Rumble - SF Bay Area (Redwood Shores)

We're a new, well-funded startup making and publishing AAA games for browser and mobile. We're making real games for a large audience. Not ultra casual, not niche-y.

Our first title is a cooperative multiplayer 3D action-RPG. Think Diablo on Facebook. But free-to-play, and no big download. No obscure plugins, either -- we use Flash, but you wouldn't believe it. Adobe says they've never seen a higher-quality in Flash.

Seriously, check out our trailer: https://www.rumblegames.com/kingsroad

We're in closed beta. Let me know if you want to give it a test drive.

Rumble is backed by Google Ventures and Khosla Ventures ($15mm series A). We have one of the strongest founding teams the gaming industry has ever seen. (No, really: https://www.rumblegames.com/about/our-team)

We're both a developer and publisher of games, and we need help on both sides. If you want to develop the next generation of top-quality games, or you want to build and scale infrastructure to 1mm+ concurrent players, this is for you.

Positions: https://www.rumblegames.com/careers

Engineers

* Platform -- Java/Groovy/Grails/AWS (esp. Senior/Architect)

* Web -- HTML+CSS+JS+(PHP/Python/Ruby)

* Game -- Flash+AS3/Java/C/C++/C#

* Data -- Hadoop/R+ML/Stats

Other

* Producers

* Product Managers

* Analysts

* Artists

* Designers

Brooklyn, NY Full Time Custora (YC W11) is a customer analytics tool that helps retailers earn more from happier customers. To be a little more specific, we can point to a single retail customer and paint a meaningful portrait with his data: How much he’ll spend, how often he'll make purchases, what types of products he's inclined to buy, his predicted likelihood of returning, and more. Custora also integrates with e…

I would like to say thanks for the Day to Day section. I wish a lot of places would say what literally happens rather than "We use tool X and language Y to empower people to chase their dreams".

META QUESTION, How hard has it been for you to hire? Curious developer seeks more anecdotes to complement pet theories regarding current labour market.

It is extraordinarily difficult to hire in my field. What more can I tell you? (We're always hiring: http://www.matasano.com/careers --- we love talking to devs from HN.)

Don't suppose Matasano's looking for a Polish outpost? ;)

Should I ever end up in the States, like it or not, I will be beating down your door just for the chance of an interview.
