The Amazon Web Services team is hiring for over 370 full-time on-site positions at 15 world-wide locations.

I'm currently interviewing at Amazon for a different department. Do you know if I can "make a switch" mid-interview, or do I need to start interviewing all over again?

I'm currently interviewing at Amazon, and I have no clue what department I'm interviewing for. I've heard hiring decisions are made strictly by the team that you'd be joining, so is this something I should know before going in for an on-site?

Month after month, the same companies list the same opening here (with probably 30% shift.) I would love to know if the companies that relist aren't getting applicants, aren't getting the right applicants, have a high turnover or are (hopefully) just continuing to grow. Also, are any HNers getting hired from these threads? Success stories are the most needed ingredient to remind everyone that hiring is happening.

I was hired from a post on here in October 2010 for a company in Atlanta. I'm still there, and I've posted a few "we're hiring" posts since then (no hires yet).

Platfora is hiring JavaScript engineers to Distributed system engineers. They are in San Mateo, California and closed their series A with Andreessen Horowitz leading.

They offer solid benefits with competitive pay and have some of the smartest people I've met on their team.

Also they need serious JS engineers, people that know the ins and out of the language and can build entire applications out of JS.

DuckDuckGo is hiring (albeit slowly): http://help.duckduckgo.com/customer/portal/articles/216387 We have an office in Paoli, PA though remote is OK depending on the relationship. We have people now across the world. We also welcome Philly-area interns. H1B is also OK.

I suppose friction is part of the point with inbound hiring, but it is rather frustrating trying to find an email; should I use the DDG "Ask a question" form, the open@duckduckgo.com email, or are you guys just not interested in people you haven't already worked with?

SF/Bay Area, Chicago

NowSpots is a venture-backed startup (we've raised an ample seed round) that's taking the pain out of customer acquisition by making it easy for small brands to create really awesome ad campaigns that do more than just look pretty. We're looking for clever devs who understand that the hardest part of building a business is defeating apathy, getting noticed, and connecting with people looking for your product or service. If you have any sort of subversive, counter-establishmentarian impulses, we'd like to talk to you. :)

Ping me at brad@nowspots.com if you want to chat. We're a small team of just a few folks but count several fortune 500 companies as customers. Come hack with us.

Emcien, Atlanta, GA.

We're looking to hire two people to satisfy the following needs: Rails, sysadmin and C programmer.

We're a pattern analysis company based in Midtown, Atlanta. We've recently hired a sales team and we've got plenty of work to do.

Our apps are Rails-based, but are anything but typical. We do some computationally heavy stuff and basically use Rails apps as a presentation layer. We're usually dealing with huge datasets and need someone that has a strong sense of what Rails is doing "underneath." ActiveRecord behaves differently when you're dealing with 60,000+ records at a time.

We need a C programmer to back up our chief scientist. Operations research experience is a huge plus.

We use several AWS tools including EC2, S3, SNS, and RDS (We also use Heroku for several apps). We need someone to manage our EC2 environment. This probably wouldn't amount to a full-time responsibility, but we do need someone to "own" this aspect of our business. We'd like to have a C programmer + UNIX admin combo but if you can fill our Rails and sysadmin needs, that works too.

If you're interested, take a whack at our developer test and send us an email.
