OpenSpace.ai | https://openspace.ai | Electron Software Engineer, Java/Kotlin BE Engineer | San Francisco | Remote | Full Time
At OpenSpace, we’re using cutting-edge technology — think the perception and navigation AI systems used in self-driving cars — to allow people out in the real world to efficiently capture their work, analyze it, and get things done. We’re building virtual time machines for every construction job site.
I am currently looking for:
1) An experienced Electron engineer to own our existing desktop sync app (plug in a 360-camera and we automagically upload what we need). This currently works but it needs some love and someone to own adding new features and applying Electron best practices.
2) An experienced BE/Kotlin backend product engineer. We use Spring, AWS, Postgres.
If you're interested please reach out to me (the hiring manager): [email protected] please put "HN whoishiring" somewhere in the subject line.
I've been looking for something like this for a while and it is quite nice so far. I was able to wire it into a side project very quickly and remove a lot of boilerplate.
MacroTower helps companies figure out their Marketing ROI. We pull data from our customers' Accounting, Marketing, and Sales software to automatically build all the important "macro" reports (CAC, LTV, and more).
We're hiring our first full-time engineer. You must know (or be comfortable learning) Python, Go, and Javascript (React/Redux).

Wow, thanks for writing that blog post! You highlight pretty much all the reasons why I made dumb-jump. Please don't hesitate to make issues on github if/when you run into issues/ideas.
Sorry to hear it didn't work for you. Would you consider opening an issue on github outlining what you were trying to do? Then you can be more than just hopeful that it will improve.
I made this for proof of concepts where files need to be uploaded but no other backend is really necessary.
You can just set your s3 creds in the toml file (ideally after making an AMI user) and start the server (s3pal server) and you instantly have an endpoint for uploading.
I made this for quick and easy proof of concepts that need to upload/list files to s3. This allows you to simply create a config file instead of coding a backend for s3 uploads/lists See https://github.com/jacktasia/s3pal#configuring
I made this for fun as a side project, because I love emacs and imgix (I work there). You're probably right that this could be done using Cairo, but I'd be shocked if you could do it as easily as you can with imgix.
Yes, you can use imgix directly via the web browser, but for building complex URLs this is way faster (especially if you're an experienced emacs user). Think encoding and moving between parameters of a super long URL.
Thanks for the response and the nice words about the project. Interesting note about the "tricks"...that side effect certainly did occur to me although I was pretty certain this post was going to be ignored/noise though. I'd certainly be thrilled to get any other feedback you may have. Thanks again.
Awesome. Thanks for the response. It's nice to hear about your experience and the process. I have thought about mentioning the project as a comment on a related HN submission...but I can never think of a way that seems natural enough. To answer your question the project is here: http://moviepileapp.com
While this is my app... I really feel like Smart Playlists make the app feel more "alive"...and helpful as far as organizing and making use of Tagmarks.
Thanks for the feedback. All of your stuff is definitely on my TODO list but it's about making pragmatic choices early on (it's just a preview right now).
By "feel like a mac app" I basically meant that you'd have a signed .app binary (inside a .dmg that can be dragged to Applications) on a Mac, etc. Normal consumers don't know what Cocca is. I want the app to look the same across platforms...but execute the app like they would expect.
FYI you CAN embed JREs in .app mac bundles, see: http://www.intransitione.com/blog/take-java-to-app-store/ and is what I would eventually do. It works but right now there's a bug in Java 1.7 (related to changes in the Canvas class no longer being heavyweight) that would break the app, and Java 1.7 (first Oracle, not Apple issued Java for mac) is the first version to support this. I actually had to end up backporting the appbundler code to Java 1.6 and then write some objc to launch the (hopefully present) Apple-issued JRE.
I don't mean for this comment to come off as anything other than thankful for your time...but I wanted to answer some of your points so if anyone read this they would understand that I am serious about this project.
Thanks again and if you continue to use the app and have any more feedback please let me know [email protected]
