What part of this post + you saying, on your very own website, "I have not, nor ever will attempt to solicit business on Hacker News," is honest?

As a result of my last few posts there were quite a few people recommending that I use the who's hiring post as an opportunity to make fellow HN'ers aware of roles that might interest them. This is my first post that is anything remotely related to me sourcing candidates and I am keeping a close eye on it to see if it's well received or universally hated. So far it has a few upvotes and I've received four emails from…

You do seem like a good one, as far as they go, and I don't have anything, in general, against recruiters posting here. I don't think it's the best forum for your type, but there's no rule against it.

What I took issue with was that you are internally inconsistent, yet claim to be "honest." Ha! Whatever it was that made you once say you WILL NEVER attempt to solicit business on Hacker News---well, obviously, you don't believe in that anymore.

Boston, MA - Ginkgo BioWorks is a synthetic biology startup out of MIT that is offering programming internships to develop CAD tools and software to support our platform for genetic engineering of organisms for use in fuels, medicine, and foods. If you want to work on something other than photo-sharing, this might be for you: http://ginkgobioworks.com/careers.html https://ginkgo.resumetracker.com/public/job_detail/84…

OT (and I'm sorry), but I couldn't resist when I saw this requirement: > Candidates should hold a PhD or equivalent and have successfully engineered an organism -- plants, fish, microbes, worms, fungi, it doesn't matter, as long as it worked. Are there that many people who've actually done this? It makes me wish I could apply for this job :)

That probably means "genetically modified" and not "created."

This might be an odd location... But is there anyone hiring an Information Security Manager (or junior position)?

A lot of the businesses on here only focus on developing and pushing. I have yet to find one that provides that. If there is a business with H1B, please let me know! I am currently looking for one.

Down vote if you don't think this is the right location. Could always open a new one.

Fair enough. Postive reactions: 9 Negative: 2

I think you will garner significantly different reaction if you give some sense of who you are as a recruiter in your posts, and why you aren't a scumbag (i've read some of your threads/comments). Disclosure that you're a recruiter is fine if you can articulate how you are going recruiting differently. Link to your blog, talk about your dev experience, etc.

Have a look at my submissions. The last three have adressed exactly that and have had a huge amount of attention here and 99% of the feedback has been incredibly positive.

As for my dev experience, I was highly average and never built anything worth talking about here although a friend & I are working on something pretty cool at the moment that I mentioned briefly in the past. I will be doing a post soon talking about that particular product.

I work on the product team (which is hiring the senior dev), and it's really interesting work, with a mix of device and web development.
