Earlier quoted context omitted.

It's a filtering mechanisim. If you aren't familiar with Etsy, then you probably aren't the person they're looking for. Much like with reddit, we posted the jobs on the blog because we wanted people familiar with the site.

With all due respect, I'm not sure there's a correlation between being familiar with and being the kind of person said startup is looking for. It's your prerogative, of course, but that sort of filtering doesn't seem very optimal to me. Shouldn't you want to inform people of the awesome and important work you're doing?

Whoops, sorry about that! Totally fair criticism. I wasn't thinking that deeply about it, just quickly adding to the page. And though we do love people who are familiar with Etsy and are into the mission, it's certainly not a requirement.

For those who are unfamiliar (since I can no longer edit my post below): Etsy is the global handmade marketplace. Our mission is to empower people to change the way the global economy works. We see a world in which very-very small businesses have much-much more sway in shaping the economy, local living economies are thriving everywhere, and people value authorship and provenance as much as price and convenience. We are bringing heart to commerce and making the world more fair, more sustainable, and more fun. As I mentioned below, tons more info and positions at http://www.etsy.com/careers, as well as contact info in my profile for any questions you may have.

San Francisco, CA (Mission District)

awe.sm are building a social media analytics platform. Lots of companies have the same use-case: they need to track their content as it travels through Twitter and Facebook, and capture how much traffic that generates them, and ultimately how much money that makes them, e.g. in purchases, signups or page views. We do all of that for them, so they don't have to reinvent the wheel. We have a bunch of APIs and big-data crunching to make it possible, and we're getting bigger and faster and adding features all the time.

We're hiring 2x front-end engineers, and 2x back-end engineers:

http://awe.sm/jobs

For front-end: we have a web app written in Backbone.js, and are looking for people who are (or want to be) great at JavaScript, and are already great at CSS.

For back-end: we are more concerned with "smart and gets things done" than your actual language set, but big data and high-performance real-time systems should be interesting to you. Currently we have systems written in PHP, Ruby (on Sinatra) and a fair amount of Bash.

We're a team of 10, rising to 14 once we hire you people. Our perks include offices with an awesome view ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/seldo/6326815086/in/photostream ) at 22nd and Mission, catered lunch 3x a week, and a company IRC server, which should tell you a lot about the kind of devs we are.

Singly, sponsoring The Locker Project (http://lockerproject.org), is building an open source data locker to put you in control of the information you have on N services, and an application platform to make it all useful. We believe end-users should have absolute power over how their data is stored and used, and developers should be able to build on it without setting up servers or authing infinity service (we do it for you). We've just launched to developers (come play!) and are looking for people who {heart} data and want to charge through scaling and design iterations with us.

Apply through https://singly.com/#About-WorkWithUs or kristjan@singly.com, or just come hang with us in #lockerproject on Freenode.
