Question, asked on HN because others might be interested in the answer as well. Since you did not explicitly mention it in your post and I could not find this on your website either, I was wondering if you only hire locally (i.e. US) or are H1Bs welcome too?

We have sponsored H-1B visas in the past for exceptional candidates.

Don't apply formally, but just send your personal information straight to my personal gmail? I'd figure security focused folks would rather see a more formal corporate email address.

I can vouch for this guy. He works for cigital and is a good guy. I've actually never heard him say anything negative about Cigital either.

Scribd (YC '06), San Francisco/SOMA - H1B, FULL-TIME, and INTERN are all welcome

Scribd ("Netflix for eBooks", top 100 website, 40 people) is hiring talented hackers of all kinds to help us build the library of the 21st century.

We've hired SIX full-time people and TONS of interns from these "Who is Hiring" threads ... it really works!

We're looking for people who want to work with:

* Ruby on Rails (we're the #2 largest rails site, after Twitter)

* Back-end infrastructure like machine learning / data mining / recommendations - think Netflix prize, but for books!

* Javascript (well, we use Coffeescript)

* iOS or Android (we're a top 10 eBook app, with a tiny mobile team)

* Internships: junior standing or above. We hire several interns every summer and year-round.

That said, we care way more about your personality and general hacking skills then what languages you've used so far, so if you haven't used these but want to break into mobile or web development, this could be a good opportunity for you. We've hired people from these threads with everywhere from 0 to 10 years of experience.

We're profitable, very well funded and have a really fun office environment (go-karts + a rock climbing wall!). Scribd alumni have gone on to found 4 other YCombinator companies, more than from any other startup. We think this says something about the kind of people that we like to hire, and we love hiring people with entrepreneur and startup ambitions. We are also always looking for international people interested in moving to the US and can help you secure a visa.

We recently launched a service that's being called the "Netflix for books" and are really excited about it. Read more here: http://wrd.cm/1dJquzz

More info is at http://www.scribd.com/jobs, but as a HN user, feel free to apply directly by emailing me at jared at scribd.com.

Pathgather - New York, NY - Full time or intern in New York

We're a small but extremely efficient team of 2 looking to make our first hire. We're an enterprise SaaS company disrupting the fairly outdated enterprise education and training industry, an industry that has over 60% of its customers dissatisfied with current products!

We've seen significant progress within our first year of business. We signed a Fortune 200 company to a six figure contract within our first months and successfully launched to that company at the beginning of 2014.

Our product is built on top of a modern stack using best practices: an Angular client that communicates with a Rails 4 API, powered by Postgres, Redis, and Elasticsearch. We also have a strong focus on product and design (take a look at our product, and we think you'll agree). Traditionally, enterprise software has lacked in these areas, but we aim to disrupt that tradition.

If you're at all interested or curious in exploring an opportunity with us, please don't hesitate to reach out to me at jamie[at]pathgather.com. We guarantee an amazing opportunity awaits: we'll offer significant salary and equity, the chance to work on real problems experienced by a wide audience, opportunities and rewards for open source work and contributions, and influence in our product, culture, and vision from day one!
