PaperG - http://www.paperg.com/careers - San Francisco, CA or Kirkland, WA

The New York Times describes PaperG as "an ad engine to put Mad Men out of business." We're changing how digital ads are created and distributed by automating much of what people thought couldn't be done by computer. Our technology retrieves all the relevant content about an advertiser across the web to intelligently design a beautiful set of ads for desktop, tablet, and mobile devices all in under a minute.

We have great benefits and take care of things like visa sponsorship so that we can put together a team that's always striving to learn and innovate. Here are a few positions that are most important to us right now - either full time or as an internship. But feel free to contact us at careers@paperg.com. We're growing the team pretty quickly, and are constantly adding new positions:

SpaceX - Los Angeles, CA http://www.spacex.com/careers We seek to accelerate the course of human history by developing the technologies necessary for multi-planetary civilization. We build rockets and spacecraft from the ground up, utilizing much of our own electronics, software, vehicle structures, and engine systems. The Falcon launch vehicle and Dragon spacecraft are among the most ambitious engineering systems in…

Can a non-citizen apply?

Yeah, I'm interested as well. Since they are "developing the technologies necessary for multi-planetary civilization", why should the position be limited to one particular country on one particular planet...

Sorry this has happened, that's not good at all. I know that a lot of effort goes into getting in touch with us (or anyone else). There was a time when I was personally handling all the hiring, and I struggled to get back to everyone on top of everything else I was doing. We have a much better hiring process now and we've committed to responding to every email. Sorry again that you had a bad experience here.

I haven't even got a generic no

Sorry about that. Can you let me know when you emailed? I'd like to dig into this further.

Had the same experience - spent time understanding the role, researching, and reached out. Not even an acknowledgement.

Sorry about that awful experience we caused there. We definitely had a period where we simply struggled to respond to everyone. We honestly get about 100 emails from this HN listing. When we were just a few people, it was hard to keep on top of. It's a poor excuse, and we're fixing it now (we genuinely get back to everyone now). We didn't handle this well for quite some time, though.
