Ask HN: Who is hiring? (December 2015)

Scribd (YC '06, "Netflix for eBooks", top 100 website, 50 people) is hiring talented devs in a variety of flavors to help us build the library of the 21st century.

We've hired ten full-time people and dozens of interns from these "Who is Hiring" threads ... we do go through all of the applications we receive in response. There was some feedback about people not hearing back at all. We take candidate experience very seriously and recently hired someone to own our recruiting process and now everyone who applies through our job board (http://grnh.se/gr84t3) will get a response.

Right now we’re looking for:

* mid to senior level Android devs (we're a top 10 eBook app with more reviews than Wikipedia, with a small mobile team so there’s a lot of opportunity for impact and responsibility)

* Data scientists or engineers with experience in Machine Learning / data mining / recommendations - think Netflix prize, but for books!

a seasoned QA manager with experience leading teams through lifecycle testing on multiple platforms

Ruby engineers

*Backend engineers with experience in search, recommendation, or payments

Please note for Internships: We look for junior standing or above for all areas of engineering. We hire several interns every summer and fall. We aren’t currently accepting applications for summer 2016 but please check our job board in January for the job posting when we start the hiring process.

We care way more about your personality, potential, and general hacking skills than what specific languages you've used so far, so if you haven't used these but want to break into mobile or web development, this could be a good opportunity for you. We've hired people from these threads with everywhere from 0 to 10 years of experience. That being said, there isn’t always an opening that’s a good fit but we do our best to find a match for talented people and there are several people who interviewed 2 or 3 times before the time was right.

To expedite your application, please apply directly to our job board where you’ll find all of our current opening and the job descriptions. We do our best to respond within 24 hours, and you’ll get an answer either way. http://grnh.se/gr84t3

We're profitable, very well funded and have a really fun office environment that still lets our team get their work done. Scribd alumni have gone on to found 4 other YCombinator companies, more than from any other startup. We think this says something about the kind of people that we like to hire, and we love hiring people with entrepreneur and startup ambitions. We are also always looking for international people interested in moving to the US and can help you secure a visa.
