We're hiring engineers! #10 on Crain's Best Places to Work in NYC. #47 on Forbes' America's Most Promising Companies. We handle many billions of events per day, we're hooked up to all the big ad exchanges, and we've got a world-class data science team. But we're also still pretty small on the engineering team, and everyone gets their hands dirty and makes a real impact. You'll learn a lot. We write mostly Java. Hadoo…

some more information: We play Ultimate or Soccer on Fridays, we have a company band, we work sane hours, we don't track vacation (and not in the 'so nobody ever takes any' sense), and we Get Stuff Done. You'll learn a lot from working here, regardless of your current level of experience. You'll work directly with a world-class data science team (winners of multiple KDD Best Paper and other awards) that keeps us on t…

We play Ultimate or Soccer on Fridays,

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I stopped reading the instant I saw the word "unicorn". No, just no.

But the narwhal is so 2008. The Unicorn is coming back around! Like the 70's...for the third time.

I propose that, what with unicorns numbering one-third of the population in many areas, we simply cut to the chase by declaring that our firms will henceforth only hire demigod alicorn princesses. This will convey exactly the desired degree of hyperbolic rarity we intend.

The fact that there are only four known alicorn princesses ever isn't going to stop every firm insisting that each and every candidate hoping to interview provide strong evidence that he or she is one of the four alicorn princesses.
