HN Jobs

London, UK - Full time. We're looking for a new permanent team member here at State (http://state.com): a developer with a strong knowledge of Ruby on Rails, JavaScript and CSS. We're looking for enthusiasm, energy, a solid software engineering background, experience at larger-scale consumer web or mobile companies, good technical knowledge and skill across the stack of web technologies. We're a startup but the product we're building is still secret (sorry!) ‹ we can say it is large-scale; consumer; it's all about opinions; it's global and ambitious. We have some interesting technical challenges around speed and scaling, machine learning / recommenders, natural language and the semantic web, and creating a platform and API for widespread use and integration. There's a fantastic team coming together ­ people with experience of larger-scale Rails projects, creating JavaScript frameworks, managing communities in their millions, global business development, bringing together web and mobile design to create a strong brand, starting successful companies, and developing large semantic web and big data projects. Technologies we use include Ruby and Rails, Node, MongoDB, Redis ‹ and also Storm, RabbitMQ and Hadoop. On the web front end we're using Sass and a significant amount of client-side JavaScript, looking for speed, responsiveness and maintainability. There's a strong structure around a central API.
