Recruiter spam ^ (edit) This is "Who's hiring" thread and it has always been a place for companies to post their own direct-hire positions. Allow recruitment agency postings and both the quality and the value of these threads very quickly go down the drain. I realize that you mean well, but that's not the thread for your ads unless you are willing to disclose the name of the companies you are proxying.

If it helps, I'm a real hacker :) Here's some of my open-source code: https://github.com/Ovid Here's some more of my open-source code: http://search.cpan.org/~ovid/ Here's my tech blog where I give advice to other hackers: http://blogs.perl.org/users/ovid/ I'm a hacker trying to help other hackers live their dreams and I give freely back to the community. > This is "Who's hiring" thread and it has always been a place…

Yes, you have "Perl" in your profile, but it doesn't matter, sorry.

> Why restrict their opportunities?

To not set a precedent for other recruiters. This thread will snowball into an utter dump once more recruiters get a whiff it. And posts like yours set up the stage just for that.

Off topic. Having had a melanoma myself, this area obviously interest me. Have you thought about a grander vision i.e. using a high def camera taking picture of he entire body in one snap and then analyzing that data? I have more than a thousand moles, many of them abnormal, so using a camera on a per spot basis is simply not safe enough with the current technology.

We're aware our core change-detection engine has many uses, particularly in the medical space. We're focussed on making a home-tracking service for moles to start out with that works with smartphone to begin with, although we plan to branch out into other areas as the company grows. We're not like the many apps out there that will tell you whether or not you have cancer for $2.99, we're working with dermatologists, GPs and image processing experts to make a service that is robust and safe.

We have a grant from the UK's Technology Strategy Board - a Government initiative - to research video-based capture instead of our current photo-based approach. This would alleviate many of the problems you've highlighted with regards to the convenience of capturing the data. Video capture would be the main focus of the person we hire.

We're also keen to point out we're not a diagnosis service, nobody but a trained medical professional can tell you whether or not you have a melanoma. All we're doing is helping you spot change as soon as possible.

IFTTT - http://ifttt.com/jobs - San Francisco, CA

IFTTT is looking for experienced engineers to help build the next generation of its platform. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to the core architecture of one of the web’s most innovative and exciting services. You’ll get to work on challenging technical problems alongside a small but driven group of developers, and play a key role in shaping both the product and team culture.

IFTTT’s mission is to help people to create connections between the services and devices they use every day. We’ve built a system that enables users to set up simple “if this, then that”-style recipes, which allow activity from one web service to trigger activity in another. The current system supports over 60 unique services and runs nearly a hundred million recipe-handling tasks per day, and we plan to dramatically expand on our flexibility and scalability. Under the hood, this translates to building a platform that can talk to and move data between virtually any API you can think of, all in realtime and at massive scale.

We’re hoping to find candidates who speak fluently about distributed architectures, databases, and ops, who enjoy rolling up their sleeves and writing code at all levels of the stack, and who have the confidence and depth of knowledge to take ownership of long-term projects. IFTTT currently runs on a polyglot mix of technologies, including EC2, Rails, Node.js, MySQL, Redis, Memcached, and Chef. Experience with these is a big plus, but we’re constantly evolving, and we value creative problem-solving and desire to learn over domain knowledge.

We recently secured a new round of funding, and we work hard to do right by our employees. New hires at IFTTT enjoy competitive salary and equity, full benefits, sane work schedules, and a flexible vacation policy. Much more than that, we offer interesting, deep projects and an amazing team experience. We operate on the philosophy that the best job perk is fantastic teammates, and to this end we’ve assembled a staff of intensely curious, well-rounded, talented people who happen to be great engineers. We’re hoping you can be the next one.

Interviewstreet (YC S11) is hiring in MountainView & Bangalore.

Our mission is to connect great talent with great opportunities in the fastest and efficient way.

We have two products -

a. One for enterprises (interviewstreet.com) which helps companies to screen programmers effectively using coding challenges. It's used by leading technology companies like Facebook, Amazon, Walmart, Box, Evernote, Palantir, Groupon, etc.

b. Build the community of programmers in different domains of Computer Science at hackerrank.com. Every hacker has one type of challenge in a particular domain (AI or ML or functional programming, etc.) that really intrigues him/her. We are building the centralized platform for the most interesting problems across these domains from novice to real-world.

Fast forward 3-5 years, we will be a company with thousands of technology companies as our customers and a million programmers in HackerRank building one of the most effective and fun platform for talent. The result is much bigger than just jobs but an aggregation of the "brains" of all the problem solvers - hugely powerful.

We are well-funded by YC, Khosla ventures, Jawed Karim and many more. We are a team of 23, fast growing and hiring across different roles - hackers, sales, marketing, etc.

If you're interested, please e-mail team [at] interviewstreet with your strongest forte and biggest failure. We'll take it forward from there.

Looking forward to working with you - Vivek, co-founder, interviewstreet
