All jobs from Hacker News 'Who is hiring？ (November 2024)' post ♂

　　MixRank (YC S11) | Software Engineers | 100% REMOTE (Global) | Full-Time

　　MixRank processes petabytes of data every month from web crawling. We have hundreds of customers using our data products including Google, Amazon, Facebook, Intel, and Adobe, across industries including Finance, Recruiting, Sales, Marketing, and Security.

　　We’re a fully-remote company with a global footprint in over 20 countries. We're growing, profitable, employee-owned, no dependence on outside funding. Applicants from all geographies and backgrounds are welcome.

　　We are looking for passionate individuals for whom programming is not just a job but it’s something they love to do. We're obsessed with computers, programming, big data, databases, compilers, hardware, math, data science, and the internet. Does this sound like you? Please apply to join our team.

　　Our code base is very friendly to new contributors. You'll have a fully-functional development environment within hours (fully automated) and be pushing commits on your first day. Deployments to production happen multiple times per day and finish in less than 2 minutes. Effectively all of our codebase is written in Python, Rust, SQL, Javascript/TypeScript, and Nix. The core technologies you'll need familiarity with to be productive are Python, PostgreSQL, Linux, and Git.

　　We operate at a larger scale than typical startups. We operate two datacenters with high performance servers we've built that are capable of dealing with the volumes of data we process. We've implemented our own distributed file system. We do full-scale web crawls. We download and perform static analysis on the entire universe of Android APKs and iOS IPAs that are published. Unlike a typical startup where you'll spend half of your time in meetings, and the other half fixing bugs from Jira tickets— at MixRank you'll get to challenge yourself with difficult technical problems that will help you to grow as an individual.

　　We're hiring continuously for the positions below— they aren't singular positions that will close once filled. Our philosophy on hiring is that the candidate is more important than the position. For each new member of the team, we design a custom role and responsibilities that are specialized to their interests. Other companies will come up with a long list of specific requirements for a position with the expectation that you'll exactly replace someone from the team, or that you'll be the perfect tetris piece that satisfies the job requirements decided by a committee. MixRank is more pragmatic: we'll first get excited about having a unique individual on the team, then we'll figure out the best way to accommodate their specific talents.

　　Junior Software Engineer - Remote (Global), Full-Time

　　We're looking for remote junior engineers that have 0-3 years of professional experience in software, and 5+ years of curiosity exploring computers, programming, and technical hobby projects. This is an open-ended entry role with mentorship and diverse opportunities to work on all areas of our product: databases, distributed systems, infrastructure and tooling, data analysis, machine learning, frontend/backend web development, APIs, data mining, data modeling, and more. To stand out, please highlight what makes you unique: passion for computing, curiosity and side projects, work ethic, niche research, etc.

　　Ideally you've already graduated, but if you still have one or more years left of school, please feel free to apply anyway, and if you're the right fit for the team we'll figure out a way to accommodate your schedule.

　　Software Engineer - Remote (Global), Full-Time

　　We're hiring generalist software engineers to work on web applications, data mining, machine learning/data science, data transformation/ETL, data modeling, database scaling, infrastructure, devops, and more. We'll cater the role to whatever subset of these areas match your interests.

　　Beneficial experience includes PostgreSQL, Python, Rust, Linux, TypeScript, Nix, frontend/backend web development, and data mining.

　　Ex-Founders (all roles) - Remote (Global), Full-Time

　　We encourage founders in software engineering, sales, marketing, customer success, design, and product to reach out. If you don't see a relevant position open, reach out to jobs at mixrank.com. We care more about the person than the job position, and we're happy to craft the perfect position for anyone that joins our team. People with founder experience tend to be very successful at MixRank, and our leadership team is filled with founders.

July 2017 Hacker News Hiring Trends ♂

　　For the second month in a row, React is the top technology in the

　　Hacker News Who is Hiring

　　thread. While this demonstrates how strong React's hold on the industry

　　is right now, how long can a JavaScript framework remain on top though?

　　History has not been kind to JS frameworks, so my guess is that React

　　will start dropping down by the end of year. With Vue.js coming in as

　　the top riser, it's clear the competition is coming.

　　The JavaScript ecosystem has always moved fast, which has provided many

　　compelling story lines for this data over time. But, that fast pace has

　　brought not only breakout hits, but also means some are left behind.

　　We see that this month with both CoffeScript

　　and ClojureScript dropping to

　　zero. With TypeScript gaining

　　momentum, so languages that compile to JS are not losing their appeal

　　completely, but the industry does appear to be moving on somewhat into

　　new territory with ES6.

　　The rest of the top 10 remains pretty similar to the last few months

　　with some slight shuffling. Containers are hot however with Docker

　　fast approaching the Top 10 and Kubernetes

　　skyrocketing close to the top 20.

　　Programming Languages

　　Compare JavaScript, Python, Ruby and Java

　　Compare C++, Scala, Clojure and Go

　　Server-side Frameworks

　　Compare Rails, Node.js, PHP and Django

　　JavaScript Frameworks

　　Compare React, AngularJS, Vue.js and Ember

　　SQL Databases

　　Compare Postgresql, MySQL and SQL Server

　　NoSQL Databases

　　Compare Mongodb, Elasticsearch, Cassandra and Riak

　　Big Data

　　Compare Storm, Hadoop and Spark

　　Messaging

　　Compare Kafka, RabbitMQ and ActiveMQ

　　DevOps Tools

　　Compare Chef, Puppet, Ansible and the DevOps term itself

　　Virtualization and Container Tools
