SurfAds is hiring! We're an online advertisement start-up located in Vancouver, Canada that is looking for developers to help us build up our infrastructure to support our advertising platform.

Responsibilities will include improving the performance of our adserver by removing some key bottlenecks, as well as developing monitoring, testing and administration tools to improve the performance and reliability of our systems. Our current architecture already handles thousands of transactions per second, produces 50GB of MySQL data per day, and is based around a stack of open source technologies beyond the basic LAMP environment.

Monetate - Conshohocken, PA - (Philadelphia)

Full time, No remote.

We're a SAAS provider of testing, targeting and personalization tools (e.g. content targeting, segmentation, A/B testing). We are located in Conshohocken, a Philly suburb and our clients list consists of many big e-retailers. I got hired via HN a year ago and we do have a good number of engineers in the team who found Monetate through one of these threads.

We are actively looking for Front End and Backend engineers.

Front end engineers primarily write JS that runs on our customers' sites or for building features for our client facing product. Backend engineers work on large data and web performance. We work in Python, but experience with the language is not a prerequisite. We have many interesting front end, scaling and big-data problems to solve. Monetate is a fun work place with an awesome culture and a big list of benefits. If you want to work with interesting people who are passionate about what they are doing, do check out our jobs page

Month after month, the same companies list the same opening here (with probably 30% shift.) I would love to know if the companies that relist aren't getting applicants, aren't getting the right applicants, have a high turnover or are (hopefully) just continuing to grow. Also, are any HNers getting hired from these threads? Success stories are the most needed ingredient to remind everyone that hiring is happening.

I'm a long time reader but don't post much. I was hired in NYC through a post on the Oct 2011 thread. Obviously I'd rate myself as amazing. The job isn't bad either hehe.

Suitable Technologies - http://suitabletech.com

Suitable Technologies is a startup working to create an innovative new product for something called "remote presence."

We have funding, competitive compensation, and a fun work environment, complete with our own chef and break-time games like table tennis. We provide top-of-the-line development hardware, adjustable desks, and will try to get your workspace just right.

Our first product, in development now, is similar to video chat on a computer you can drive around. Unlike videoconferencing, you’re not stuck to a wall or desk. It becomes your physical presence, anywhere in the world, with the freedom to move and interact with people as if you were there. Our technology has already been seen by millions of people, and we think the potential impact is substantial.

We're looking for great engineers, designers, testers, and more. We need help in C++, audio and video software and codecs, web frontend and backend, UI/UX design, electrical, and networking. We think this could be a unique opportunity for someone with experience in web or mobile to work on something a little different.

More information is available on our site: http://suitabletech.com

San Francisco (REMOTE, H1B, INTERN welcome):

Circle (http://circleci.com - full-service, hosted, continuous integration): Designers and Engineers

We're hiring our first employee(s)! You should love making code better, and optimizing developers' workflow: our mission is to make millions of developers lives better.

Circle does hosted, full-service, continuous integration. Users give us their code and we do as much magic as possible to make their code better: less buggy, faster, less risky.

Engineers: there's a broad range of really exciting work to be done for great engineers: static analysis, file systems, databases, and working with a broad range of languages, platforms and environments. You must be smart and get shit done!

Designers: If you love UX, data visualization, streamlined workflows, this is the job for you. We have tons of data available, and need to present it such that developers can get out of the app and back to their jobs sooner. We're hugely developer focused, so to ability implement your vision is essential, at least on the front-end.

Success story: I met someone recently who found her new job at OKCupid Labs from last last month's HN Who's Hiring thread. (She'd also met her husband on OKCupid, so that helped.) As a comparison, between Dribbble's (a design-specific community) job board and HN, all of the best designer candidates so far have come from HN.

That was me, heh. I responded earlier to this thread as well!
