Likeable Local - Portland, Maine preferred, NYC/Boston also possible We are seeking both Full Time and Summer Internships!

Likeable Local is a tech-startup-spinoff of the award-winning agency Likeable Media, and we are looking for Software Engineering Summer Interns and Software Engineers that will have the opportunity to jump right in and be on a small team developing features that will be visible and impactful and used immediately.

We are looking for people that work hard, seek out new things, and love challenges, problem solving, and learning. You want to be a substantial contributor and are interested in the “full stack” of technologies from details of server configuration, back-end, front-end, and mobile platforms.

Summer Interns: want to spend a summer in Portland, Maine? (Our development all happens up here at http://www.thinktankportland.com/ ). We are a close-knit, work-hard, play-hard team and we'll be doing at least one trip to the Likeable Local headquarters in NYC and also one Boston field trip for the summer (a Red Sox game outing) so we're planning to balance out the hard work and awesome learning experiences with some team fun as well!

Likeable Local offers an integrated software solution that allows small businesses to create, enhance and manage their social media presence. Likeable Local was founded in 2012 and has a deployed product that integrates with Facebook and Twitter. The software is sold on a subscription basis, allowing for attractive recurring revenue economics, and is already being used by a growing customer base in its initial vertical, dentists, as a result of a strategic partnership with Henry Schein.

Skype - Palo Alto, CA - Software Engineer Fulltime, H1B

We are building large-scale elastic services to support the evolution of the Skype network. The important part is that we have a lot of fun building and owning distributed systems and are looking for engineers who can come in and push their first feature to production within a few days of starting and who can also help us get that duration down to hours. The stack is primarily azure/.net/C#, although there is some node.js in the house and when we do UIs we don't use biggish server-side stacks. But when we do server-side systems we run them on 1000s of instances and support 10^5 req/sec all day, every day.

The key is that we own our own systems and hence our destiny. You can't ask for anything more than that.

You can contact me at f00biebletch at gmail (quicker) or you can go through the official posting (slower): https://careers.microsoft.com/jobdetails.aspx?ss=&pg=0&#...

Earlier quoted context omitted.

why is this relevant? [edit: fwiw, the question so obviously has the answer "no" (for hn-related values of "scale") that it doesn't seem to be an honest enquiry at all, but an attempt to make a point (for some hn-related value of "point").]

It might not be relevant in this particular thread. I was genuinely interested in the point of view of the person who is running such business. EDIT: I see, but I guess I'm not that much HNer to agree with you. Anyway, I got quite interesting answers (including yours).

Ahh…I don't run the business. In fact, I'm a pretty recent hire.

From where I sit, it's clearly a different beast from where I've worked before (BigCo and a YC startup). We're probably not going to get rich or have a million-user product, but I wasn't ever chasing that anyways.
