#192Salesforce (San Francisco, CA) is hiring across all organizations: http://www.salesforce.com/company/careers/ But we have an immediate need for a badass developer on our Product Marketing Demos team. We regularly use the latest technologies and platforms to build product prototypes, demonstrations, and visualizations that effectively communicate our product line. To give you an idea, in the past three months alone, o…
do you take people from europe? Sponsor visas? (this isn't necessarily for me, but I do know people who might take you up on your offer if you do)
I believe we do sponsor visas, but I'm checking to be sure...
In any case, we have offices around the world. So even if this specific position can't work, feel free to have them email me about other opportunities.

You don't happen to need a part-time (2-3 days a week) designer/front-end developer as well do you?
If your front-end dev work includes JS experience and you're interested in/passionate about math, our part-time contributors are currently focused on building out our JS-powered library of math practice exercises, and we would love help.
The not-for-profit I do work for has a lot of similar-sounding exercises. They're all written in Java (right now), but I'm working with our devs to get lots of them converted to JS/HTML5.

Drop me a line; I'd be interested in what you all are working on.

#196I'm curious as to how helpful these threads have been to both seekers and employers. Has anyone found a job through one of these threads? Do employers get meaningful applications?
These threads are one of our top 2 most effective hiring vectors; we've hired many people off HN, and the candidates we get from HN are the best candidates we get from any source. The caliber of people we've been able to hire from HN is one of the primary reasons I spend time here.
I posted a link that I am hiring a few weeks ago, and not only did I get a lot of hits, but I also got a lot of great resumes; some of the best resumes I have ever seen.

I think we're at the more formal end of "business casual", but I normally wear a collared shirt and slacks, with no tie or jacket.
Too bad! Thanks for the reply though.
don't dismiss it out of hand - I worked for about 20 months at a big financial corp and got a good laugh most days checking myself out in the corporate uniform . . .
it's not so bad, but it is funny if you come from a place where flip-flops and the shirt you painted the house in last weekend is normal M-F attire. It definitely took me awhile to get used to sitting in my cube in nice shoes.

#199SpaceX, Los Angeles. Working remotely is not an option for new-hires. In December we became the first private organization to put a spacecraft into orbit and return it safely (highlights: http://spacex.com/multimedia/videos.php?id=57 ). The other entities who've done this are all governments or governmental collaborations. SpaceX is continuing our expansion. Want to write code that lives on the International Space St…
I saw your info session at MIT today. I am a senior in EECS at MIT doing a 5 year S.B./M.Eng. program. I like machine learning/vision and robotics and would love to get my hands dirty writing software that controls real physical systems. I've published research at the intersection of cognitive science and decision theory and just won first place at MIT's autonomous robotics competition. I've done various other projects that you can read about at http://snikolov.weebly.com. Shoot me an email at snikolov@mit.edu if you think there is a match (especially in the avionics software group).
