Palermo, Buenos Aires, Argentina Playtomic is casual gaming analytics and services. We're funded and ready to start scaling up our team. Looking for .NET, Android and iOS developers. If you want to work on a site that deals with a ridiculous volume of data generated by over 300,000 concurrent people playing the games we track (and that number's going to get a lot bigger this year!) then you're going to love this. We'…

Hi Ben, just out of curiosity, are you considering remote working? It's unusual to see a latin american company announcing jobs here in HN.

Saludos desde Corrientes!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Can I get confirmation that the Job Title will actually appear on the newly-hired's business card?

Would you put that title on your resume?

In a heartbeat.

Ember is the best place I've ever worked, and most of my coworkers agree.

The Boston Biz Journal agrees too; we were one of the top 25 places to work in Boston: http://www2.bizjournals.com/boston/events/2011/best_places_t...

Employees are not required to understand proper semicolon usage, but it's a plus.

Ember is a technically interesting and socially healthy place to work. You should check us out!

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...

Reston, VA (west of Washington, DC) - Full Time (H1B maybe)

Lucidmedia Networks - http://www.lucidmedia.com

Internet ad network startup looking primarily for Java developers (experience with SQL and front-end web experience would be great too). The Internet advertising industry is quite complex behind the scenes and somewhat parallels the structure of the financial markets. We are analogous to a high frequency trading firm, buying page views to serve ads in real-time on exchanges like that of Google or Yahoo. Our server software runs on Spring, MySQL, Redis, and AWS at a glance. We handle about a billion page impressions a day. Big data, big throughput.

Small yet experienced team, catered lunches everyday, your choice of Mac or PC (dev team is almost all Mac now), good benefits. Our office has superhero posters all over the walls.

Contact me directly at sahil_lmn@yahoo.com.

I actually got hired through a HN "Who is Hiring" thread. These things do work!
