Scribd (YC '06), San Francisco - H1B, FULL-TIME, and INTERN

Scribd (online library of books and documents, top 100 website) is hiring talented hackers and other technical people for a broad range of technologies.

We've hired FIVE full-time people and numerous interns from these "Who is Hiring" threads, including TWO this year already ... 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 (we recently switched to Coffeescript and are loving it)

* iOS

* Machine Learning / data mining / recommendations

* Scalability, search engines, big data, analytics

* DevOps and web infrastructure

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 zipline!).

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.

Generally we're looking for full-time and intern hires (junior year or older) who want to move to SF. H1B and relocation are no problem. We've still got openings for internships this summer.

Hi, has the 45 hour per week rule been changed?

I've been here at BB a long time and I can tell you that there has never been any rule dictating a 45 hour work week. Where did you hear that from?

During an interview at the London office I asked about working hours and I was told you can pick from either 8:00 to 18:00 or 9:00 to 19:00.

I was also told that my money making side projects would not be allowed or would have to be "approved".

The people who interviewed me were really nice though and they did not wear a suit.

What is the approach to remote working (becoming a meme here !) PS That's quite an "interesting" photo at ishiboo.com

ishiboo.com is famous hacker Danny Dulai (aka nirva)'s domain. Seems like he does whatever he wants. So the picture doesn't reflect on that post.

Is Danny famous? Apart from splitting his own tongue?

I mean, he's obviously famous among his friends. :)

Incidentally: I know Andrew well, and actually almost moved to NYC to work with him at Bloomberg. I think he is underselling the role a little bit. His team sits on top of one of the greatest mountains of real time data in the world, and gets paid to invent and execute cool things to do with it. I'm pretty familiar with the environment he's working in, and it is the least stereotypically "BigCo" environment in probably all of finance.

If you're remotely interested in Andrew's problem domain, strongest possible recommend; go talk to him!

San Francisco / Portland, OR

Urban Airship has tons of engineering and other positions open: http://urbanairship.com/careers/

We help mobile app owners manage their users. Customers drop our SDK into their app (iOS, Android, Windows, etc.), then they can go to our elegant web interface to send push notifications, setup triggered events, segment their audience, create a pass/offer for Passbook, and more.

There are over 1 billion app installs with our SDK in it. Many customers are huge brand name apps you would recognize (10M+ users each). That's a lot of devices we push data to, and it's a lot of data coming back when devices phone home (analytics data, location data, etc.). Our engineering targets for push are 100,000 messages sent per second or more. It's interesting because a lot of our traffic is outbound (us sending things to phones) as well as inbound (phones calling back to us). It's kind of crazy, we have to make sure we don't DDOS ourselves and our customers.

I work on Audience Segmentation. Customers can slice and dice who they want to send to. We do a lot of GIS/location indexing, as well as indexing based on the preferences and behavior of mobile users.

Our engineering roles are available in Portland or San Francisco, your choice. We also have a Digital Wallet team in Palo Alto that is going hard at Passbook and other digital wallet tools.

If you interested email me at ben (at) urbanairship (dot) com. It's fun!

Back-end Stack: Java (modular/modern), Protocol Buffers, Kafka, HBase, Hadoop (Mapr), some Cassandra. Front-end Stack: Python (Django), modern CSS/HTML, JavaScript, cool map interfaces

The website under that picture read like an April fools joke.
