Jobr - San Francisco, CA - Full Stack Developer, Lead Machine Learning Engineer, Lead iOS/Android Mobile Developer - 10 FTEs - http://www.jobrapp.com

Jobr is the leading mobile-first jobs application combining a Tinder-style interface with a Pandora-like recommendation engine. We were founded just 1.5 years ago, and all key metrics continue to grow 50-100% MoM. We’ve raised $2M in funding from a group of strategic investors and advisors including Lowercase Capital, Workday, the Tinder founders, Redpoint Ventures, Lerer Ventures, and Eniac Ventures. Our platform has over 5M jobs across virtually every industry and covers the entire US and Canada, and we’re expanding internationally later this year.

We’re looking for sharp, analytical engineers to help us continue to move quickly and scale engineering operations. Ideal candidates have strong startup experience and have a breadth of knowledge throughout multiple parts of the software ecosystem. That said, we'll trade attitude and potential for experience any day of the week.

A bit of our stack:

* All major systems are written in Go (Golang), accessing data in MySQL with a Redis layer

* Redis MQ for message queueing

* Scala data processing on Spark

* Elasticsearch on Found

* Periscope and Mixpanel for analytics / dashboarding

* Table tennis for stress relief and friendly competition

We treat employees like founders, compensate very competitively, have a really cool office space, and just generally like each other. Shoot over an introduction if you’re interested! intro [at] jobrapp [dot] com

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I reached out to this employer during last month's Who Is Hiring thread. They sent me one email saying they really thought I had a strong background, then another email asking me for times when I would be available to have an interview. I listed several times in my reply, but then I did not receive any follow-up communication of any kind. No confirmation, no rejection, just no response of any kind. Hopefully they hav…

Our sincerest apologies that things slipped through. We were able to identify you based on the description above, and I'll personally follow up in hopes of making amends. Last month was our first time posting in the HN Hiring thread, and we didn't know how much volume we'd get. We responded in a very ad-hoc fashion, without implementing enough process around it. After some promising candidates came through the HN pip…

I just wanted to add that Andrew did reach out and offer an apology over the mistake in their process. As I told him, I think this speaks very highly of Predata. Very few companies would be willing to do such a human gesture. It sounds like they have the hiring management sorted out now and you can all effectively disregard my earlier comment. I am glad to hear it.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

1. I had a video technical interview and it went well. 2. The interviewer said I would make a great fit and tried to introduce me to the CTO. 3. I introduced myself to the CTO and received no response. 4. I contacted the interviewer a week later. He apologized and tried to contact the CTO again. 5. I contacted the interviewer another week later. He apologized and tried to contact the CTO again. 6. I contacted the int…

That is very unfortunate. A CTO for a well funded small tech company should have recruiting as a top priority if they are looking to grow. It is really the only metric from which to measure an effective technical executive at that stage. It doesn't reflect well if you can't hire because your messaging is off or you aren't well organized.

Now my messaging is off and I'm unorganized? I can't comment on the circumstances of the original complaint given that I don't know the identity of the person involved. I can say that I've spoken with hundreds of candidates across a variety of technical and non-technical roles. We've hired ~15 over the last year and hope to find more folks that are excited to build with us. I can also say that as a "technical executive" (ha!) my top priority is building a product that people love; hiring is a large part of that. I'd caution against coming to such specific conclusions based off of very little information.
