Just as a response to Ave's comment above, I've chatted with Alex a couple times and he is a good guy, so take my good data point with the bad.

Just because you've "chatted" with someone doesn't mean that you know him in any professional capacity, let alone his company. Good people can work at bad companies and follow their rules.

Calling someone in for an interview, then filling it and not telling that person is a douche move.

San Francisco, CA (SOMA) - FULL-TIME + INTERNS

Quizlet.com is redefining how students study from middle school social studies to university-level Arabic to GRE prep. We deploy new stuff daily to our user base of 6 million students and teachers per month. We're a small, scrappy team in San Francisco, working hard to transform how people learn using technology (read our 17,000+ testimonials: http://quizlet.com/testimonials/).

We're looking for entrepreneurial engineers who can do it all: cook up great ideas, design, and implement new features, build for huge scale, get deep in the heads of users and create clean user experiences. Do whatever it takes to make a huge impact!

You should love coding (we're not religious about specific technologies, but we use PHP, MySQL, Javascript, HTML5, Node.js, Puppet, Git, and Sphinx, among others)

    Solid interpersonal, organizational and task-management skills

San Francisco, Lead Python Developer

At Tribal Crossing we work on creating games with deep story lines and engaging characters, something missing from most Facebook games today. Tribal Crossing is looking for a strong software engineer to lead the future development of our backend game engine, refine our custom system for expressing game logic and flow, and develop new games from the planning stage to post-launch.

What we're NOT:

* We're NOT working in a sweatshop making clones of Zynga games

* We're NOT making reskins of Evony, Kingdoms of Camelot, Atlantis, etc

* We're NOT letting metrics rule our lives (Star Wars wasn't created through metrics)

What we ARE:

* We ARE making games that are focused on delivering amazing story lines

* We ARE creating characters that players will care about

* We ARE building tools that will allow allow content creators to do 1 and 2

Why You Should Apply:

* TECHNOLOGY: We embrace cutting edge technology if it saves us time in the long run. Ask us about how we wrote our own DSL that in turn generates code for serializing game data and defining API routes. Or perhaps watch our webinar with Membase about how we are able to support millions of users with NO sysadmin and a tiny team. Bigger doesn't always mean better, if you know how to use the right tools.

* INNOVATION: We have built a wide range of tools and processes that greatly reduce both low level work and endless cross-functional meetings. By making sure team members are unblocked and focused on high value activities, we're able to spend more time on adding innovation to our games.

* IMPACT: We've signed some long term deals with publishers that want to distribute our games on the web and mobile platforms. We are looking for folks that want to join on this initial traction and help take it to the next level. We will be asking for your opinion so be ready to have one.

If that sounds interesting, you should apply here: http://www.tribalcrossing.com/jobs/
