As a Technical Lead for Xively's Professional Services, you'll be working directly with clients to build “Things” for the IoT.

Re:Offer HN: I'll build a free app for a non profit on Monday July 24, 2017 @11:24AM (#14839204)
I don't have a specific idea or non-profit in mind, but as a developer (professional, 10+ years experience making web applications and a few on mobile) that has been working on hobby projects for a long time I have been looking to use my skills to better the world in some way for quite some time.

I would like to offer my services to help build this app (free of charge of course).

async / await allows you to choose how async you want your code to be/look, and I for one like to have a choice as opposed to say other languages that don't always have an async option.

Xively | Boston | Full Time

Xively (subsidiary of LogMeIn) is an IoT platform with best of breed messaging, one of the first connected product management apps and coupled with a lot of fun goodies like an identity management system, integrations with AWS, SFDC, etc.

We are looking for a senior engineer to architect client solutions and get teams (including him/herself) to implement them. The stack we use is Typescript, React/Redux, NodeJS with a lot of AWS services. Pay is great but the projects are the real draw.

Why don't more web guys use MQTT for pub/sub live data? I saw the PubSubHubBub in the comments already, but most devs are still shoe-horning HTTP into solutions that really aren't request/response based
Re:AWS IoT Beta on Thursday October 08, 2015 @01:27PM (#10354307)
also, MQTT has a "retain" flag that lets a publish linger on a topic to be read later, even when the publisher has gone offline. Seems like "shadows" is a fancy name for what MQTT already gives you.
