Ask HN: Who's hiring in Europe?

106 pointsasymmetric74 comments

Especially in Berlin!

I don't work for Red Gate but I use their office, Red Gate is always after talented Developers and Testers. This well written job spec is probably a testament to their attitudes: http://jobs.red-gate.com/templates/redgate/jobdetail_zip/183...

They are rated one of the top companies to work for in the UK, and you've probably seen some of the innovative blog posts they've been writing recently (free ipads, geeks by the sea, etc)

Their CEO is on twitter, @neildavidson, I'm sure he'd ask the development interviewers to pay special attention to anyone that mentioned HN to him after they applied...

SoundCloud is based in Berlin. Swedish founders, relaxed atmosphere, cool product: http://soundcloud.com/pages/jobs

youDevise is a growing 50-person agile financial software company with a couple of very successful financial web applications. We're hiring in London (sorry, not Berlin). Read about jobs at http://www.youdevise.com/careers and learn more about us on our blog at https://dev.youdevise.com .

I'm the CTO and handle all the hiring. Would be very happy to hear from anyone interested in working in Europe (whether or not you have the right to work here - we do immigration if the fit is right).

We, the company compuccino based in Berlin, are looking for developers pushing our products forward.

We develop interconnected platform strategies & cross-platform applications. Our Apps, Tools and APIs allow customers to create, publish and spread content within specialized use cases and in individual formats.

Have a look at our website http://compuccino.com (Jobs page on the top right)

i suppose you have to speak german to get the job, right?

German is a plus but our team speaks English. Just hadn't had time and resources to make our website multi-language.

Hi,

I'm the cofounder of http://www.submate.com and we are currently looking for a CTO. Quick pitch: based on your daily commute SubMate introduce you to cool new people and things to do in your areas.

We are based in Paris and the startup is pretty young (only 3months old) but we already have been selected at multiple startup competition: Innovate 100, The Next Web, Plugg and Nonick (we won that one).

SubMate been developed in RoR.

If you want to know more mail me: jonathan-at-submate.com

Good luck with your job search :)

This is a cool idea. I often see the same people on the subway (New York) and after a few times conversations start (many people probably for dating possibilities). Good luck!

Thank you :) yeah we want to connect you with the familiar stranger you see daily !

Smarkets, a betting exchange startup based in London's hot White Bear Yard incubator, is hiring:

http://smarkets.com/about/jobs/

strong front-end and Python skills a must; a willingness to hack on Erlang, RabbitMQ, and Couch a bonus. Extra points for push Javascript (Websockets, Comet) experience.

We're looking for a Scrum Product Owner in Zürich: http://www.liip.ch/de/company/jobs/ - Scrum knowledge optional, but motivation to learn it and experience handling clients required. We're also always on the lookout for (really) talented php devs.

We're not a startup, but we're hiring in Cambridge, UK:

http://www.intermine.org/wiki/NowHiring

We're a small team at Cambridge University building web software for querying and analysing biology/genomics data that's being adopted by several big academic sites.

Wow, lots happening in Berlin and London! Good to see :)

We're called echolibre, we're Dublin based, and we work with startups.

We're looking to add another PHP developer to our small, friendly team. If you have experience building web apps with the likes of Zend Framework, working on Open Source projects and have been part of a distributed team, we would love to hear from you.

You can get our attention by telling us about code you've written for fun.

We can promise you interesting work, the opportunity to learn from world class developers and the chance to be part of a fun and close knit team.

If you're not in Ireland, telecommuting is fine by us :)

Send us an email: freedom@echolibre.com

Find out more about us: http://www.echolibre.com

You can also get me on http://twitter.com/EamonLeonard

Good timing!

I'm looking for a .Net developer to write a desktop app over the summer.

It's an "in-house" position in Lincolnshire, UK but if you need a [cheap] place to stay something could be worked out.

Ideally looking for a student or hacker with nothing to do for the summer :) wage should be decent (not actually got as far as a budget with my boss but certainly a lot better than working at McDonalds). Fun way to pay for next years tuition & get some experience.

Needed: .Net, SQL, experience using VCS/Bug tracking. If you can learn quickly you're fine.

Plus we're lots of fun, small firm, lunch provided every day, plenty of stuff going on etc.

And you get to work in a "classified" facility :)

Drop me an email (address on my profile) if you want to know more.

GroupSpaces is based in London sharing offices with some other startups including TweetDeck and Moo. We're looking for PHP hackers and a UI/UX designer: http://groupspaces.com/jobs

We're recruiting in London, not quite a startup but a Research & Development lab for Yell with a startup vibe.

It looks like we might soon be heavy on great front-end people and that our hiring of back-end people is lagging, so we're becoming desperate for innovative people who know JVM related tech forwards and backwards (J2EE, Spring, Groovy, Clojure, etc) and who can use that to green-field from scratch as well as integrate with brown-field (a lot of data we need is still in legacy systems, though we have a roadmap to move it somewhere sane).

We are still looking for a few more people on the front-end. Aside from people who know JavaScript intimately (you'll have a tough quiz to pass during interview), we're also looking for someone who has been inside Android for a while and can untap the potential there. If you have C/C++ knowledge too then all the better as we're keeping our eye on Google's NaCl. Any OpenGL experience would be nice too but certainly isn't high on our current priorities.

Finally we need a designer, one who really understands the limitations of the different devices and yet can turn around flawless and highly communicative work quicker than we can bring it to life with tech.

