Amazon Web Services is hiring!

There's a job listing at http://aws.amazon.com/jobs (as I write this there are 48 listings). We need hard-core developers, testers, product managers, marketing managers, support engineers, sales folks, and business developers.

If you know me and vice-versa (sitting in the audience at a conference and hearing me speak is generally not sufficient to establish this condition), track me down and send me a resume so that I can do a personal referral.

Otherwise, follow the directions on the site.

3banana is hiring -- we have an iPhone, Android, and web app.

We speak scala, Obj-C, Java, python.

Problem we are solving:

I have all these bits of information that I want to find again, emailing them to myself is just a mess. What was the name of the movie Ed said I should watch? That was a really funny sign, where did I throw the photo again?

3banana makes it easy to capture and share information.

You throw it into the iPhone / Android / Web, and you find things using hashtags.

"surf wise #movie" "chasing ghosts #movie"

All the platforms are synced up, and you can share to twitter/facebook with one click.

We are half a block from sunny South Park in SF.

Shoot us an email at hn@3banana.com

Danke!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

No need for downmods; nostrademons works at Google. However, won't HN people applying through that method just be sent in to a black hole?

If you're someone whose username I'd recognize, you can send me a resume (my e-mail is in my HN profile) and I can refer you. That sends you to the top of the pile that HR looks at (technically, I think it's two separate queues, and they empty the referral queue before they look at the slushpile), though you still have to get through the interview process. I got in through a referral - I'm guessing it helps quite a b…

Besides a referral what got you in there? I can't imagine, from what I've read, that it is an easy task once they give you call back.

FreshBooks is hiring a ton of people right now. Some that are not even on the hiring page. I can attest that it is a very awesome place to work. http://www.freshbooks.com/careers/ (tell 'em in the email that you found out about the opportunity from Hacker News, the founder loves ycombinator)

Freshbooks is awesome. I started using it about 6 months ago and it reminds me of 37signals products in the sense that just using it you get the idea that it would be a good place to work.

Do you know if they are hiring developers?

Yahoo has an opening on for their application platform team. Expert javascript a must, PHP and/or Java a plus. It's a tough role, but rewarding. I've held the position for the last year and half, and it's been a good experience. (I'm moving over to YUI.) Great team, lots of interesting problems to solve.

I'm not trying to be a jackass here so I apologize if I come off that way, but what's the YUI team up to? I havn't seen a bugfix update to the 2.0 branch in a while. Is everyone focused on 3.0?
