Ask HN: Who needs a job?
96 points by d4ft on July 29, 2010 | hide | past | favorite | 120 comments
I'm always interested in the who's hiring threads, but often find it is hard to determine if I fit the bill. In that spirit, I figured we should have a "Who's looking for a job" thread, and let the employers reach out to whoever they might like. A brief summary might be ok, or a google doc resume, or whatever. I figure if there is one place this might work, this is it. Have at!

Edited to add (kudos to mrduncan):

Make it easy for employers by indicating where you're located, whether you'd be willing to move, if you'd prefer to telecommute, etc.



A couple years ago I made a site to stay organized when looking for a job, http://www.happyjobsearch.com/ . I made it after I got laid off for the second time in 3 months. I needed an efficient, systematic approach to looking at job listings and keeping track of what I needed to do for each opportunity. It's like GTD but just for job hunting.

It's free and it's quick to sign up. So I hope no one minds my posting it here. I know how much it sucks to be jobless and looking for work, so this site is my little helping hand to anyone in that position.


I'm just amazed you did that whole site in one weekend.


Imagine if he tried to compete with StackOverflow.


Pretty cool. I've basically been using an etherpad to keep track for my job search but this wouldve be so much better.


I'm not really looking for a job currently, but I'm interested in who would find someone with my skill set useful: Ph.D. in astrophysics, 15yr research experience, lots of coding in C++ and Python (mostly numerical, Monte Carlo, parallel computation, radiation transfer stuff). In general a pretty all-round kind of guy.

If an opportunity came along, I would be interested in something where I could use my knowledge of physics and coding for something more "applied" and immediately useful to humanity than astrophysics. Ring any bells?


We've started a company to make an energy storage system using compressed air that's 10x cheaper and 10x longer lasting than traditional batteries, while being as efficient.

We don't need someone with the skillset immediately, but we would have. Have you considered greentech?


Yeah, that's one of the things I would be most interested in working with.


Sounds like a finance quant to me... except the "immediately useful to humanity" part, maybe ;)


Nope. I would hate my life, that's more like "actively harmful to humanity", in my mind...


How about SpaceX? We have a lots of openings for engineers, you might be interested in the software engineering position: https://tbe.taleo.net/NA3/ats/careers/requisition.jsp?org=SP...


That sounds fun. Maybe once I get my green card I'll get in touch with you guys.


This is slightly off topic, but I am an undergraduate student learning some of the subjects you mentioned in the parenthesis, and the curriculum/resources at my school are inadequate. Would you be open to a few questions? Please shoot me an email at loganfrederick@gmail.com!


That's one hell of a resume.


Lol. :)

Actually, I generally feel inferior in the coding discussions here, since I have very little experience with web/networking type stuff and that seems to be what's wanted/used.


I'm sorry I pretty much stopped working with employees and I'm half the world away but with that sort of background you'd almost want to create a thing around you that fits your skill-set.

Physics simulation is a world of its own, and as more and more of this software finds its way on to clusters you can't really avoid the networking portion of writing code (unless abstracted away in MPI or so, but then it still helps to know what's going on under the hood).

With what you already know it shouldn't be too hard to pick up the web bits & pieces but frankly I think your skills are more valuable to the right party than web skills are.


Thanks, it's nice to know that someone thinks it's useful! I'm just wondering who the right party is... ;-)


My dad started his own company that does physics simulations. Most of his customers are labs and universities. I don't think he's hiring (he's the only employee), but if you shoot him an email, he might be able to give you some advice.

His name is Jon. Email: larsen@casinc.com


I wonder how much of what you know would be applicable to the lowest levels of computational biology, protein folding, that sort of problem. The problems are obviously different but have a lot in common with the kind of problems you'd run in to in astrophysics.

It's all forces and equilibria at that level.

Less so in the genetics department, that's much more string processing and image processing oriented.


I wonder how much of what you know would be applicable to the lowest levels of computational biology, protein folding, that sort of problem. The problems are obviously different but have a lot in common with the kind of problems you'd run in to in astrophysics.

I've thought about this, but if you set out to sell software to researchers it's very hard to find customers. Anyone working in this field already has some workable software, and your software would have to be an awful lot better in order to persuade them to switch... and the best-existing codes probably represent many man-years of work.

I've thought about starting a company in my own particular subfield (first-principles simulations on the atomic level) but have never quite got to the point where I come up with enough imaginary customers to make the effort worthwhile. And that's in my own field, which I already understand... catching up with computational biology from an astrophysics background would take a lot longer.


