If you'd like to apply to SpaceX go through another recruiter. I applied through Ryan a while back. He was unprofessional and kept getting mixed up with the schedule. In the end I did 6+ hours of phone interviews and a 4 hour coding test. I sent in my results and was completely ignored. No feedback, no response to my inquiries. Honestly one of the most insulting things that's ever happed to me. Go on Linkedin, SpaceX…

Hi Ninjay, My apologies for not getting back to you and your candidate experience. This is deeply regrettable and something I would like to apologize for over the phone. Can you please e-mail me when you have a chance? I would like to get more information if possible so I can figure out where I dropped the ball. Sincerely, Ryan

The shuttle has launched Ryan.

We are looking for folks who were geeky about money when they were kids (their lemonade stand went international!) and understand how technology can be used to empower and educate. We are building a team that is passionate about building simple and delightful front end experiences, sophisticated but elegant backends, and never forgets that the user comes first.

Software Engineer at Aircloak - REMOTE ((UTC +2) +- 2)

My name is Sebastian, and I am the CTO at Aircloak. Aircloak is a young and well-funded startup working on privacy preserving data processing and analytics. We are a spinout from the German Max-Planck Institute for Software System research institute and receive a lot of backing and support from the institute and their extended network.

Our technology allows us to process highly private streams of data and only ever make fully anonymous data available to our customers. One of the features that make our system unique is that no one, including operators, customers, and ourselves, ever has access to the sensitive raw data. This property holds true even after we update the software running on the machines processing the sensitive data!

You should:

    - be intelligent
    - have a good sense of humour
    - be an amazing programmer
    - wish to change the world
Our system spans many machines and services, with major components written in Erlang and Java, in addition to components written in C, C# and ruby. Knowledge of functional programming is a plus. Experience with web development is not going to hurt either.

The founding team consists of recent University of Cambridge graduates and a director at the Max-Planck Institute. In the past month we have also been joined by two excellent engineers.

The work environment is highly international and diverse, and we would like to keep it that way. We are looking to hire one additional engineer, and are in the lucky position where we can afford to be picky with whom we choose. Our team is distributed, and we would therefore expect you to work remotely as well. We would prefer if you were located within one or two timezones of our own (UTC+2). We offer good and stable salary, generous equity, exciting problems to solve, and a fabulous team, and in turn expect you to be driven, social, and good at solving problems.

We hope to hear from you. Please email us at jobs@aircloak.com if you have any questions!

You can find more on our website: http://www.aircloak.com/join.html

Nirav, could you please reply to an email? At least when it is from a HN user. Thanks. EDIT: I sent an email more than a month ago. Second one two weeks ago. No reply. So what's the problem? (asking to downvoters)

Your request is 100% legitimate. People put a lot of time and effort into applying to jobs. Not answering for a month is just not acceptable. Even a reply that says "We're still reviewing your application" is good enough. I hear from friends this happens in companies which have the resources and people and that's just shows the real company culture, the one not mentioned in the careers pages.

"1500+ SAT scores required." Hope your product has something to do with SAT tests, because otherwise I'd say you "don't have enough work experience" when it comes to understanding talent.

We prefer working with people with lots of intellectual horsepower.

Who are from the USA or Canada.
