Salary?

'We offer a competitive salary' Details revealed upon speaking more but it's certainly attractive compared to the other SF Bay Area tech companies.

half of the time, or more, "we offer a competitive salary" is code for "Our salary is not very competitive."

Define a range, so you aren't wasting your time or other people's time.

Disclaimer: I am not interested in the position, just providing an observation about a lot of job postings of this nature.

Shopify (Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal, Canada). http://www.shopify.com/careers If you're interested in ecommerce, physical retail (point of sale), or payments product management, talk to me directly. We have many positions I haven't posted yet.

Adam, what's Shopify's relocation policy? I am a US citizen living in New York right now, but have been considering emigrating for some time.

Are you willing to hire competent developers who don't have professional experience with Ruby, but wouldn't mind learning?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Just had a recruiter from Google contact me. They do pretty often, once a year. I usually tell them I am not interested. This time the guy mentioned they have some interesting work. So I said ok, I'll talk to him. Set up a time. Waiting for the call. Get an email that he can't make it. Ok, reschedule. Set a new time. Get confirmation he would call. No call, no email not anything. I am thinking WTF. I wasn't even the…

Similar experience. Took 4-6 weeks to get a reply to my application email (I'd actually forgotten about it). 4-6 weeks after that (and a few emails from me chasing it up) Google were able to schedule a phone interview. Interviewer was really friendly, and I was pretty excited. Got an email shortly after saying "great that went well, can we fly you to (nearest Google office)". Replied sure - I'm free anytime. 4 weeks…

Also similar to mine. Someone called me first time but the phone call was bad and he scheduled a new meeting, but he didn't call me back in the scheduled day. 2 days later he sent me a mail trying to reschedule it. As I was travelling i gave him a new number to call. He called in the first one and sent me a message saying that i wasn't there. I think i sent something like 5 emails later to explain that he called in the wrong number, but he never response me back.

http://www.moka5.com redirects to https and isn't responding either. You guys seem to be either hard down or misconfigured. Maybe you should be looking to hire/grow DevOps too? ;)

Looks fine to me now.
