Frontend Engineer
Work on a data platform and accompanying visualizations that allow an analyst to go from high-level overviews to deep-diving explorations. You've built complex frontend applications, are passionate about information design, and know how to squeeze performance out of layout engines.
Full Stack Engineer
Help design and build new infrastructure and products. You'll be involved in everything from designing data structures to scaling architecture to assessing user experience. You care about security, testing, and code organization.
Data Engineer
Work with data that has an impact on the real world. You'll help us ingest, store, process, and query large data sets — this includes building ontologies, designing data pipelines, and transforming data to make it more useful.
I reached out to this employer during last month's Who Is Hiring thread. They sent me one email saying they really thought I had a strong background, then another email asking me for times when I would be available to have an interview.
I listed several times in my reply, but then I did not receive any follow-up communication of any kind. No confirmation, no rejection, just no response of any kind.
Hopefully they have addressed and fixed this unprofessionalism in their hiring process, but it is good for others to be aware that it is possible to simply never hear from them after they have asked you for schedule information.
Our sincerest apologies that things slipped through. We were able to identify you based on the description above, and I'll personally follow up in hopes of making amends.
Last month was our first time posting in the HN Hiring thread, and we didn't know how much volume we'd get. We responded in a very ad-hoc fashion, without implementing enough process around it. After some promising candidates came through the HN pipeline last month, we built out a bit more process for this month -- your feedback is very valuable and we'll do our best to prevent similar failure modes from happening again for other candidates.
I just wanted to add that Andrew did reach out and offer an apology over the mistake in their process. As I told him, I think this speaks very highly of Predata. Very few companies would be willing to do such a human gesture. It sounds like they have the hiring management sorted out now and you can all effectively disregard my earlier comment. I am glad to hear it.

Poptip is an information discovery and modern market research company focused on social conversation analysis. We focus on two products; a social polling product that has powered events like Time Person of the Year voting and a market research SaaS platform that allows brands to get deep insights on any topic by analyzing social conversation.
- We have a proven revenue model (with clients like CNN, Budweiser, L'Oreal, and the NFL) and are growing rapidly.
- Our stack includes Go, Node.JS, AngularJS, Redis, DynamoDB, Postgres, Kafka, CoreOS, and Vagrant, as well as some internal versions of other systems (like scalable websockets as a service).
- We apply natural language processing and machine learning techniques to real-time streams of millions of social posts to wrangle actionable insights out the data.
Engineers:
We value the ability to communicate ideas clearly. You should be able to write well, speak your mind, and take feedback with humility. Engineers drive product decisions just as much as any other member of the team.
Designers:
Poptip was founded and is led by a designer. Unlike many B2B SaaS companies, an exceptional customer experience has been the heart of this company’s success since inception. As a member of the design team, you would hold a high level of responsibility by leading the development of new products, visual standards, and features.
Business/Sales:
We have been selling our products from the beginning. Customers rely on Poptip's suite of products on a daily basis to help drive their businesses forward. Our sales team exists to help businesses better understand consumers and maintain two-way relationships with them. We are building a world class sales team with opportunities in sales, account management, and sales development.
Admittedly, I don't know much about state of the art sous-vide, but I'd be really interested to see a device with two reservoirs that can be held at different temperatures and fill/drain the main water bath.
Hypothetically, this would allow for cook->chill methods, though the overhead may not be worth it except for a small niche of customers.
