SiteDocs is hiring junior and senior programmers to join our REMOTE team (North American time zones), working on web and mobile applications for the construction industry. (SiteDocs headquarters are near Vancouver, but our dev team is spread throughout Canada and North America.)

We're a growing B2B start-up with dozens of employees, thousands of users, and real revenue. Our mobile applications are built with Xamarin, and our web app is built with React, but we don't necessarily care if you've worked with either before as long as you're a good programmer who's interested in (and reasonably good at) learning new things.

A job at SiteDocs means:

* Being responsible for your own piece of the product. We're a relatively small team, and our product is relatively young, so the features and components you build will have a meaningful impact on our users' experiences.

* The opportunity to teach (for senior developers) and to learn (for junior developers). Our company values continuous learning, and as a dev team we are more than happy to hire and train programmers right out of university (or self taught, etc).

* Market salary. However, we're a Canadian company and our dollar is not doing very well these days, so it is currently difficult for us to pay in markets that demand more than $100k USD. I know that's a completely reasonable salary, but we're just not there at the moment and don't want to waste your time :) As a remote team, it is more feasible for us to hire people in low cost-of-living areas and pay them slightly above-market for their location--note, however, that we're limited to employees working in North American time zones at the moment.

Our hiring process is as follows:

1. Email application.

2. 15 minute screening call with me.

3. Online programming test at testdome.com. It's a fairly tough test, with questions in a few different programming languages (the intent is not to bias our process towards experience with any particular language).

4. Short (one page) writing sample. We value written communication a lot.

5. Group conversation (over Google Hangouts) with some other members of the team. This is largely assessing oral communication.

Yes, there are several steps, but the entire process only adds up to about 5 hours of your time, and the plus side is you'll be joining a remote team that truly values programming competence AND communication skill.

If you'd like to talk, please email dave.noel@sitedocs.com with "HN Hiring" in the subject line.
In addition to everyone suggesting the classic n-gram approaches, now it is rather easy to use a word2vec (google it) representation of the words instead - obtain a mapping between words and an array of x numbers (either by finding a pretrained word2vec model on internet or training one on texts from your special domain), and then just run clustering on those numbers instead.

Komand (ONSITE Boston, US)

What: We are building a cybersecurity automation platform (IFTTT for security). We have an awesome, technically savvy team that has built multiple products and companies in the infosec space. Work with Go, Docker, and React to build a modern platform for security teams. PS: we're also fun. We routinely make breakfast together in the office, we're a diverse team across a wide age range + genders.

Culture: Team players, world class talent, no brilliant assholes. We have a culture of ownership + responsibility. We are all experienced devs and have great tooling/process even for a company so young.

Jobs: https://angel.co/komand/jobs. We're hiring primarily software engineers. Security background not required, but an interest helps.

Interview Process: We have a very collaborative interview process. We are looking to measure skills, not whiteboard ability. First, after an initial phone call, do a coding exercise offline and then come meet the team and pair with us.

It does.

When a really nice niche subreddit is thrust into the lime-light by becoming a default, it usually dies from an influx of low-quality default users. If it doesn't die from that, the moderation team has to really step up their job - a job they're not getting paid to do which means moderation teams get overworked and burned out, and the quit and the sub dies from lack of moderation. If the subreddit is survives that, the more successful approach seems to be for moderation to become very heavy-handed, which does quite well in a number of places, but also forces a change to the subreddit's culture that was doing well before it became a default.

If the answer is to not become a default sub, well, then the low-quality of the default has affected a good quality sub from becoming a default and prevented quality content from reaching more users.

Unfortunately, a good moderation team doesn't just appear, and one way of acquiring talent is to gasp pay for it. Reddit's avoidance of paying moderators results in relying on unpaid volunteers to do the bulk of the work, so good teams are few and far between, and horrible racist troll-y shit is de jure.

Reddit wants to be "the front page of the internet", but when the default not-logged-in front page features shit like "What's the difference between a feminist and a gun? (self.Jokes)" (pulled just now), it's never going to rise above being dismissed as the front page for horrible trolls, racists, and misogynists.

If I'm supposed to make an account then wade through a pile of shit subreddits just to find an AskHistorians diamond or two, how about I just don't wade through the pile of shit at all?

Linux 4.6-rc6 Kernel Released, Codenamed “Charred Weasel”
Bluffing about an offer from another company during my first real interview / negotiation. It paid off and I started my professional life at a really good salary level and now each increase (mostly from job hopping) has been actually substantial. Not that I recommend everyone do this, but it basically gave me a ~30k boost starting out so I would say objectively the best decision career-wise.

The other decision is to not work any job that requires on-call support or pager duty. I'm finally at a place where I can leave work at work and focus on things that actually matter to me.
Quite right. The comment I was replying to seemed to be saying it was a mistake to cut F-22A production way back when in favor of the F-35, and I was answering in that context. Restarting it now would require hundreds of millions in tooling costs just to get the lines going again.

