Coinbase (YC S13) | San Francisco, CA | ONSITE | FULL-TIME | Sr. Software Engineers https://www.coinbase.com/careers/9275 We're looking for Senior Software Engineers to join us in building the future of payments infrastructure and digital currencies. We recently hired a VP of Engineering and have a team of 38 engineers (that constitutes half of the people in the office) who work on GDAX (exchange platform), brokerage…

I've sent 4 or 5 resume's/cover letters to coinbase over the past few months and they completely ignored all of them. Its not like I'm some kind of noob either. I've built a half dozen open source applications that use the blockchain. If anyone reading this wants a job at a blockchain company, I suggest you not bother wasting your time with coinbase.

Your experience with Coinbase seems to be common with many companies posting hiring ads each and every month.

I've emailed and applied to various positions for the past 9 months, through these Hacker News hiring posts, but never once hear anything back at all. And then keep seeing the same positions showing up again and again.

Practically all these monthly hiring posts have been regurgitated over and over for months and months. It is very frustrating for many serious job seekers visiting these threads every month, and seeing the same positions time and time again.

Wish Hacker News has a way to flag them.

Shitty company. I've spent 4 hours on-site (+ ~3 over the phone) and never heard back from recruiter. Nothing! Also, was very disappointed about technical level of interviewers. And look at their 5-year stock (google "rocket fuel stock") - this is the reason why you DO NOT wanna go there.

Be careful, there is no enough space in their office. It was the smallest square feet area per worker I ever seen. I wonder if they don't violate any related regulations.

In Israel there is an HR as a service company for early stage startups, that succeeds in bring really good talent. They choose startups wisely, their employees actually work in that startup shoulder to shoulder with the developers (especially to avoid backward linkedin interaction) and they recommend good candidates that had issues in/with one company to try and fit in another.

I've been thinking of starting something similar here in the states (recruiting as a service), but there's always one problem: small companies don't trust anything labeled 'recruiting' or 'hr' to gauge technical talent. If I can come up with a reliable, repeatable system for identifying good developers, I still have to convince other companies to pay for it. The skepticism I get from companies is off the charts. Do y…

I don't know how they bootstrapped, but startups in Israel have repeatably same problems. Good technology, not so good business leadership, and zero hr skills. It's a known issue, that founders seek help with the minute they start interviewing people and getting frustrated from the pipeline, or the candidate reactions. This company (called 'added value') is unique since it provides a precise solution to that stage in a startups life and they phase out when you get to a certain size, helping the startup hire full time hr. They deliver results, and word travels fast.

It would help if you would be explicit, e.g. "REMOTE (U.S. only)".

I nearly missed that when looking to apply.

Potentially; we don't have many remote employees yet (but we'd love to in the future) so we're still finding our way with it.
