Ask HN: Who is hiring? (December 2018)

Hi Coinbase, not complaining. Just wanted to know about my recent experience with you. Here is what happened when you called me:

CB: Since you're in the middle of your job search, and you have good work experience and we have limited time, we'll skip technical interview if you pass our test with 4.5 score or above and I will connect you right with Director of Engineering.

ME: OK

CB: Here is 40-minute TripleByte test.

ME: Done

CB (the next day): You scored a 5/5 and in the 96th percentile! I would love to move forward and have you speak with XXX, Director of Engineering

ME: OK

(non-technical call with director of engineering)

CB (next day): we have decided to proceed with other candidates (automated response)

ME: (reached out to HR, no response)

Just wanted to know if you have any updates on this? I believe you're doing a great job and I wanted to know what went wrong? (I don't believe it's my age, nationality, or technical experience). This is the only place I can get reply from you since you're not responding.

If you do this again we will ban your main account as well.

Transcend (https://transcend.io/product) | San Francisco, CA | Software Engineers | Full-time | Onsite

We’re hiring engineers that feel morally driven to work on an important product. We believe that turning the principles of data privacy into exercisable human rights is one of the most high-impact ways we can spend our time.

Transcend builds privacy infrastructure that helps consumers reclaim control of their data and companies comply with global data privacy laws. In the midst of new privacy regulations, we have the opportunity to define how modern privacy will work. Transcend will do everything in its power to bend the universe in that direction.

Our stack is Node, React, GraphQL, Terraform, and Postgres.

We’re backed by top-tier venture capital and we’re building out our core engineering team in SF.

Email me (cofounder/ceo) at ben+hn@transcend.io for more details.
