Ask HN: Who Is Hiring? (June 2012)
Just the monthly "Who is hiring?" thread. Please include the type of position, visa status, and geographic location.
Hi, HN! Thanks for the nearly 10,000 hits yesterday [1]; that was a blast for us. Each dollar of the $10,000 prize in our app challenge this weekend [2] is now dedicated to one of you.
Singly is hiring a lead developer evangelist and horde of generalist engineers to build a cross-service API that provides merged, normalized and deduplicated data from all of your personal sources (Facebook, Foursquare, Fitbit, email, text messages, you name it). We recently closed $7MM in funding, which we're using to expand the team and ramp up developer outreach, as well as put on huge events like this weekend. Mega bonus points you've got tons of experience building or heavily consuming APIs, but if you're smart and like burritos, let's chat.
Apply through https://singly.com/jobs or kristjan@singly.com. Or, just come hang with us in #singly on irc.freenode.net and at our monthly happy hours [3].
Happy hunting!

We're turning the problems of nutrition, health, and weight-control on their head by inverting the current standard for how software helps people decide what to eat. Current market solutions are broken and tedious and we're building a way for people to be healthy and achieve their goals without preventing people from living their normal day-to-day lives.
We are an engineering driven company of 5 who are very product driven and love building things that solve peoples' problems. Our stack is Python (Flask) and MongoDB on the backend and we use a modern combination of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript on the frontend. People who have portfolios, interesting projects, or funny little hacks will be noticed the most.
Contact me at the email address in my profile...please include any material about yourself you like, resume/cv, portfolio, github, past projects, OSS contributes, anything. Cheers all!
