Pinterest (www.pinterest.com/about/careers) is hiring. We are in downtown Palo Alto. Our engineering team is still really small (7) from places like Google, Apple, Quora, Facebook and Yelp. Pinterest is doing billions of PV's each month and is scaling very quickly. We’re looking for great engineers who get excited at the prospect of shipping to millions of users on an a daily basis.

Are you guys thinking of taking any interns for the summer?

Hi, you might have heard of the company I work for, Yammer. We were in the news recently, and we're looking to hire in San Francisco. We've got a variety of positions open, but since this is Hacker News, I'll tell you about our engineering team. Every single engineer here is the type of person that can be honest with themselves and others. We like to use tools and technologies because they allow us to build things ou…

This is a well written comment. The organization you described sounds really interesting. One change I've always wanted to see in Corporate America is transparent pricing. I just visited your website and there's a "contact sales" button. Is that something you guys are working on?

Men* wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in event of success.

We are located in Mountain View. http://matterport.com/jobs/ email…

>Men* wanted for hazardous journey You're gonna take too much flak for that. Rewrite it and then bury the body in a large field and pretend it never happened. :)

I think is a reference... to an ad written in the same way. but it was to recruite people to go the first expedition that was going to cross the south pole... I think they all died by the way.

Stripe. We're based in Palo Alto, CA, and we're hiring full-time engineers and designers. More information at https://stripe.com/jobs . (We especially love solutions to our puzzles.) H1B applicants welcome (almost half of the people at Stripe grew up outside the US). Intern applications also welcome.

Its interesting, I applied two months ago and at that time H1B were not welcome!
