Close - San Francisco - Full-Time

We're a seed funded startup based in SoMA helping transform how business development is done. Our network intelligence platform aggregates data about businesses and people from a number of sources to understand the movers and shakers behind professional transactions. We're building a product that users are literally begging for and dreaming about, and we need a great team to execute on the vision.

Hiring:

Product Manager - Lead our product development team to new heights. Experience with product market fit, enterprise products, API platforms and Agile required.

Backend (data) engineer - Help us get, understand, and surface new data. Experience with API processing, web crawling, Python, and designing scalable architecture required. Graph databases and machine learning a plus.

You'll be joining a fast-moving, rapidly changing startup in a space ripe for disruption, with a small, nimble team. If you can hit the ground running and thrive in the midst of ambiguity and chaos (hey, we're a startup!) then we'd love to hear from you.

At this time we are only considering local candidates. No offshore firms or new grads please.

Email your resume/linkedin and github, with a note on why this space interests you, to our CEO Falon: jobs@close.co.

The Climate Corporation (San Francisco, Seattle, Full time, INTERN/H1B) - http://climate.com/careers =========================== ====== What we do ========= =========================== Our mission is to build great software for farmers. We use a combination of weather monitoring, agronomic modeling, satillite imagery, and weather simulation to provide data and insights to those farmers. ==============================…

What is up with all the negative reviews on Glassdoor?

Some are half truths, some are bullshit, and some are right on point.

A lot of people's experiences are isolated to their teams. I haven't experienced any of the things in those reviews but I know some who have.

We are growing fast and with that comes it's own set of problems.

The COO mentioned in the reviews recently left FYI.

These statements are my own and my not reflect what my employer has to say about it.

Scribd (YC '06), San Francisco - VISA, FULL-TIME, and INTERN are all welcome

Scribd ("Netflix for eBooks", top 100 website, 50 people) is hiring talented hackers of all kinds to help us build the library of the 21st century.

We've hired EIGHT full-time people and TONS of interns from these "Who is Hiring" threads ... it really works!

We're looking for people who want to work with:

* Ruby on Rails (we're the #2 largest rails site, after Twitter)

* Javascript (well, we use Coffeescript)

* iOS OR Android (we're a top 10 eBook app with more reviews than Wikipedia, with a small mobile team)

* Machine Learning / data mining / recommendations - think Netflix prize, but for books!

* Big data and web infrastructure - we're big users of hive, impala, and hadoop

* Product manager and design (UI or UX) roles too

* Internships: junior standing or above for all areas of engineering. We hire several interns every summer and year-round.

That said, we care way more about your personality and general hacking skills then what languages you've used so far, so if you haven't used these but want to break into mobile or web development, this could be a good opportunity for you. We've hired people from these threads with everywhere from 0 to 10 years of experience.

We're profitable, very well funded and have a really fun office environment (go-karts + a rock climbing wall!). Scribd alumni have gone on to found 4 other YCombinator companies, more than from any other startup. We think this says something about the kind of people that we like to hire, and we love hiring people with entrepreneur and startup ambitions. We are also always looking for international people interested in moving to the US and can help you secure a visa.

More info is at http://www.scribd.com/jobs, but as a HN user, feel free to apply directly by emailing me at jared at scribd.com.