The company is not affiliated with edX, but contributing and working with them on various projects. This is a full time position, were you would be able to work remotely from where you want, as long as you have a good internet connexion. : )

It's a large Python/Django codebase, with good code standards and architecture (a lot of the edX engineers come from MIT). You would work on different clients contracts using the platform. The clients list/references include Harvard, edX themselves, the French government, and various startups & universities currently running their own instances, or looking to create one. Tasks are varied, from developing developing core platform features, custom exercises and tools for specific courses (XBlocks), customizing and deploying instances, working on both client/server sides, etc.

Most of your work is published as free software (Open edX is released under the AGPL license, which requires clients to release modifications under the same license), and you would also contribute to the free software project, pushing some of your developments upstream through pull requests, contributing features, documentation or help on mailing-lists.

Stack: Python/Django, Ansible, AWS/OpenStack, Debian/Ubuntu, JS, HTML/CSS, MySQL, MongoDB

Interview process: 30 minutes Hangout, then a (paid) test task for selected candidates (a contribution to the Open edX project) - the decision is taken based on how you handle the upstream contribution.

To apply, end an email to jobs+dev-hn@opencraft.com, including: 1) A short explanation of why the role interests you (no formal cover letter, please :) ) 2) A list of links to free software contributions you have made, preferably to third-party projects. You can also include communication threads or documentations you have written if any, as free software contribution is more than just about code. 3) A link to your github account 4) Your resume (or a link to an online resume like LinkedIn)
one last hurrah at attempting to keeping human pilots relevant
Ask HN: Who has given up hiring?
I'm interested into work force liquidity. What vacancies are available at your company, but you just couldn't find anyone suitable. So you stopped looking.
Technology isn't just an industry - it's a way of doing things and is becoming ubiquitous. When people think "tech" they may think of sharing status updates or searching for a restaurant. What about driverless trucks (transportation), gene sequencing (healthcare), industrial robotics (manufacturing), automated warehouses (retail), solar research (energy), farm-specific yield optimization (agriculture)?

This stuff is all being driven from within the tech industry, even when it will benefit "other" industries.

I appreciate this topic and am definitely in the proletariat camp.

I've made other people rich multiple times, with my ideas and effort, and gotten dick in return. I definitely would have been better off with a corporate job.

To my shame, I honestly don't understand the accounting behind all this. You'd think I'd learn. But each time I've been screwed a new way. Not knowing how to defend myself, I've mostly opted out. Which also doesn't seem like a good strategy.
New York, NY | CloserIQ (https://closeriq.com)

CloserIQ is the network connecting top sales talent to venture backed tech startups. We are a NYC based self-funded and highly profitable recruiting tech startup combining powerful software with world class service.

We're currently hiring for 4 roles:

Talent Advisor: http://clsr.us/jYihA/8bd29 (ONSITE, NYC)

Our Talent Advisors attract, engage and onboard top sales talent to the rapidly growing CloserIQ network. You’ll be joining a small team of sales leaders, technologists, recruiters, and growth hackers as a “sports agent” for the top revenue generators in the tech community. Looking for candidates with interest in sales and recruiting.

Talent Development Analyst: http://clsr.us/j2VXg/8bd29 (ONSITE, NYC)

This role is a hybrid sales & marketing where you will be responsible for generating demand for CloserIQ by leveraging digital sales & marketing strategies. You'll have a chance to work directly with our founders, wear multiple hats and have a meaningful impact on the success of the company from day one.

Sales and Marketing Intern: http://clsr.us/j8h2w/8bd29 (ONSITE, NYC)

We're looking for smart and tech savvy interns to help out as we grow the business. We're a team of 6 based in midtown east. You'll work with our founders, talent team and engineers on all aspects of the business and have a meaningful impact on the success of the company.

Freelance Writer: http://clsr.us/jl7MKQ/8bd29 (REMOTE)

CloserIQ is looking for a freelance writer to help us create and curate relevant content as we build out our content strategy. The focus of this work will be within the scope of sales and careers, along with some viral content.
Do some side work for a local business and you'll see how powerful code can be. I did 20 hours side work per week for four years and small projects were able to replace teams of employees that used to hand calculate and process work items. Those teams were able to be moved to other tasks saving companies millions of dollars per year while still growing rapidly.
SEEKING FREELANCER -- Atlanta, GA

Looking for a MySQL DBA to review our current setup, give guidance and provide a roadmap to clustering.

We need an expert who can mentor our current staff and help us not only ensure that our current systems are running optimally, but provide a way for us to get to a high availability/high performance environment eventually.

This will start as a short-term engagement, but could lead to longer term or even full-time work.
