Automattic | Remote | Full-time | Multiple roles | $110-$210k+ and great benefits We're looking for engineers to help us build, grow, and maintain products used by over a billion people each month across WordPress.com, WooCommerce, WordPress VIP, Jetpack, Tumblr, Beeper & Texts.com, Day One, Pocket Casts, and many more. If you love the open web, open source, radical problem ownership, and simple over pure solutions,…

Automattic going strong 20 years later and founder still recruiting on HN, thats cool :)

Last year, I had a recruiter from Automattic reach out to me. Doing my research (as I always do), I read that the interview process is quite unusual. It might be different now, but at the time a candidate went through several interviews, two weeks of paid trial, more interviews, two weeks of waiting for an answer, and little feedback the whole time. So for me, that would mean at least a month of stress and unresolved anxiety. :) Lots of people on glassdoor describe the CEO as "mercurial."

But anyway, things I liked about the company are that they tend to work with mature technology stacks (e.g. probably a culture of iterative improvement vs teardown-and-rebuild) and that all engineers start out doing three weeks of helpdesk. That should be more common in the industry.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It probably makes it easier for them to discriminate than without the video, but how is it directly more illegal under discrimination law than only hiring at in-person job fairs where you can see the same protected characteristics at the time of accepting a resume as can be seen in a video? Regardless, yes, it’s bullshit and harmful to equity in hiring. I’m certainly not defending it. Since we’re on a site run by YC,…

Understandable that there are a lot of thoughts on this and glad you pointed out that YC includes a brief video as part of the application - that's actually where we got the idea! e.g. from the YC app "Founder Video Please record a one minute video introducing the founder(s).* Make sure the file does not exceed 100 MB. Read more about the video here." We're looking to confirm that applicants can clearly and concisely…

It makes sense that you got the idea from YC, yes. Unfortunately YC is quite far from a good source on how to remove unconscious bias from hiring processes.

Consider clarifying that the applicant should not themselves be visible in the video, to reduce the risk of discrimination in favor of certain ethnicities or against others. To be clear, my suggested requirement is that the visuals in the video must support the content but that the video must not depict the appearance of the applicant.

In the hypothetical alternate reality where one can trust that applicants would not represent the work of someone else or of generative AI as their own, I would also encourage replacing the audio with text to speech, so as to reduce the risk of discrimination based on the perceived gender or the particular accent of the applicant. Unfortunately, I don’t think one can trust arbitrary applicants to be that honest, so the ability to recognize the voice from the video in subsequent interviews still provides some useful authentication value. I would like a better solution there but don’t have one to offer right now.

Fable Security | https://fablesecurity.com/jobs | SF | Full-time | Backend Engineers, Full-stack Engineers

Fable Security is tackling the most critical challenge in cybersecurity: human errors. Human error is the #1 cause of security breaches, yet employees lack effective ways to learn what they need to stay secure. Fable is here to change that.

Fable’s mission is to prevent cyber attacks (see [1] [2] [3] below) by harnessing AI to transform human behavior and improve human defenses. We use the best practices from GenAI and behavioral systems to automatically identify your employees at risk, curate hyper-personalized briefings, and deploy at the most relevant time, enabling employees to make the best security choices everywhere they work. This is a multi-billion-dollar market, and every company—from SMB to Fortune 500 enterprises—is racing to combat this problem.

We are hiring backend and full-stack engineers to build out our data targeting, video generation and delivery, and other parts of our stack.

Our team works from our San Francisco office 3 days a week, and places high value on mutual trust, execution, and delivering highly differentiating product experiences and results to our customers.

Fable is founded by the early team from Abnormal Security ($5B+ valuation) and backed by Greylock Partners, the investors behind Palo Alto Networks, Okta, Rubrik, Figma, and others. Our team has built many of the iconic products at Meta, Twitter, Flexport, and more. Our team has alumni from Waterloo, Columbia, Berkeley, Purdue, CMU, Stanford, and USC.
