hiring a web app developer in Cambridge, MA (http://panjiva.com/jobs). Their app uses Ruby on Rails, but experience with it isn't a necessity. It's a good place to work for if you like it when your development work immediately affects your company's revenue.

Right now the 3 person development team includes an MIT PhD candidate, an MIT grad who founded a startup with a successful exit to VMWare, and a CMU/Stanford alum who recently quit Powerset/Microsoft.

Quora (Palo Alto) would hire someone if we found the right person.

Quora is a continually improving collection of questions and answers. We're a startup based in Palo Alto, CA founded by Adam D'Angelo, who was previously CTO and VP of engineering at Facebook, and Charlie Cheever, who led Facebook Platform and Facebook Connect.

http://www.quora.com/about/index

http://www.quora.com/about/jobs

http://www.quora.com/about/challenges

Some of the challenges are highly algorithmic, such as coming up with ways to organize and categorize the information effectively so that users can efficiently find what they need; others are very technical, such as working to make a web application that is complex while still being very fast; and many of the challenges are in product design, such as figuring out a way to set up and grow a healthy community and constructing intuitive interfaces for users.

We are committed to building a cutting-edge technology company that develops software the right way and is a place where engineers love to work. Some of the tools we are using include Python, Pylons, nginx, memcached, Thrift, and git. We're using continuous deployment and EC2, so all code you write will go live to production within minutes no matter what time it is. Both founders are developers. We want to build a fantastically strong engineering team and the first engineers that join us should set the tone for that.

Hiring? Does that imply a salary? Cause yeah, we don't have that quite yet, but we're working on it.

What do we have? Small, fast, potential insane team going after the temporary staffing / contracting match-making market. It was $86B in revenue last year, a down year, and it's almost entirely offline. It's time to shake things up!

We're in Boston and you need to be to. We code primarily in Rails. The right person will be co-founder with significant equity. We're changing peoples lives. Come build a great company with us.

We're a TechStars 09 company. Have GREAT advisers with deep industry knowledge and major entrepreneurial success under their belts (seriously, rock stars).

Oh, and as this says (http://www.startuply.com/Jobs/Technical_Co_Founder_Rails_153...) I'm not another biz guy looking for someone to do the work. Career developer, 4 startups under my belt, looking to turn my focus more towards the fund raising and growing the biz. That's where you come in. Ping me. My email is in my profile.

strlen2• 17 years ago

Don't forget distributed social graph (in Scala and Java): http://www.linkedin.com/jobs?viewJob=&jobId=785025

Another 'Inner chiming in :-)

physcab2• 17 years ago

Hey Pete, what's the difference between Voldemort and HBase? Looks interesting.

strlen2• 17 years ago

Voldemort is a fully distributed, key/value store. The distribution model is Dynamo/eventual consistency (there are, however, tunable "knobs": you can choose how much of either consistency, availability and partition tolerance you want to give up in favour of the other two). The storage backends are pluggable, but most commonly used ones are BerkeleyDB and read-only (for data built off-line). Latency is low, throughput is high and there isn't a single point of failure. I am presently working full time on a feature that enables additional nodes (and thus capacity) to be added as a cluster is running (and serving live requests).

HBase is a BigTable style columnar style (with support for certain kinds of range queries: see the Google BigTable paper). The distribution model is strong consistency, the backing store is built on top of Hadoop's HDFS. Hadoop's name mode is the single central point / "special" node (although there's work being done by the Hadoop team on having multiple namenodes, afaik).

Cassandra takes yet another approach, mixing parts of Dynamo's consistency/distribution model with parts of BigTable's data model.

The two are different projects, solving different problems. I am a commiter to Voldemort, but I play with/like HBase and Cassandra as well. One size does not fit all :-)
