voldern··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (June 2017)
Creation Suite (Schibsted) | Senior Engineer | Oslo, Norway | Onsite | Full-Time

Schibsted Creation Suite is a digital only, award winning [0][1] news creation platform used by several newspapers, including the largest ones in Norway and Sweden. In total we are around 30 people, but you will be part of a smaller team (4 full stack devs, 1 UX and 1 PM in Oslo; 2 developers in Krakow) working on creating the next generation of personalized news delivery systems and related tools. We're small enough that you will have a big impact, but there's still plenty of career opportunities within the rest of Schibsted.

We're looking for a senior engineer that is very experienced with JavaScript and Node.JS (or so good at other stuff and willing to learn that it doesn't matter). The rest of our stack consists of Flowtype, PostgreSQL, Spinnaker and AWS (RDS, EC2, SNS, SQS, Kinesis). We're constantly experimenting and innovating and no strangers to trying new technology when we get a good opportunity. As of writing we're currently looking into linkerd.io.

You should also not be afraid of doing frontend development when it makes sense. We're currently using ReactJS and are contributing back to a open source system driven by Schibsted called Roc [2], that tries to alleviate some of the pain points of doing development in JS.

English is our working language so knowing Norwegian is not required. For The Right Candidate we are willing to help with relocation to Oslo

Email me at espen.volden@schibsted.com if you're interested.

voldern··on Issue 1 of Hackers is here
I've bought the first issue because it looks like it has potential. But I really think you should get a PDF version out fast because its a bit pricey atm and PDFs are a lot more handy.

Arch here too, I run it on my home and work computers.
voldern··on Ask HN: What was your first job?

voldern··on Ask YC: What's the most hacker-friendly keyboard?
The good old Keytronic KT800 http://www.le.ac.uk/cc/dsss/docs/kb_kt1.jpg

Arch Linux + KDEmod + VIM & Code::Blocks (PHP, Ruby and C++)