Somehow, if I'm going to write scientific software like I'm doing now, I think I prefer the academic freedom over (potentially) making more money. The reason for me to leave would be the "useful to humanity" angle.


How about hiring yourself out to a company already active in that field ? At a discount initially, but in the longer term probably more lucrative.


Could do eventually, but happy within the ivory tower for now. Would only be tempted out by the big face money.


It sounds like Google might like to have you on board. Have you considered applying with them?


Actually, I did, but the H1B quota thwarted that... When the next quota period started it was 2009 and they weren't hiring, so I ended up staying in academia and moving to Boston. (I just married an American, so the whole visa deal should soon be over.)


The web stuff gets all the press, but there are other companies like Palantir that may be more suited for your skills and background:

http://techcrunch.com/2010/06/25/palantir-the-next-billion-d...

http://www.palantir.com/

Investment banks also like physicists and computer scientists for their quant trading work.

http://www.wilmott.com/


anybody who has lots of data and would like to analyze it would find you extremely valuable. You just pick a domain that interests you.


I currently have a part-time job that pays the bills, and I want to keep it, but I would be very interested in doing small projects on the side, or jobs that only require a few hours a week (e.g. maintenance).

I'm proficient in Python; I've used the language since ~1996, professionally since 2002, mostly for back-end stuff that runs on servers, scripting, database access, etc. Also GUI programming and IronPython (at my job, we're currently converting existing CPython code to IronPython). I am not an expert on web programming, although I've designed several sites for personal use, and some web apps using Google App Engine.

As I am always interested in learning other/new programming languages, I also have limited experience in e.g. Scheme, OCaml, Ruby, Delphi, C, C++, D, Io, etc.

(My resume can be found at http://zephyrfalcon.org/resume.html, but please note that it's out of date; I haven't updated it since last November, when I was re-hired by Oasis Digital (mentioned on the resume as an earlier employer). I will get around to this, but as I am not looking for a full-time job, it hasn't been one of my priorities.)


Make it easy for employers by indicating where you're located, whether you'd be willing to move, if you'd prefer to telecommute, etc.


I'm looking - currently in SF bay area physics PhD program, working on computational condensed matter physics. Physics&Math degree, good CS background as well (mostly python, also C, C++, others in passing) as part of undergrad studies/current research/current side projects but no 'official' dev/work experience, if you get what I mean. Planning to take a year or more off from degree program to work on a startup or similar - I kind of imagine myself coming in somewhere between an intern and and engineer. Hoping to stay in SF area for now. I'd be happy to send a resume, too. email: renwar11@gmail.com


Melbourne, Australia. Programming since 1986.

Latest work: Linux device drivers for an air traffic control system, medical equipment and a cell phone base station.

Earlier work: portable data terminals, air conditioning control systems, remote order entry systems, telephone banking, EFTPOS terminals and networks, various communications programs, web pages for remote control of communications equipment.

Major accomplishments: rewrote 2,650 lines of C as a seven line shell script; rewrote a VME to PCI bus chip driver reducing the packet transfer time from 40 milliseconds to 200 nanoseconds.

Worked at NCR, Nokia, Philips, Telstra and Wang among others.


I am losing a developer who is moving to Australia simply for the life experience, which is a great reason in my books, although I hate to lose him. Just curious – how is the developer/tech job scene in Melbourne and Sydney right now?


There are a lot more low level technical programming jobs in Sydney than there are in Melbourne despite a difference in population of only 12.7%. For example, a search for "embedded" on the Seek job site at http://www.seek.com.au yielded eight jobs for Melbourne and 26 for Sydney.

On the other hand, living in Sydney is more expensive with average purchase prices of $A515K ($US464K) for a flat and $A600K ($US541K) for a house as opposed to $A485K ($US437K) and $A510K ($US460K).


I particularly want to get involved with any developers or companies in the Boston area that specialize in libraries. I am particularly keen on academic libraries as I think it's a great space. They need great developers (existing software sucks) and are willing to pay good money for their work.

I have 4 years experience working in Digital Library Services where I write services and web apps that interact with integrated library systems. I generally use PHP, MySQL, Drupal, and jQuery for work (this is the leading academic library web stack), but I'm trying to ween myself toward RoR and other Ruby frameworks. I also have experience with Java, C, Scheme, and ASM (in that order) from my CS studies. I've started working on a RoR project to help manage EZProxy, which is an existing, near-ubiquitous proxy service for academic libraries to offer off-campus access to licensed content, that I hope to turn into a SaaS business in the near future.

