ylere··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (August 2017)
1aim | Berlin, Germany | Onsite, Full Time, Visa | https://1aim.com

At 1aim, we develop and produce access control systems, which allow to open doors with mobile phones. We create all hardware, software and IT-Infrastructure to run our systems on our own. Beside access systems we are already putting a lot of R&D effort in creating further new smart home/building automation products. We see ourselves as an engineering-driven technology company, that influences how a future with connected devices will look.

We enable engineers to focus on what they can to best, letting them work on new products in small, highly interdisciplinary teams. We try to get rid of as much management overhead as possible (no daily standup meetings!). Right now, we are hiring new engineers for the following areas:

- (Frontend) Web Developer

- RUST Backend Developer (our backend is 100% rust!)

- Electrical Engineer

We do not care about your academic degrees or where you are from, but about the stuff you did and what you could create in the future given the right opportunities. If you are interested in working at 1aim, write us an email at work.hn<?>1aim.com and tell us about the projects you worked on that you are the most proud of and which technological feats of the past inspire you. We provide visa assistance, relocation support and free housing until you find your own place to live.

Interview process: 1st phone interview (screening) -> 2nd phone interview (technical) -> home assignment/technical challenge (depending on application) -> 3rd/final interview (mixed, via phone or onsite)

ylere··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (July 2017)
Not yet (we're working on it)! But it has been an absolute joy to work with rust so far. We haven't had a single crash in production since we started using it and the zero-cost, high level abstractions allow you to write nice, safe APIs with very little code. All that while providing stellar performance and still being able to write low level code when necessary. The ecosystem is still growing and sometimes you have to put in a little more work to get certain functionality that is well supported in other languages because the library/crate for that does not exist yet or is in an early stage of development. Rust also has an amazing community.

We are long-time sponsors of rustfest, so If you are in europe this could be a good opportunity to get to know some of the team members and ask questions.

thanks!
ylere··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (June 2017)
We actually have a range of different products, with wired and battery-powered versions of every system. Most of them can be combined with traditional mechanical locks as a backup.

The product we currently sell most is a reader unit (similar to rfid readers) that you connect to an external locking mechanism (e.g. an electric strike, motor lock, automatic door opener, etc.) and it's up to the customer to decide weather or not they still want a traditional cylinder installed into the door. For many doors, especially in offices, this is actually often not required (for example because there are several entrances to the room or its a door with a low-security mortise lock that can be opened with low effort in case of device failure).

Our stand-alone solution is a retrofittable, battery-powered industrial grade motorized cylinder that actually connects to an existing mechanical cylinder, allowing you to still use your old keys.

One very important thing that is never omitted though is that every door should open from inside in case of emergencies (e.g. fire) by purely mechanical means (turning a knob, pushing a door handle) and in commercial buildings also usually without keys.

If you are interested in more information you can PM me and i'll send you some PDFs.

ylere··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (January 2017)
You are right. It would me much easier for us to require academic degrees. There are still ways to get a work permit for non-EU engineers without a degree, but its much more difficult and subject to a lot of arbitrariness. In some cases, it required months-long battles and countless appeals with the german federal agencies and thats already with support from the city of berlin. It's a difficult situation for all parties involved and we always warn candidates who might not qualify for an "easy" visa about the implications.

Unfortunately, the world is not and has never been a fair and equal place. Most people from western countries do not realize of privileged they are.

ylere··on WoSign and StartCom: Mozilla’s proposed conclusion
Let's Encrypt cannot issue EV (green bar) certs, wildcard certs and certs with a validity longer than 90 days. While these are good features for many applications (i.e. a typical hosted website), there a lot of cases where that's not optimal:

- EV (green bar) certs are required to increase customer trust (it may be mostly snakeoil, but the CA system is heavily flawed and we are still forced to rely on it anyway)

- Applications where certs are used on other platforms than web servers (e.g. embedded devices, routers etc.) and 90-day renewals are not easy to implement in an automated way.

- Wildcard certs are mostly useful for convenience reasons, e.g. to easily secure a changing number of hosts within certain (sub)domains/zones (especially when they are only or mostly used in internal networks). I agree that the need for wildcard certs is greatly reduced with let's encrypt and acme.

ylere··on WoSign and StartCom: Mozilla’s proposed conclusion
Well shit. I always liked StarCom because of their approach to charge for verification (with increasing costs for each higher trust level) but not for issuing certs (while still manually checking every cert request, at least for any OV&EV cert in my case). This entire WoSign acquisition is incredibly shady. Shortly after that some of the customer reps had chinese names, service quality declined and we got offered to become an "Intermediate CA" (StartPKI) for 10k$/yr.

What is the best alternative CA that also offers wildcard certificates (preferably with a similar business model)?

ylere··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (May 2016)
Good Questions!

- Products: We are offering modern lock hardware (which we developed ourselves) and deeply integrated, modern access management solutions. This combination is what enables us to offer much more attractive products that can be integrated into existing customer infrastructure and enables them to save a lot of the costs they currently have for managing access by automating processes that are mostly manual today. It also enables them to be much more flexible in the way access rights are managed and keys are issued, as well as achieving a higher level of security.

- Team: We started about 3 years ago and currently have a team of 15 (2 founders).

- Vision: Long term, we see ourselves as a player in the building automation/"IoT" field, as it turns out locks/doors are an excellent starting point for that.

- Competition: Apart from our products being superior to existing solutions, we are supported by some well-known people in the industry and have a partnership with one of the largest players in the market (they don't make actual lock hardware themselves, so we are not in competition to each other).
