Ask HN: Who Is Hiring? (November 2010 Edition)

I think your probably right, most companies perceive remote working as a bigger hassle than the regular work environment, which is a great shame.

I've been remote working full time for 6 years and I feel that its made me more productive and motivated than working in an office ever could.

Now that now that I've started to look to progress my career further this kind of perception makes it very difficult for me to make the next step.

TripAdvisor in Newton, MA. No remote, sorry.

We are looking for interns and full-time in a variety of areas:

Product

If you see it on the TripAdvisor site it was built by Product.  Everything our visitors see, interact with and love is built by this team.  Learn how to keep 40e6 monthly visitors happy while stretching into areas of automated content summarization, deep social integration, building hugely-multi-platform handheld apps, serving 10M photos or to manage a billion pins worth of travel data generated by our users.  Every project coming out of Product is carefully tuned to make our users happy and make TripAdvisor the best place to do travel research.  We've got more ideas than engineers to build them.

Content Integrity/Fraud

TripAdvisor currently has over 35 million reviews written by our members, and the volume of reviews being submitted is continually increasing.  The CI team works to to integrate automated systems based on artificial intelligence, machine learning, and statistical natural language processing into our software to provide new capabilities for automated document classification, categorization, summarization, and recommendation.  We focus on the real-world application of new technology to provide significant improvements in the efficiency and profitability of our business, and in the features available to our users.

SEO

TripAdvisor has the world's best SEO.  Type in the name of pretty much any hotel in the world and we're on the front page of Google.  The SEO team understands how to build pages so that robots and crawlers can read them cleanly.  In doing so, we're able to use our unique content to get top rankings and appear in front of huge numbers of users.  As part of the SEO team, you'll help to run experiments to learn how better to present our content to robots and extend our mastery into new domains.

Commerce

Having attracted traffic to TripAdvisor, we need to turn those visitors into tracked outbound links to each of our partners.  Serious money flows through the fingers of the Commerce team as they identify how to direct traffic to the best targets to make our two sets of customers (visitors & partners) happy.

APAC

The APAC team grew the site from 0 to 4MM users in a year to replicate TripAdvisor's success in the most populous country with the fastest growing economy and Internet penetration rate.  What makes it challenging is working with a distributed engineering team and system that is located more than 6000 miles away.  Toe help develop and operate daodao.com, it'd help if you were fluent in Chinese.
