Udacity - Mountain View, CA - http://www.udacity.com

Higher education is broken, and we're working on fixing it.

Udacity was born out of a Stanford University experiment in which Sebastian Thrun and Peter Norvig offered their "Introduction to Artificial Intelligence" course online to anyone, for free. Over 160,000 students in more than 190 countries enrolled. Since then, we're grown to offer classes in everything from web development (taught by Steve Huffman, one of Reddit's cofounders) to cryptography, biology, design, entrepreneurship (taught by Steve Blank), and more.

We make all of our own classes, and we're trying to fundamentally change how people think about learning. To see our full class lineup, visit http://www.udacity.com/courses

We're looking for amazing f/t engineers (front-end, back-end, and full-stack) to help us in our quest to revolutionize higher education. To read more about our stack and what we're working on, go here: http://qr.ae/NuSm7

Sounds interesting? Email jobs+hn@udacity.com

Rumble - SF Bay Area (San Mateo, CA) -- https://www.rumblegames.com

We're a well-funded, 40-person startup making and publishing AAA games for browser and mobile. We're making real games for a large audience. Not ultra casual, not too niche-y.

Our first title is KingsRoad, a cooperative multiplayer 3D action-RPG. Think Diablo for browser/tablet. But free-to-play, and no big download. No obscure plugins, either -- we use Flash, but you wouldn't believe it. Adobe says they've never seen anything higher quality in Flash. Check it out on or off Facebook: http://apps.facebook.com/kingsroadgame or http://www.rumblegames.com/kingsroad

Our second title is Ballistic, a first-person shooter for browser and tablet. It's in closed beta currently, so ping me if you'd like to check it out. In the meantime, here's a trailer from 6 months ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9D3CHKbBDtY

We're also working on a third title, a sort of LoL meets PvZ. Come by the office to take it for a test drive!

Rumble is backed by Google Ventures, Khosla Ventures, and Korean gaming company Nexon. We have one of the strongest founding teams the gaming industry has ever seen: https://www.rumblegames.com/about/our-team

We're both a developer and publisher of games, and we need help on both sides. If you want to develop the next generation of top-quality games, or you want to build and scale infrastructure to 1mm+ concurrent players, this is for you.

Positions: https://www.rumblegames.com/careers (contact me directly if something isn't listed)

Engineers

* Platform -- Groovy/Grails/Java/AWS (especially Senior and Architect/Lead/VP)

* Ops -- Chef/AWS/Hybrid/Docker?/Mesos+Marathon? (especially DevOps Lead)

* Web -- HTML+CSS+JS+(your choice: PHP/Python/Ruby/Grails)

* Game -- Flash+AS3/Java/C/C++/C#/Unity

* Data -- Redshift/Hadoop/Kafka/R/ML/Stats/Spark+Mesos?

Seed Equity - San Francisco

International startups struggle to raise funding and grow because they lack access to venture capital. Seed Equity is on a mission to help these startups get off the ground by providing them the power of equity crowdfunding. We believe the best entrepreneurs in the world should be funded no matter where they are, and due to recent legislation and new technology, this vision is becoming a reality. Help us empower the startups outside of Silicon Valley.

Tech Stack -> The same tech stack used by StackOverflow: C#, ASP.NET MVC4, AngularJS, SQL Server. Feels like Rails, but scales like crazy. (Amazing fact: the entire StackExchange network runs on 12 web servers, 2 database servers, 2 caching servers, and 2 load-balancing servers. See: http://bit.ly/vihD5R.)

Challenges -> Highly scalable web services. A secure storage system for sensitive financial data that rests on top of cloud storage services.

Team -> 2 engineers in SF, 3 business operators in Salt Lake City. The business executive team founded and ran InterbankFX, which had customers in over 100 countries and was one of the top 5 forex firms in the US before it was acquired a few years ago. We're fully funded due to that acquisition.

Benefits -> $90k - $105k, 0.3% - 0.5% equity, health/dental/vision insurance, 401k

Our site (currently in private beta): https://seedequity.com AngelList profile: https://angel.co/seed-equity

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Applied long ago but never heard from your team. If someone spends time writing a letter to join your team other than just attaching a resume, it would be nice to let the person know if you are interested or not.

Sorry this has happened, that's not good at all. I know that a lot of effort goes into getting in touch with us (or anyone else). There was a time when I was personally handling all the hiring, and I struggled to get back to everyone on top of everything else I was doing. We have a much better hiring process now and we've committed to responding to every email. Sorry again that you had a bad experience here.

very cool of you to take the time to respond to this personally, joel.
