Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (June 2014)

23 points by cjbarber 12y ago

Continuing jader201's thread from last month - I was surprised to not see it posted by whoishiring. From last time: With the blessing of dang [1], I'm starting a thread to allow those looking to be hired by a company a way to communicate that to the HN community. Think of this as the inverse of the "Who is hiring?" monthly threads [2] -- except this is not a whoishiring sponsored or monthly thread (yet). If you're looking to be hired by a company, please use this thread to let other HN members know. If you're looking for talent, by all means, check out the candidates below and if you see a good fit, connect! Please no recruiters, unless specifically indicated (opt-in). If you're not hiring/looking to be hired, take a look over the candidates below and connect with them if you're aware of a potential fit for them. Up/Down Voting: I would propose that up/down voting be reserved to help promote high quality submissions, and push down those clearly not putting in much effort or are off-topic. Use sparingly. I am loosely proposing the following format (obviously you're welcome to use any format you'd like): [Location], [Remote | Relocation], [Full Time | Contract | Part Time] Stack: [Comma delimited list of technologies] Resume: [Link to resume] Contact: [Email address or other means of contact] [Brief overview, what you're looking for in a company, etc.] (By the way - if people want to propose changes to the template I put it on gist: https://gist.github.com/cjbarber/189c84750cd42309201d) Note: Do not use this thread to hold meta discussion. That belongs on the original thread [1]. This thread is reserved for posts by those looking to be hired.

Contact: alex@alexforster.com I've been programming since I was 14, and started doing it professionally at 20. I'm currently the "jack of all trades" programmer-and-more in a small IT department for a ~2000 employee company. I've enjoyed incredible flexibility to learn and implement different technologies in my current role, but unfortunately, I have to begin looking elsewhere as we're quickly losing our autonomy to our enterprisey parent company. The approximate responsibility split at my current job is 60% pure software development, 20% devops, and 20% networking. I absolutely adore C#, but since it isn't as vogue as I wish it was, I should mention that I'm almost as fluent in several other languages. I'm proud of having a well-diversified set of skills, and if my "keyword soup" resume piques your interest, I'd love to have a more in-depth conversation with you. I'm tied to the area for family at the moment, but I'd be happy to spend a bit on a coworking space and work remotely.

I realise my timezone is difficult to work with so I'm open to giving discounts in exchange for a stress-free work environment or for learning a new technology. I'm looking to maximize my happiness, health and productivity, not my salary.

Going to Canberra, Australia soon. Remote, Part Time Stack: Python-centric stack - Django/Flask, Scipy, Numpy, Requests, Beautifulsoup and all that jazz. Database - Postgresql, Mongodb. I work equally well with ORMs (Django's ORM and SQLAlchemy) and raw SQL. Systems - DevOps in Ansible, async programming with Celery + RabbitMQ. Familiar with git, bash and general Ubuntu systems programming. Frontend - Decent in Javascript (React.js, jQuery), basic CSS/HTML. Resume: Contact me.

Canberra Australia, considering relocation for the right position but would be happy with remote work as long as it doesn't involve me staying in Canberra, full-time (i'm not against contracts/part-time, but they would almost certainly be in conflict with my current employment with the Australian Government, but if your job is interesting enough I'd still be curious to hear from you). Stack: SAS (data step, macro, proc sql), Common Lisp, some experience with others (see resume). Resume: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10585155/Resume%20-%20Latest.pdf https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10585155/Resume%20-%20La... Contact: damien.melksham+hn@gmail.com I'm an expert in data linking (authoring my own system), statistics/analysis/data-science, programming, research, and economics. I've written programs to produce specific house price, household income, national accounts, labor force stats and analysis for official Australian and OECD publications. I'm skilled in algorithmic flexibility, improvement, design and efficiency, and amongst other things my programs are used to select parameters used by the Australian Bureau of Statistics in its current data linking projects, where I am currently employed. I'm looking for interesting and challenging work above your basic entry level positions. I have reached the top of the technical hierarchy where I work and I can't advance any more without taking up managerial positions that involve higher pay but are less challenging. Since this is hacker news, I can be honest and tell you I am NOT interested in these positions. I will consider working for less if I consider your problems hard, interesting, and stimulating enough :P I'm comfortable presenting to large groups, teaching, and I can accept roles that require some supervision, but I'm looking for flexibility and a mature/reasonable employer that wants me working for them because I can solve challenging technical/analytical/research problems that other people can't. I am gainfully employed with a professional working wife, so I won't move without considering our combined situation and employment prospects, but we're both interested in moving if its to a location that offers more opportunities or stimulation than Canberra. If there's anywhere with employers looking for people like me, willing to offer jobs that I might be interested in, I believe its probably on hacker news.