Are you aware of Koha http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koha_%28software%29 and Evergreen http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evergreen_%28software%29 open source ILSes? Those are complementary to your interests (albeit perl rather than python or ruby).


Yes, though I am actually not particularly interested in the ILS. The ILS is simply too big, complicated, and a costly measure to tackle. They're 10-year commitments. Instead, I'd like to focus on add-ons and supplementary tools. Luckily, most ILS support protocols like z39.50, SIP, and NCIP so such tools can be created for all libraries.


I live on long island(in NY), and would love an entry-level coding opportunity in the area. Obviously I read HN, and I'm always reading and learning more about technology while dabbling with languages. For example, today I've been writing utility scripts in powershell( http://is.gd/dRJWZ ). I've played with PHP, Android development, Ruby.. heck, even a little security exploitation in assembly. The list goes on. I started by writing in C, and it's fair to say that's the language I'm most comfortable with.

I may not have a Ph.D. in astrophysics like that other guy, but I really do think I could contribute somewhere given the chance.


You might want to share some contact info...


Hrm, I suppose you're right.

I'm an interface designer and web developer looking for part-time or short-term gigs, based in NYC (for now).

Portfolio: http://mdolon.com - Blog: http://devgrow.com


You've got nice work.


Thank you, I appreciate it! The portfolio is actually a bit outdated now, I've done some better work that I need to put on there soon.


Resumé criticism/suggestions would be cool.

http://metawhimsy.com

I live in Santa Cruz, California and won't be able to move for a year (I'm a student) but I can telecommute. I'm also willing to work below market prices (being a student and all).

I have no concept of what my skill level is when it comes to programming or system administration. Shoot me an e-mail and ask me some questions to determine that for yourself.


will is my brother, his SysAdmin skills are above average by bay area standards. He hasn't done significant programming for me (outside the SysAdmin role, scripts, etc...) so I can't really evaluate him as a programmer.

The unusual thing about him is that he has excellent communication skills, something that is pretty rare at his age.


Boulder, Colorado. Unable to relocate.

I've coded a good deal in Perl, C, and Lua, and have been learning Scheme for quite some time as well. I'm comfortable with Linux (bash included), OS X, and Windows. I'm willing and able to learn new languages/systems.

Currently a senior majoring in Linguistics (human), though most of my jobs through college have been with computers.

Please feel free to email me -- my email address is in my profile.


send an email to jobs@boulder.me and I will pass it on.


I am in SF and aggressively looking!! http://hireclayturk.wordpress.com


Constructive criticism:

1. Not sure about the artfully-dishevelled glamour shot. Something is offputting about it, though I can't put my finger on what it is.

2. "I love being the smartest person in the room, but humbly accept when I am not and love to learn knew things" sounds a little egotistical. I would be concerned that a person who said that might be a little too eager to believe themselves to be the smartest person in the room, even when they're not.

3. You're very specific about what you can't do: "not a genius software engineer or computer science major... not able to program the next Facebook..." but very vague about what you can do. You claim that "I can give you ideas as to what should be implemented and understand why", but you don't demonstrate that your ideas about what should be implemented will actually be any good.

4. Convert your resume to html, it's too hard to read in the little scribd box.

5. * “When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change” W. Dyer* Again, seems a little egotistical; you're handing out platitudes to people whom you want to be your boss.

Anyway, mostly I'd recommend rejigging your website so it puts a bit more emphasis on things you actually have achieved, rather than assertions that you're full of good ideas. And while I'm not calling you egotistical, I do think that your site might give people the impression that you are.


Also, "love to learn knew things" has a typo with the word new.


I appreciate the valid points. Thanks for your time!


You've got a typo on your places page.

Below are a few of the sites I visit daily for news, entertainment and to education.


thanks!!


I am a fun and outgoing guy looking for a strategist or community management type position. I've got some dev experience (LAMP, JS, ~python, working on jquery) and a minor in CS, but coding full-time gives me cabin fever of the brain.

I'm super curious, intellectually fearless, and willing to relocate (currently in Chicago; would prefer SF.) Contact info is in my profile.


