Ask HN: Who's Hiring October 2013
It's that time again
19 コメント
OP, there's an official account for those threads (https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=whoishiring). I assume the official thread will be posted soon.
It's past 9 AM on the 1st and the bot still didn't submit anything. Is it broken?
It's up now: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6475879
Wait, ~whoishiring is an official HN account? I thought it was just a clever username. TIL, thanks!
Also, does this mean this thread is invalid, then?

AFAIK this is not an official HN account
By the way, would it be worth making a monthly thread for buying and selling web apps (or businesses in general)?
Gotcha, jumped the gun I guess ;)

Toronto, Canada - FULLTIME. VC Backed. Comp Salary + Benefits + Equity Opportunity.
Top Hat (https://tophat.com). We build software for The Modern Educator.
Python, JS, RabbitMQ, AWS, Backbone, Real Time, Big Data, EdTech, Dent in the universe kind of stuff.
-----------------------
Looking for a brilliant developer:
Does doin’ your thing in Django take you to your happy place? Does coding in JavaScript feel better than Christmas morning? Does programming in JavaScript bring you more satisfaction than rainbows and puppies combined? Read on, you Maniac Hack.
If you’ve been to university, you understand the nut Top Hat is trying to crack. Your professor starts to talk, and you really do have every intention of listening. But within about five minutes, your good intentions fly out the window and you begin to surf Facebook, catch some Zz’s, or if you’re feeling really ambitious start working on a problem set for a completely unrelated class. When you join our team, you’ll be working on classroom interaction software and help higher education find its mojo!
Your work will touch hundreds of thousands of paying customers (300,000 and growing every day). Plus, you’ll get to ship code on a weekly basis. We only officially launched a little over two years ago, but we’re already profitable and are growing like crazy! Lucky for you, we’re small but mighty. That means you get to touch everything—front-end, back-end, database code—whatever your little hacker heart desires! And what’s more? Everything you touch will be yours. Well, kind of. We follow the “Facebook approach,” meaning we give developers complete ownership of features.
The Fabulous Life of the Top Hat Developer comes with other sweet perks too. Every fifth week is hack-week, where you and your fellow developers get to spend a week working on pet projects. There’s also lots of free deliciousness. What’s up catered breakfast and unlimited snacks and drinks? Oh, and did we mention StarCraft throw-downs at lunch?

DuckDuckGo (Paoli, PA, USA) - LOCAL OR REMOTE.
We would welcome 1-2 additions to our small core search engineering team. This team works across our full architecture (https://dukgo.com/help/en_US/company/architecture) though does more back-end and data algo than front-end and dev-ops, which are primarily handled elsewhere.
Previous search experience or extensive experience with our particular architecture is not necessary, though this is not a junior level position.
Please note our hiring process is a bit different. If you need to immediate full-time employment this process probably doesn't work for you because we usually contract for a couple months first (paid).

Careport Health (https://www.careporthealth.com) -- Boston, MA
We're a small team building a solution to the problem of how to find appropriate post-acute care. After surgery, patients often need to transition to a care facility to complete their recovery. Right now, deciding which facility to transition to involves a printed spreadsheet and lots of phone calls. We're using technology to make that process faster and more pleasant for the patient and the hospital.
We're looking for a person with an eye for design who can write clean, standards-compliant html and css that will look good in ie7+ (hospitals aren't on the bleeding edge of browser tech). Javascript chops would be great, but aren't required.
We are currently working out of the Paypal Start Tank in Boston. Feel free to reach out at [email protected].
