Original posting

Scribd (YC '06), San Francisco - H1B, FULL-TIME, and INTERN are welcome Scribd (social publishing & eBooks, top 100 website, 15 person team) is hiring talented hackers and other technical people for a broad range of technologies. We've now hired FIVE full-time people and numerous interns from these "Who is Hiring" threads, including two just last month (both international). These threads have literally become our primary hiring strategy ... they really work!! We're looking for people who want to work with: * Ruby on Rails (we're the #2 largest rails site, after Twitter) * Javascript (we recently switched to Coffeescript and are loving it) * iOS / Android * Machine Learning / data mining / recommendations * Back-end problems: scalability, web crawling, big data, analytics * DevOps and web infrastructure 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 (we just built ourselves a rock-climbing wall!). We've got flexible hours, a very engineer-driven company culture, and a small but really terrific team. We're working on a big new product launch now that we're really excited about. If you're interested in eBooks, I'd love to tell you about it. 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. Generally we're looking for full-time and INTERN hires (junior year or older) who want to move to SF. H1B and relocation are no problem. We're experts at getting people visas for the US. See more at scribd.com/jobs and feel free to email me directly: jared at scribd.com