I do need a job. I am interested to join a startup whether as an entry level software engineer or an intern. I am comfortable with C, Python, Java, C++ and C#. Unfortunately, I lack the experiences with frameworks, APIs and libraries such as RoR, Django, Hadoop, Scala, etc but I am willing to catch up. I am an F-1 student with an OPT work authorization for a year. I love solving algorithm problems and security issues. I do not mind smaller compensation as long as I can pay my rent and I can eat. I am currently based on Indiana but I am willing to relocate.

This is slightly random but I'll give it a shot.

I'm a developer with mostly .net experience, but I know and love ruby (rails, sinatra) and would love to use it professionally. I've also been studying iPhone development a bit and have an app, albeit simple, on the app store.

I'm looking for a way to work and live in Vienna, Austria starting in January 2011. Earlier could possibly work too! I don't speak German, but I'm currently studying it and would love a situation that helped/forced me to learn while still being able to get work done. I have about 3-4 years professional experience writing web software, I'm a third of the way through a masters in c.s., and am fun to hang out with to boot. Any one looking for remote help, or help in Austria? Long shot, but I figured I'd try it! My email is in my profile, and I'd be happy to talk about anything.

Thanks!


I'm a math major with one more semester of school left (graduating in December). I'm currently located in Atlanta but I am willing to relocate anywhere, especially the Bay Area. I'm enthusiastic about graphic design, user interfaces, and technology in general.

I spend a lot of time in Photoshop, Illustrator, Omnigraffle, and Flash, but I am willing to learn anything and everything. I've recently put a website together where you can see some of the art I've done: http://vveleva.weebly.com/ As for programming, I'm familiar with html, css, javascript and Java, and I'm learning python (having fun playing with visual libraries).

I'm flexible about compensation; I just really want to get my foot in the door and start learning from some smart people.

I can be reached at vvveleva at gmail.


I'm a final year bachelors student (CS major) from Karachi, Pakistan. Moving is not an option for me right now, not for a year anyway.

I'm primarily interested in working part-time on a project that would give me more experience in web or game development, and more crucially get to work with people who know how to get traction.

I obviously don't have a lot under my belt right now, but I'm a quick learner and avid reader of HN. I have PHP, Python, C++, Java and web designing skills. I made a web app for local sales and events in Pakistan a while back (http://www.itaaza.com), though it's a bit dead at the moment.

I've also worked a bit on mobile game development. Made a game for the Nokia Calling All Innovators contest, and working on an android game right now.

I'm looking for a full-time position (consumer web startups) in either Product Management, UX Design or Front-End Development. I'm located in Toronto but actively looking everywhere and would love to relocate to somewhere new.

I'm experienced with both the LAMP stack and the design stack (especially napkins). I cofounded and was CTO of a startup for 1.5 years, http://thinkpanda.com, and am currently freelancing.

Check out my portfolio website: http://fahdoo.com LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/fahdb

Or if someone wants to angel fund me so I can work on a few new startup ideas, then that would be swell :)


I have a Ph.D. in Math and CS, but never worked in IT. I like to think about problems and how to solve them. I like to learn and enjoy hobby programming and coding in Python, Ruby or Lisp. I think I don't really need a job, just some challenge to solve.


Champaign, IL. I have compelling personal reasons to stay here for about the next year, but would be happy to telecommute and willing to relocate afterwards.

I have a BS in Physics and am currently finishing a MS in Materials Science, but I'm looking to move into a more computational direction. I have a lot of experience with the analysis of large data sets, computer vision and image processing problems, and knowledge of cluster and cloud computing; and I've got a strong interest in machine learning and statistical analysis. Most of my programming experience has been in Matlab and Java, with a bit of Python, Fortran and R mixed in.


I'm finishing up a postdoc and am not actively looking for a job just yet, but I will be soon.

Like lutorm, I'm wondering who in the startup/industry world might find my skill set useful. (Yes, I know about finance.) I'm located in NYC, and will be staying here for the foreseeable future.

Me in a nutshell: PhD in electrical engineering, research experience in audio processing and machine learning, mainly speech recognition and music analysis. These days I do lots of scientific coding in Python.

http://www.ee.columbia.edu/~ronw http://github.com/ronw


Apply to Google. Google does a lot of machine learning, and the Android folks like audio processing. And yes, Google has an office in NYC. (With, purportedly, really good food.)


Figured since I started the thread I should participate:

CS Degree (honors) from Duke, and Law(JD) and Business(cert) degree from UPenn. Don't want to be a lawyer, it really is soul sucking :) (no offense to you lawyers out there!). Have worked in both a startup environment and that of a large corporation. Comfortable in Java, Scala, Ruby, Javascript. Have built apps in Struts, Rails, Spring, Webwork, and Lift. Minimum competency in C++, Objective-C.

