Seattle, WA - SEOmoz is hiring primarily local positions, but may have some flexibility on remote, particularly for engineers. Here are our 8 open positions currently - http://www.seomoz.org/blog/8-open-positions-at-seomoz and please note that for software engineers, we pay a $12,000 referral bonus to anyone who refers an engineer we hire as well as $12,000 as a signing bonus to the engineer. Details here - http://ww…

$12k referral bonus seems a bit rich. Is that the norm for Seattle? I'm seeing around $5-10k referral bonus at other Bay Area startups. Talent is also insanely constrained around here.

It's not the norm, but it has helped us a bit, and to be honest, it's still less expensive than most recruiters. When you're hiring positions between $90-$150K, recruiters want 20-30% of that first year's salary, so spending $24K to build a more organic pipeline makes a lot of sense.

salesforce.com, inc. [CRM] San Francisco, CA

My team is hiring a front-end UI developer/designer to work in Product Marketing. We build cool demos that leverage the latest technologies out there such as backbone.js, CoffeeScript, etc. We also build a ton of our apps on Heroku, our new Ruby cloud. :)

You'll be working out of our HQ which is pretty much located in the best part of the financial district across the street from the Ferry Building and close to transportation.

We pay very, very well and we have great benefits. Medical, dental, vision + fitness reimbursement. You can choose between Club One membership or $100/mo towards any gym you want.

We want someone who is passionate about technology but also has a bit of an "edge" for business. If this sounds like you, send me your resume: kwu@salesforce.com

P.S. I've been interviewed by YC four times but never got through. Got accepted once, but was not able to join due to family circumstances. I'm an entrepreneur at heart offering someone out there a chance to move to SF and learn something about enterprise software.

Everlane FULL TIME San Francisco, CA

Hey HN!

I'm Jesse, one of the co-founders of Everlane, and we're hiring engineers.

Check out our website at http://www.everlane.com, and my personal blog at http://20bits.com

We're trying to re-imagine retail online and make it easy to find products that match your taste and style. Right now we're focused on mens fashion, but our ambitions are much larger.

pg did a good job of explaining the opportunity, here: http://ycombinator.com/rfs2.html

Here's a sample of some of the user feedback we get daily:

* I can't wait until you open a store.

* When are you going to start selling things? I want to spend all my money with you.

* It's like you entered my brain and turned it into a store.

* I want to buy all my husband's clothes from you -- please start selling!

We're well-funded by really awesome investors and need engineers who are interested in building the next big online retail destination.

Our current stack is Ruby, Rails, MySQL, and Heroku, but smart and hungry beats knowledge of specific languages.

If you're interested send me an email at jesse@everlane.com and mention this post. The most important thing is for you to be excited by the opportunity, so make it clear.

Bonus points for including a solution to this exercise in the language of your choice: http://static.everlane.com/everlane_exercise.pdf