For all of these roles whilst experience is necessary what we're really looking for is a deep passion for what you do and a real lust for learning and applying what you learn.

Drop me a line at david.kitchen@yelllabs.com and I'll ensure we get back in touch.

Sorry, but that post is far too filled with buzzwords to be of any use here.

In addition, nobody knows J2EE inside and out, it is far too big.

I know, it's terrible. Worse still, IBM seem to have had a good time in here and we're having to work with Websphere ESB and Portal. One of the key assets is the data and whilst we're free to persist new data however we choose the legacy stuff is currently locked in those systems and so we are hiring to help free it.

Our front end innovation and what we do for small business is where we're focused, but that back end has to be tamed for us to get anything significant done. The legacy stuff is why we need people with silly amounts of Java stuff, whereas the front-end is really mobile and device driven.

I doubt this is anything like a startup at all. But, then again, the OP didn't specify whether it has to be a startup or not.

In that there are considerable shares and a do or die commitment, no it's not.

It is a R&D lab after all, failing is perfectly acceptable so long as we can learn from that and apply that to what else we do. Failing isn't going to be terminal, so of course a research entity isn't the same as a startup.

Here's a great blog post about recruiting where the author Paula Marttila listing some Swedish startups that are hiring right now: http://paulamarttila.posterous.com/always-be-hiring-how-to-b...

I also wrote a blog post a couple of months ago with hot Swedish startups that hires great people, it's poorly translated with Gtranslate here http://translate.google.com/translate?js=y&prev=_t&h...

We at http://twingly.com always want to hear from people with amazing skills and wonderful personalities, so plz let me know if you're interested no matter of geography: @agaton

Sofa is always looking for great obj-c/obj-j/python/js/support/ui-designer people to work fulltime in Amsterdam.

Is it possible/tenable to hire Americans?

It requires some work, but it's relatively easy: http://www.iamsterdam.com/en/living/official-matters/knowled...

Senior Rails Dev needed in Amsterdam/Utrecht. They are building a web app, predicting future energy scenarios based on your assumptions - like how co2 emission, electricity and heating cost, dependence on foreign countries will change. I'm leaving this great team and project for my own venture. http://www.workingwithrails.com/opportunity/2450 Technologies: Rails 2.3, Ruby 1.9, Haml/Sass, Rspec, Git, jQuery

But why throw a barrier in the way? That site won't you let review the job board without prior registration.

Sorry. didn't realize. Here's the ad:

Benefits: Laptop / computer, Telecommuting, Flexible hours

Very competitive benefits. But of course, it depends on the package of your choosing.

The Energy Transition Model is a complex web application in which users can build their own 'future energy scenario'. It tries to answer detailed questions such as: how much less CO2 will this or that country emit when it builds a Nuclear Power Plant, or wind mill parcs? What much will it cost? And how dependent will you be on foreign companies?

For this end, we are building an extended Ruby on Rails app, with a rich interface which shows complex charts, using no flash. (instead we use jQuery and Canvas.) To make live easy for ourselves, we use HAML, SASS and Git.

You will work in a small company of 9 dedicated employees.

Salary is well above average. Expats are also very welcome.

hi. i am currently based in scotland and looking to move to London. would be very interested to start to work for a startup, specially if their founders are hanging on HN :)

Max is obviously a great person to talk to. However if that doesn't work out, please consider youDevise (http://www.youdevise.com/careers) - we like moving great people to London!

Klaut

There is a strong start-up scene in Scotland...

http://techmeetup.co.uk/blog/

We even have companies that actually use FP in products (Erlang) and some Haskell hackers...

The scene here sent half a dozen people to StartUp School and a couple of teams got interviews at YCombinator - and we've had three teams at Seedcamp (including 1 winner) so you don't need to move to London...

Come along or ping me on gordon AT hypernumbers DOT com

This is very interesting to me. I'm an aspiring Haskeller considering moving from London. Can you be more specific than Scotland? There seems to be Edinburgh, Aberdeen, and Glasgow on that link you provided. Are they all equally good?

Edinburgh is the centre of it all...

nice.... hope to make it to the next meet.

Klaut, drop me a mail at: bastianlehmann@gmail.com. We're a small startup based in London & the North East. We have some seed funding, a kick-ass product and want the best people to work for with us and drive their ideas.

Hi Max, are you still with the VC company, or have you moved on to a startup? (here: massimo moruzzi)

Hey Massimo, I'm an entrepreneur in residence with Atlas. So my email there still works but for other things, max@niecap.com will do.

I'm particularly looking for a great frontend/UI/UX designer/developer.

Anyone in the Oresund (Copenhagen+Malmo+Lund) region?

No openings, but you can always keep a close eye on Unity (http://unity3d.com) based in Copenhagen, if I am not mistaken. The decision on iPhone SDK support is still out there, and whatever happens, it might propel them in a new direction you could assist them in.

any remoting web development/sysadmin? I'm based in Portugal. Skype me at MatrixOwnsYou or drop a mail MatrixOwnsYou at gmail dot com

We're looking for a clever, can-do, motivated, part-timer (and possibly something more!) in Vienna, Austria for http://letsfreckle.com and other secret, saucy SaaS products that help real customers & earn real money :)

Your specs: motivation & problem-solving are key, Ruby/Ruby on Rails experience helpful, and any kind of HTML/CSS/JS skills are cream. You've gotta be willing to wear many hats, cuz the rest of us sure do.

Could totally turn into a f/t position, once we figure out the logistics.
