San Francisco, CA

Twilio is hiring. Want to call/text message your users, or build a product around phones? Instead of writing horrible interface code to text message or call users, people use Twilio's REST API to take care of the messages and get back to doing what they do best - building great web apps.

We are growing like crazy and hiring for lots of positions - see a full list here http://www.twilio.com/company/jobs. Two good ways to get your resume to the top of the pile: build a Twilio app, and mention this HN post in your cover letter.

Where do I get similar info about capacity for other types of visas?

Your immigration attorney. Sorry, not trying to be snarky but as someone working on a visa myself, if you need a visa and you work in tech then it pays to spend the ~$200 or so initial consultation fee to speak to an immigration lawyer who can brief you on your options. Even if your future-employer will handle the immigration work (eg on an H1b), it still pays to retain your own immigration council because their lawy…

not to mention an accountant..taxes can be a pain.
