New York City: Software engineers, Front-end devs, and agile QA engineers wanted at Intent Media.

We have a proven and rapidly expanding advertising platform that runs hotel and flight advertising on many major travel sites. From an engineering end this means true big data and performance considerations. This also means we can really feed our user segmentation algorithms and tune so that we make a better travel experience for users while boosting ROI for advertisers and bringing alternate revenue to publishers.

We're agile, test everything, and deploy several times a week. We write top-notch Java and Ruby, and Javascript code, with Cucumber, Python, Coffeescript, and Pig mixed in.

Everyone here has really interesting stories and are the brilliant, fun kinds of people you want to spend time with. The office is in the heart of SoHo, the hippest area of the best city in the world. We usually eat lunch together from one of the amazing local restaurants, like little Italian sandwich shops and fun Indian take-out restaurants. Employee dogs play around the office all day too.

We're well-funded after a series B. We have great investors like Matrix and Redpoint, and have a great growth story to tell.

Feel free to reach out to the email in my profile and of course there are more details at http://www.intentmedia.com/jobs.

Because people often ask, these threads do work. I got in touch with http://romotive.com after seeing them post in one, and am currently packing up to move to Las Vegas and go work on robots (!) with a great team of kindred spirits, only a few weeks after I first sent them a letter. Good luck to searchers on both sides in finding your own perfect fit.

I'll add in another datapoint, I got in touch with Fitocracy due to a who's hiring thread in May and I have spent the last few months of my life working in NYC with an amazing crew and loving it.

San Francisco, CA. Full time. H1B okay. 50% of traffic is now driven by social media, and referrer information is increasingly useless with mobile clients and HTTPS. Traditional web analytics doesn't work for social traffic. So awe.sm is building full-featured social media conversion tracking and analytics. Right now and in the medium term, we're providing immediate value to our customers by giving them firm numbers…

I thought the feds weren't giving out any more H1B's for people starting in 2012 or 2013.

Scribd - San Francisco, H1B, INTERN are welcome

Scribd (social publishing, top 100 website, YC '06) is hiring talented hackers and other technical people for a broad range of technologies.

We've hired THREE people from these "Who is Hiring" threads, including one just a couple of month ago ... it really works!!

We're looking for people who want to work with:

* Ruby on Rails (we're the #2 largest rails site, after Twitter)

* Javascript

* iOS

* Machine Learning / Data mining kinds of problems

* Back-end problems: scalability, web crawling, analytics

That said, we care way more about your personality and general hacking skills then what languages you've used so far, so if you haven't used these but want to break into mobile or web development, this could be a good opportunity for you.

We're profitable, very well funded and have a really fun office environment (go-karts + a zipline!). We've got flexible hours, a very engineer-driven company culture, and a really terrific team.

Scribd alumni have gone on to found 4 other YCombinator companies, more than from any other startup. We think this says something about the kind of people that we like to hire.

Looking for full-time and INTERN hires (junior year or older). H1B and relocation are no problem. See more at scribd.com/jobs and feel free to email me directly: jared at scribd.com
