OpenDataSoft (founded in 2011, 40 employees nowadays) is developing a SaaS platform that aims to make it very easy for anyone to create a data portal (which can be a public open data portal, a private internal data sharing space, or anything in between), and at the same time build a wide catalog of public easy-to-use data. You can see the public half of our work here (https://data.opendatasoft.com/explore/).
We're hiring:
Front-end Engineer (Senior or Junior) : help us build easy-to-use UIs to make data publishing intuitive; also help us re-build entirely our front-end stack this year (from AngularJS 1 to ...?)
Back-end Engineer (Senior or Junior) : we like to add a few 0s every year to our data processing performance metrics; help us make our Python stack faster and more resilient!
Technical Consultant : you like to hack around a platform (and talk to the R&D team about it), and to help customers become autonomous on a product (which sometimes means teaching a bit of HTML)
Being an Engineer at OpenDataSoft means being able to "drive a feature home", from the design and implementation choices to the documentation and advanced support. If you like contributing to a product and making impactful choices, we may be a great fit for you!
We may look like a startup, but we have sensible working hours, a sane growth rate, and a very very low turnover. However, we still like beer, weird jokes, and food (a lot).
We switched from Zendesk to Helpscout, at that time because their documentation portal feature didn't fit what we wanted (markdown edition and other things I forgot). The migration has been painless (all zendesk issues are imported to helpscout).
Apart from the documentation system, I personally prefer their UI (it feels more "modern"), the fact that a support conversation looks exactly like a very classic email conversation to your customers (no issue number in the email's subject, no specific signature or structure in the content etc), and Helpscout's team have always been helpful and nice so far. The API is pretty complete as well. We're using it only for support conversations nowadays, so I can't comment on the knowledge base features etc.
We're a small 4-years-old company (21 employees at the moment, including 11 R&D engineers) building a SaaS platform to help governments and companies to share their data, ranging from the typical opendata platform to an internal sharing platform, and anything in between. Our product targets regular users, not technical users, and aims at making data publishing as easy as possible; we don't sell professional services and instead try to let our customers be as autonomous as possible with the product in a true SaaS fashion, sometimes by teaching them a few things in the process. We also try to make data exploration as easy as possible, in order to make open data reachable to any citizen or end-user.
Our stack is basically a Django (Python) project, with a data processing framework pushing stuff into Elasticsearch, which is exposed through an API allowing filtering, querying, complex aggregations, and so on. On the front-end, a lot of AngularJS hitting this API and allowing users to dynamically filter and explore datavisualizations, and an administration interface trying to solve the big challenge of making data transformation and publishing as easy as possible.
We are currently looking for:
- a front-end engineer, to work on the product's UI and data APIs (AngularJS, Python)
- a back-end engineer, to work on our data processing framework and on Elasticsearch (Python)

We're currently using Clubhouse (and very happy with it), and one thing it does extremely well is the Github integration; you can assign steps in your workflow to events in Github, including merges and pull requests. For example, in our setup, if you tag a commit or branch with a Clubhouse issue number, then the issue automatically moves into "in development", then if we open a PR from a branch to our development main branch, it moves into "ready for review"; once the PR is closed it moves into "ready for deployment". As a developer, it means you don't have to micro-manage your issues most of the time, especially if you have more than 3 steps in your workflow. This is a very nice experience, and I don't think I've seen this in other products (apart from tinkering with APIs and Github webhooks of course).
OpenDataSoft is searching for a new front-end intern to join its 9-people team (including 5 R&D people).
We are looking for someone to join our R&D team to work on our product (in short, a SaaS platform dedicated to helping companies and cities share their data in a usable and understandable way). This includes working a lot with AngularJS, Python (Django), and dealing with data in various ways, especially datavisualization.
We have a good history when it comes to interns and you'd be our third front-end intern in more than 3 years of existence.
