Netflix has many open positions in Los Gatos, CA. http://www.netflix.com/Jobs HTML5, javascript, iOS, Android, Silverlight, Security Architect, J2EE, QA and more. See the jobs page for the full list and hit the link to apply. There is a startup-driven culture at Netflix that rewards risk-taking and high performance. It's a great place to push the bleeding edge, whether you build client software (lots of A/B behaviora…

Is Netflix hiring straight out of college? The only "New College Grad" position on the page is for designers. I'd love to work at Netflix - my email is kev@inburke.com

TrueCar (Santa Monica, CA) We're looking for back-end and front-end engineers. Most open positions are for Python and Django developers looking to help us build out new features on our website, create apis and scale them. We also have RoR positions in Santa Monica and San Francisco, as well as front-end Javascript positions. Benefits include: exciting work environment with competitive salaries, full medical, dental a…

Slight expansion: (LA/Santa Monica or SF) LA: Django/JS/RoR SF: RoR/JS

Ruby jobs are working in our Advanced Product Development group - TrueCar is turning a bit into an automotive ecosystem incubator focused on changing the process of buying cars from suck to awesome.

We're profitable and have a ton of cash to invest in rounding out our disruptive play in the auto space... We've got the speed and impact of working for a startup combined with the team and resources to invest heavily in your success. No PHBs, just MVPs and Lean Startup GTD.

So far we go from the best market pricing data (ClearBook: what's this car really worth?) to up-front, guaranteed pricing on cars with thousands of dealers nationwide (TrueCar/Zag). What else is a pain about buying cars today? You name it, we're going to fix it and reward well those who help us do it.

And we will definitely relocate experienced devs... Looking out the window now to the beach a couple blocks away (in Santa Monica), it's sunny and 65 - a little cold today actually ;-), so think about that the next time you're digging your car out from under the snow... And oh yeah, I can get to at least 4 mountains in around 4 hours if I need my powder fix...

Anything in the Boulder or Austin area?

I don't know what our hiring schedule looks like, but MyEdu (Austin) will be growing its developer team at some point. I'll try to get details posted in a jobs thread when openings are definitely available. Most advertised positions have been posted on Craigslist, and I'm sure a HN listing would attract a higher quality of response on average.

[Short blurb: http://myedu.com, college planning tools, PHP/JS, newbies welcome, laidback work environment.]

Very cool stuff! Its a shame you listed java in the system admin posting.

We hire smart people who get the job done. Yeah, we use a lot of Java. And RoR. And Hadoop, Cassandra, etc. We use AWS and we run a DC stuffed with custom-configured servers. In general, the knowledge of a specific technology/language/framework we already use can be helpful, but not a requirement. Chances are, you don't know everything you need to know to do this job. So willingness and ability to learn is a requirem…

Thats fair! I wish I did know everything. Thanks for the response!

YAMMER helps turn the mayhem of the corporate world into return-on-investment unicorns and leveraged-employee-engagement butterflies. We are a medium sized start-up that is battling several big enterprise software companies in this space. So yes, our target customers are in the enterprise space BUT we are turning this space upside down with our viral approach and how we build solutions for the user (which doesn’t inc…

I was just hired here a month or so ago. This is by far the best place I've ever worked. Great people to work with (all of which are smarter than me), they treat us well with awesome catered lunches and dinners, supply us with the best hardware, and keep us happy.

Bottom line - Yammer makes sure you don't have to worry about anything so you can focus on the awesome problems that we get to solve.

(update) Also, forgot to add that we get to work with all the cool toys - I've been having a blast with node.js :)
