so I'm curious-- has anyone ever made or received a job offer via these HN hiring threads?

I already have one post-phone, in-person interview lined up for a position listed here, so it seems plausible to me.

Pathable ( http://pathable.com ) - Seattle WA or Remote Pathable is hiring expert javascript engineers. We've embraced remote working and will buy you a round trip ticket anywhere in the world and two months of housing for if hired. Learn more: http://www.pathable.com/careers-at-pathable/

Please correct the syntax errors and poor logic in your job description.

Example 1:

Don't "HATE HATE HATE" anything, even IE6. Hating it is inefficient and wastes cycles. Deal with it or ignore it. Furthermore, practical people who find hatred inefficient will find your negativity offputting.

Frame it in a more positive light. "Would you like to be able to pretend IE doesn't exist and live in the joy of Chrome?" Essentially the same message as "Do you HATE HATE HATE Internet Explorer?? Do you love love love Chrome?" but way less negative.

Example 2:

"Lightening" is the gerund form of the verb "lighten," as in "lightening someone's load." While reducing someone's load will make them faster, I'm pretty sure it won't make them "lightning" fast.

Thanks.

Etsy is hiring software Engineers in Brooklyn and Remote. I believe we have one of the best engineering culture in the world. https://www.etsy.com/careers/ I manage the International Engineering group. If there are some internationalization engineers please send me a message or reply here.

Can you explain how remote working would work out in the Engineering jobs? They mostly seem to be Brooklyn based so how would you feel about applicants from, for instance, London?

I'd like to know this as well. For example, is a lot of time overlap with NY hours expected?

San Francisco, CA - Full Time - UX Designer - Splunk

Splunk is the market leader in big data. We create products that consume and analyze machine data, used by thousands of top companies. The use cases range from web app management to IT operations. Customers have even used our product to analyze elevator usage data.

We're looking for a UX designer that can wrangle difficult data design problems.

* This is primarily desktop application design with an emphasis on interaction. * Designers own products and features, meaning each designer is involved in the entire design process (research, interaction design, and visual design). * Being able to communicate with, and work alongside developers is critical. Prototyping designs in HTML/CSS/JS is an important part of that process. * Splunk is an exciting place to work with a great atmosphere, smart supportive people, and great benefits.
