Criteo - Software Engineers and Research Scientists. http://criteo.com San Francisco, Palo Alto, Los Angeles , CA Paris, France

Frontend/Backend/Everything in Between. Data Scientists, Machine Learning Experts. The Criteo Prediction Engine analyzes 230Tb of data every day.

Criteo is a performance-based internet advertising company. We historically focus on display ads with an emphasis in retargeting strategies.

Criteo does not have a large presence in the USA, but we're a rapidly expanding global company with offices everywhere I've mentioned. Here's some stats to put our footprint in perspective:

- $198b sales transactions analyzed in 2013 - 590b+ ads served in 2013 - 994 million unique users globally (comScore MMX, September 2014, Age 15+) - $12b in post-click sales in year ending June 30, 2014 - 6000+ advertisers across 50+ countries

In case you missed the significance, there's about 2 billion internet users, and half of them saw an advertisement placed by Criteo last year.

I'm an engineer here at Criteo, so feel free to reach out to me for info on our tech stack, what life is like at the company, and any other questions. Also I can put you in touch with a recruiter directly if you contact me (I'm not sure where the jobvite submissions go).

Scalyr - Frontend, Backend, Devops Engineers - San Francisco Peninsula - $110k-$150k+, >1% equity Hi, I’m Steve Newman. You might remember me from such HN posts as "Searching 20 GB/sec" and "EC2 I/O". We're rebuilding server and log monitoring from the ground up, bringing Google Search levels of power and responsiveness to operations visibility. We have a small, tight team (lots of room for personal growth), traction…

Liars! Frontend, backend, junior, senior -- if you have talent and passion, we have a place for you. doesn't square with a refusal because "your resume focuses on system administration, operations, and other activities that don't involve engineering / coding." If you're looking for talent and passion, then hire for talent and passion.

Heh, I also solved it a few months ago and didn't get a response (though I wasn't nearly as snarky as you good sir, hat tip ). I agree that they should at least send a response to every participant. Even an automated one with a more fun problem would be nice.

Hey there! Sorry for the delay in response. Rest assure we review all applicants and reach out if there is a strong match. We appreciate you taking the time and working on the challenge, hopefully you enjoyed it :)

Translation: Don't hold your breath.

Yeah, fun, whatever, I need money.

(Disclaimer: I'm feeling a lot of stress about my job situation right now.)

iCracked -Redwood City and San Francisco (Soma)- The worlds largest on-demand mobile buy back, repair and warranty service continues to grow exponentially. WANTED: Product Designers, Product Managers, Back End Engineers, Front End Engineers,iOS Programmers and many more! Visit https://www.icracked.com/careers

Here's what I don't understand about iCracked...I get that it's a "sell the shovels" type of business, selling phone repair tools and supplies to people who want to make some side income. McDonalds was the first large-scale pioneer I can think of with that model (selling franchises and equipment). They also make it easy to understand locations, and standardize pricing. However, when I submit a request on iCracked for…

I believe that's what they do. When I cracked my screen, I had someone contact me immediately from iCracked that said they could come out to me and fix my screen. The price was about double what the Apple store ended up doing it for but I thought the service and response time was very good, but the price just seemed steep ($200 for iPhone 6 screen replacement - Apple did it for $100).

GapJumpers sucks. It won’t let me take the audition without getting a LinkedIn account and connecting it to GapJumpers.

Maybe you should try switching to TrueAbility.
