Robinhood -- https://www.robinhood.com -- Palo Alto, CA (careers@robinhood.com) Robinhood started with a simple idea: using technology, we can re-think the way financial services operate. We cut out the fat that makes other financial services costly — legacy technology, hundreds of storefront locations, and paper-based accounting. And as a result, we radically reduce costs. Our team members have a diverse set of acad…

We gave you our email when you launched and never heard back. What is up? Or did you setup a fake landing page to gauge interest and then started on the idea? Curious.

Centervue - http://www.centervue.com - Padova, Italy We're looking for * A Rails backend person. Postgres, Rails 3.1. Knowledge of AWS is a big plus. * An Android person, with deep knowledge of Android, including the whole OS (Cyanogen mod). Some design skills along with this would be nice. Other stuff that's nice: Erlang, C++ (Qt). It's a good company, doing something that helps people in the real world. The wages a…

Just because you're physically based in Italy, doesn't mean you're supposed to give people Italian low wages... You should consider globally - if your company operates on global scale and has income similar to US company, why not give US-level salaries?

Let's see:

* It's not mine to decide - I work there, and don't decide who gets what.

* The cost of living is lower than in other places, and the economy is pretty bad, so locally, at least, they pay pretty well and have less competition.

* Jobs are not global: pay in Des Moines Iowa is probably different from that in San Francisco. A company in San Francisco cannot easily hire Europeans due to the US' terrible immigration bureaucracy, whereas anyone from Helsinki to Lisbon can come work in Italy without too much hassle.

* I don't know too much about the financial side of the company, but operating in Italy is not exactly easy on a business: http://www.doingbusiness.org/rankings

* Once again, I'm not privy to the financial details, but being involved with technology that helps people with vision problems does not carry the same kind of valuation that something really beneficial to the world like Instagram or WhatsApp does.

we're hiring web developers. Must know some JS, but other than this we're not too fussy on experience. (though someone who knows AngularJS would be great).

Without being immodest I think we're pretty innovative. We're building our HQ inside a disused Methodist chapel with a Pirateship theme. And particularly interested in culture change, sustainability, "cybernetic" working...

(ps: if youre really keen an interesting in backend systems integration (HL7 messaging) drop us a line too.

Blend Labs | https://blendlabs.com/ | San Francisco | Software Engineer

The last 10 years saw a massive boom in the US real estate market fueled by troubled loans buyers couldn’t afford. An even larger, chaotic bust followed, with losses of $2.8 trillion, along with the homes of more than 14 million Americans. While the economy has since improved, many processes within the mortgage industry have not. Gains have been made primarily in paperwork and manpower, not technology. Operations remain manual and slow and consumers are not happy.

At Blend, we're fixing these problems by replacing the archaic software and manual processes currently used for home lending. We're applying modern data analysis tools and consumer-grade UI/UX to streamline home lending for both borrowers and banks and make the entire process more transparent.

Our team of 20 includes engineers formerly at Palantir, Google, Stanford, CMU, and Caltech. We're backed by Peter Thiel, Formation 8, Andreessen Horowitz, Max Levchin, Lightspeed Ventures, and other prominent investors. Our stack includes NodeJS, Spark, AngularJS, ElasticSearch, and Golang.

Has anyone had success with this lately? I once posted a description of the company I work for, stating interested users should apply online. I also offered to answer any questions people had via email, which was a mistake. I probably got a dozen resumes from users unable to follow simple directions, mostly from kids in India that were going to finish school in 1-2 years. I also got spam from a few firms looking to f…

Honestly, I doubt anyone who posts a generic jobs@ or online resume black holes will have any more success than any other recruitment platform. It's a real shame, because the density of smart people on HN is much greater.

The key is probably knowing your audience. Personally, I gave up after I shot a few e-mails to jobs@ from here and never got a response. I imagine better hackers simply don't have the patience.
