Ask HN: Who is Hiring? (October 2011)

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.)

We listen to our developers, respect them, and give them room to get things done. The work schedule is flexible, and features are thoughtfully planned so we don't rush things out the door.

Please feel free to apply again in a few months - we try to err on the side of caution when hiring, and any interviewing process likely has a large margin of error.

We make a SaaS platform that helps companies do a better job of customer service and marketing on Facebook and Twitter (and other social networks soon)

We're looking for someone to automate breaking what we make and tell us we're rubbish :)
