San Francisco, CA H1B Welcome

Airbnb - http://www.airbnb.com/

We only have 27 engineers, and we need more!

I'm a backend engineer here, and we're hiring backend, frontend, mobile and ops engineers. Check out our (pretty sweet) jobs page: http://www.airbnb.com/jobs

I've been working at/founding startups for the last few years, and didn't think I would end up somewhere as "big" as Airbnb, but I love it here. Despite the large size of our customer service operations worldwide, the entire product team (PMs + engineers + designers) is still ~40 people, there's still a lot to do, and we need help doing it :)

Two Sigma Investments – New York, NY (Full Time Positions) At our core, we're a technology company applying our talents to the domain of finance. We've created a system that combines artificial intelligence and keen human insight—a system that's constantly improving and advancing. We are looking for a diverse set of technologists to join our team. Our challenges require mastery of areas such as kernel level developme…

I had a bad experience with Two Sigma in 2007 - After spending half an hour on the phone, and then a further two hours writing code for a couple of programming problems, I never hear back from either the hiring manager or the recruiter. It didn't hurt me so much that I wasn't selected, rather they consider ~5 minutes of their time to compose a rejection email to be more valuable than ~2 hours of my time.

Khan Academy - Mountain View - (full-time and intern, designers and devs)

Our mission is to provide a world-class education to anyone, anywhere. We're scaling quickly.

Our students answer over 2 million math problems per day (over 500M total so far), all generated by our open source exercise generation framework (http://github.com/khan/khan-exercises), and our videos (now from a variety of authors including Sal) have been viewed over 145MM times. We're tracking all that data and using it to customize each student's experience. We could use your help.

Working for Khan Academy is one of the highest educational impact positions you can imagine.

We're hiring designers and all types of devs -- mobile, frontend, backend, whatever you want to call yourself. Big plans ahead.

Waltham, Ma (Near Boston)

SavingStar is looking for Ruby experts to help us transition the world away from paper coupons, and enable a digital couponing future.

If you can intelligently discuss page vs. fragment caching, if scaling a website to millions of users sounds like fun and if you enjoy a fast paced, flexible environment with challenges to spare, we might be a good fit.

We're looking for someone to help improve our websites and services, both internal and external, and to work with partners to integrate SavingStar into their environments.

We're looking for someone who's used frameworks (such as Rails or Django) extensively, and is comfortable in Ruby on Rails.

Our primary database is MongoDB, so NoSQL/Schema-less experience is great.

Shoot me an email ;)

Highlight - San Francisco / Full-time / Engineering + Design / H1B

Highlight (http://highlig.ht) is looking for extraordinary engineers and designers to join our core team.

Our product is a mobile app that helps you see more information about the people around you. It is just now becoming possible thanks to recent advances in mobile technology and the product is incredibly rewarding to work on. Our days are full of interesting challenges around UI/UX, engineering, and machine learning. Our goal is to give you a sixth sense about the world around you, showing you things that you’ve never been able to see before. It’s difficult and ambitious, which is what makes it fun.

We launched in January and the response has been very exciting. We recently closed a round of funding from Benchmark Capital, SV Angel, Crunchfund, and a great group of angel investors.

We want to make Highlight an amazing place to work, with a creative, open culture that deeply values both engineering and design. If you are excited about what we are doing we would love to hear from you.

You can reach us at jobs@highlig.ht.

For more details, please see http://highlig.ht/jobs.html.
