Count me as someone who doesn't want to see recruiters posting in "Who's hiring" regardless of how good they are.

What's wrong with recruiters? I'm assuming you wouldn't have a problem if someone mentioned that their employer was hiring (ie. non-primary posting in general)

I've actually used "Who's hiring" in the past. Two things made it very useful to me:

1.) It tells me something about the company. At the very least, it tells me that at least one founder/employee/etc. is reading HN.

2.) I can leisurely check out what the company does without making any sort of commitment (even just a phone call/screen).

Both of those advantages go out the window when recruiters are involved.

And BTW, I have nothing against recruiters. I just wish there was one jobs related page on the internet that didn't have them.

Redwood Shores, CA (SF Bay Area) - Engineers and more

BioWare SF is hiring! Formerly known as EA2D, we are now the online/social arm of the BioWare group.

We're working on exciting projects:

* Social games for gamers (from BioWare and others)

* Games API (web services for online games)

We're small (30 people) and scrappy. And we're growing fast: 0-200 servers in the past 8 months. Tech stack is primarily AS3/Java backed by MongoDB, but we're writing more in Python, JavaScript, and Ruby. We have a highly automated infrastructure running on AWS (EC2 w/ELBs and ASGs, EMR, SQS, Beanstalk, etc., plus more than a few super-secret/unreleased Amazon features). Buzzword potpourri includes Chef, node.js, Google App Engine, Hive, Graphite, Tomcat, Spring, Ivy, Hudson, GitHub, Pingdom, Loggly, PagerDuty, and continuous deployment. http://github.com/ea2d and http://eng.ea2d.com/).

We need platform, systems, and mobile engineers. Detailed listings are here: https://jobs.ea.com/search/advanced.do?q=bioware&globalR...

I lead the platform engineering team. Drop me a line if you're interested: mikeb@ea2d.com

Amazon Route 53 is a highly available and scalable Domain Name System (DNS) web service. Since December 2010, when Route 53 launched, we have been working hard to add new features (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2582674), make the service easy to use, and scale our systems. In that time, we've had a big impact on the DNS space, attracting some major customers and filling a gap in the market. Our team is small, nimble, and crazy smart. Working on Route 53 you'll learn tons about networking, DNS, operating a tier-0 service, and growing a business.

We've got lots of exciting plans for this year and next and we're looking for developers and managers to help us turn them into reality. See http://aws.amazon.com/route53-jobs/ for details.

San Francisco, CA - Yammer

Yammer is an awesome tech startup masquerading as an enterprise software vendor. We're building an enterprise social network (an internal communication and collaboration tool. Like Facebook.) and we need your help.

We build our product with insight and wisdom gained from the consumer social networking space, but we charge enterprise prices (and our customers pay them!) We're fighting some big serious competitors (Salesforce/Chatter, Jive, and VMWare/Socialcast) and this space has never been more exciting.

Yammer is really changing the way people get work done. We have actual challenges to overcome and we're doing our best to make a kick-ass product that makes our users happy.

Tech we use: Ruby/Rails, Scala, and JavaScript. We have Obj-C and C# stuff too.

Some bullet points for you to skim: • Amazing group of smart engineers to work with. Really. • We hack in Ruby/Rails, Scala/JVM, Javascript/JQuery/Node.js/Adobe AIR, Obj-C for iOS, and some MSFT/Sharepoint stuff. • Competitive compensation. Enough said. • Delicious catered lunch and dinner daily, with a 3PM snack cart. Also a fully-stocked beer-and-beverage fridge. • Fancy Apple hardware of your choice (you can have a PC if you really want one.)

Some links for you to read more: • Our jobs page: https://www.yammer.com/jobs • Our Engineering blog: http://eng.yammer.com/ • A blog post about why it's so awesome to work here: http://eng.yammer.com/blog/2011/5/31/shameless-recruiting.ht...

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…

Count me as someone who doesn't want to see recruiters posting in "Who's hiring" regardless of how good they are.

You know what, even though I've had a lot of positive responses, this will be my first & last 'Who's Hiring' post.

It's generated more noise than I had anticipated and it's taking from the purpose of the thread and that's the last thing I wanted.

It's too late to edit or delete my comment but I assure you it will be my last.
