Scribd is hiring for a few different positions. As you have probably seen around HN, we are doing some pretty exciting things, and there are more in the works.

We work in ruby, but there is plenty of java, python, and other variety mixed in when it makes sense.

The engineering team is comprised of lots of HN readers who genuinely enjoy what they do and are driven to solve challenging problems. If you are interested, you can check out our jobs page or email me directly with any questions.
