Buffer ( http://bufferapp.com ) - REMOTE (We're a small distributed team of 13 people across the US, UK, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Sweden and Australia) I'd love for you to come join Buffer for the fun ride. We just crossed 1 million users and are on a $2m annual revenue run rate. There are some super interesting challenges ahead to scale Buffer as we start to focus on Buffer for business. We're looking to expand our engine…

I have applied but I haven't heard any news from you guys :(

I'm truly sorry about the delay! We're working through our inbox. Typically we get back to candidates around 2-3 weeks after they apply.

San Francisco/CA, New York/NY, London/UK Remote/Re-location OK, Full-time

Whitetruffle.com is a game-changing recruiting platform that matches software engineers and UX/designers to great tech jobs. We’re looking for more engineers to join our family to help refine and enchance our proprietary matching algorithm, improve our UI, and lead the development of our mobile app. We have 2500+ companies like Pebble, Asana, Path, Evernote, Optimizely, Delve News, etc. who use Whitetruffle to source talent to build out their teams. The popularity of the platform stems from the fact that candidate contact info remains anonymous until both parties agree to the match, and you're introduced directly to the in-house hiring source (founders, CTOs, HR lead). The great benefit: it's fast without any spam.

We're continuing to scale quickly and need to keep up with our growth. If you have a passion for disruptive products and like coding, fast releases, cool designs, and like to be part of an energetic and smart team, you may be a good match. Our office is based in the SoMA area of San Francisco, California, next to the Giants Stadium and close to all transportation hubs and freeways.

Work style: “work whenever, wherever”

Workflow: Weekly meeting over IRC every Monday morning. Once a week team lunch brings everyone together to talk about the product, brainstorm new ideas, or share their crazy weekend stories. On Tuesdays we have a 1 hour product meeting over Google Hangout. We're on IRC all the time.

Push Process: Push to master whenever you want, unit tests run automatically and are hooked up to IRC; push to prod whenever you want as long as unit tests pass. QA on your own. It’s OK if you break the site from time to time, we like taking risks and prefer to push code.

Whitetruffle job openings:

1. Sr. Software Engineer (Machine Learning, MySQL, Python or Ruby, API experience a plus) 2. Seasoned UI Engineer (CSS3, JavaScript, PHP, jQuery, Python or Ruby) 3. Mobile Engineer (iOS, Obj-C, Android, Java)

Most of our engineers were hired using our own product. For all jobs, register (build your profile) at http://www.whitetruffle.com/company/whitetruffle. If you’re a good match, we’ll contact you.

For more details visit https://www.whitetruffle.com/candidates. Make sure to try our service so we can have a productive conversation.

Nirav, could you please reply to an email? At least when it is from a HN user. Thanks. EDIT: I sent an email more than a month ago. Second one two weeks ago. No reply. So what's the problem? (asking to downvoters)

Sorry, replied via email. We don't have a full time recruiter or HR person (it's a position on our careers page), so replying to each application in a personal manner is time taken out of engineering at the moment.

so to be clear, you're soliciting applications, including on HN. People are spending their time to create cover letter / resume / send an email. And you can't be arsed to reply to that email. Got it.

We're looking for engineers to introduce customers to their own DNA. We use python, Javascript, MySQL, and others to store, compute, and retrieve lots of data. Human genomes are big! Our web product makes the data meaningful to the layperson.

You can handle infrastructure and computation problems on the back-end, or work with our product team to come up with new features. You write your own tests and become the point-person for what you do.

We have a small team of 12 (veteran + recent graduates) engineers, a 3-person design team, a few PMs and a much larger operations/research team.

We bring in crossfit, yoga, and pilates instructors more than 5 times a week. We've got a massage room, a foosball table, and ping pong. And our chef, Arnon Oren, is phenomenal.

We're in Mountain View near Google, but are open to exceptional remote workers.

Suggested: B.S. in Computer Science or a related field

Required: You know "programming languages and paradigms," can work with minimal supervision and hold yourself to a high coding standard.

Just send an application to the email in our profile!

London (Clerkenwell), We're Nestoria, a real estate search engine in 8 markets. We have full-time, permanent, onsite product and dev roles, experienced and entry level, all details and background about our company on our site: http://lokku.com/#jobs Look forward to hearing from you.

Do you think you're offering enough money (£25-35k in London according to your job listing) to get a genuinely excellent graduate developer? Genuine question.

Out of interest, what do you think it should be? IBM is offering £27k for most graduate positions.