Would like to get in on the ground floor with an exciting startup that is doing challenging work.

Living in Philly. Willing to move anywhere (well, mostly). Email is in the profile.


I'm an UI/UX designer, Italy. Always interested in opportunities (short-term, long-term, or even a co-founder).

I hope I finish my side project soon, just to have something to show (aside from freelancing work). Some projects I've disclosed: http://www.pmura.com/labs

(With all the coders and people like http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1558995 on HN, I'm feeling like crossing a deserted market, in a dystopian world, full of people looking at me like a weird "something".)


I'm about 4 years out of school (no degree - 3 year diploma + some university). I'm a Canadian looking to go to SoCal preferably. I've been doing iPhone stuff for the past two years - mostly video/image post-processing with OpenGL. Starting on some Android stuff too. I'm more of a "guts" guy than a UI guy though, so I enjoy trying to push these devices to do cool new things. I like C, C++ is okay, Java I need to re-familiarize myself with (due to Android) and I'm getting comfortable with ARM Assembly but I'm still working on getting better at it.


Philadelphia, PA

Around 10 years experience, mainly with java but also flex/actionscript, ruby, Objective-C. Unix experience as an admin at a few companies when I was in college/recent grad. Experience with both commercial and F/OSS tools/stacks.

Recent work: Building java/flex applications on a completely open-source stack (Spring, Hibernate, MySQL, BlazeDS).

Past work: Building enterpise-y systems on WebSphere and JBoss. Also spent a few years as a java application performance analyst and tuner.

Me. Western NY area. Over 15 years experience in IT including systems admin (windows, unix etc), network admin, which are things I no longer want to do. No longer want to be on call all night or woken up because of emergencies. Currently been doing QA for the last 10 years or so. Considering getting into coding, as it's one thing i've never really done aside from simple scripting etc. Any suggestions on what to pursue here? Wish I could find a work from home/remote QA position. Never see those around.


I'm looking for a job in Canada (vancouver or toronto preferably) that would sponsor me as 'arranged employment'. I'm pretty great with C++ (4+ years), Lua. My focus has always been on gamedev, 3D rendering.

I've also done professional webdev work with RoR, my Ruby is not ultra idiomatic so I wouldn't say I'm excellent at it, but I can get the job done. Also know my way around Javascript, though I'm really rusty.

I'm from Brazil and living here currently but I want to relocate and have taken all the necessary steps :)

contact at #{HN username}@gmail.com


I just finished my MSc Mathematics (in quantitative finance). If anyone is looking for a math or finance person that also knows some coding (basic C++, etc) I'd be willing to relocate.

I'm in Edinburgh, Scotland, quite happy to work remotely, and while I have a good background in tech support and Linux sysadmin, I've also dabbled with HTML5-a-licious mobile webapps, social media toys, VoIP integration, and generally whatever looks interesting to me at the time.

Thing is, I've never done anything of the interesting stuff for money. And I'd quite like to.

My CV's on github: http://github.com/johnd/cv


How are you with the rest of the LAMP stack? We are not hiring at the moment but may have need for someone like you in the near future.


I spend my days up to my elbows in perl, I've dabbled with PHP in the past, (the 'p' is always ambiguous) and I spent some time this week fixing broken MySQL databases. Fun times.

I'm pretty comfortable with the whole stack, really.

Edit: Neat, you guys are in Kirkcaldy? I'm in Inverkeithing.


I'm definitely looking—though also still going to school (so I'm not looking to move, or take any full-time positions, just yet.)

I'm a web (and desktop) developer in Vancouver, BC, willing to freelance or work part-time. I mostly have experience in Ruby and PHP, but dabble in pretty much everything.

Here's a CV/portfolio, which goes on at much greater length: http://derefr.co.cc/work


I'm semi-looking. Based in Annapolis, MD. Not willing to relocate.

Currently entering my last year of a JD/MBA program. Prior to grad school, wrote code professionally for 7+ years, mostly in startup orgs of one shape or another (some that were pre-launch, others that were post-IPO). These days, prefer Rails, but looking forward to Perl 6.

I don't have anything in particular in mind, I'm just curious to see who/what might be interested.


We're hiring rubyists somewhat nearby at the Democratic National Committee in Washington, DC. techresume@dnc.org
