San Francisco, CA (INTERN, H1B welcome)

MindSnacks - http://www.mindsnacks.com/

We build fun games for brains in San Francisco. We're a small & talented team. We hate boring. Our investors are awesome. If you are nice and want to help us make splendid products, we'd love to hear from you.

We're hiring in lots of areas! Here are a few:

* Backend engineer: So much data, so little time! If you can manage the chaos and make them thar machines answer questions like "What do they like about our stuff?" and "What don't they like?" and "Is they learnin' themselves good?", we want to hear from you!

* Frontend engineer: Our users want to see how they're doing. They want interactivity that goes beyond their mobile devices. You've got the magic touch to make that happen. Let's talk!

* Mobile engineer: You build pocket-sized awesomeness on iOS and/or Android. We make games that teach people stuff. The perfect combination! Even if you're not a game dev, there's plenty of app-y stuff to do!

* UI designer: Engineers make things go vroom, but without a stunning design it's pointless. If you live to make jaw-dropping UI experiences (web and/or mobile), this is the place to be!

(OFF-TOPIC) - Why are so many jobs downvoted here? Are people downvoting other listings to make their own listings higher ranked? Are there some controversies surrounding the downvoted companies I'm unaware of? (if so please post a link below the job asking for the poster to give feedback on the issue)

Currently there are no downvoted jobs, but there are several that have apparently been killed by the dupe detector.

San Francisco, CA - Scribd - Looking for creative engineers with various backgrounds

Scribd is one of the early YCombinator companies, and we've been growing steadily. We're now a top 100 site and one of the top 3 rails sites on the web by traffic. But we still have a very small, tight-knit team where each person plays a critical role.

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

Technology-wise, we mostly work with Rails, Javascript, and iOS. We also have a lot of challenges related to machine learning, text mining, and scaling large web infrastructure. We're looking for generalists with an interest in one or more of those areas. See http://www.scribd.com/jobs for lots more detail on the stuff we've built, a lot of which we've open sourced.

We're in downtown SF but we've hired a team of the best people we could find from around the world. Relocation and H1B / J1 visas are no problem.

We've gotten some tremendously talented people from these "Who's hiring posts" before. If you're interested, please get in touch with me directly - jared at scribd.com.
