Scribd (YC '06), San Francisco - H1B, FULL-TIME, and INTERN are all welcome
Scribd (social publishing &amp; eBooks, top 100 website, 35 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 summer interns from these "Who is Hiring" threads, including two this summer ... 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)
* Javascript (well, we use Coffeescript)
* iOS / Android
* Machine Learning / data mining / recommendations
* Back-end infrastructure: scalability, web crawling, big data, analytics
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.
We are always looking for international people interested in moving to the US and can help you secure a visa.
Scribd's vision is to build the digital library of the 21st century. Just as Wikipedia built the successor to the encyclopedia, we want to build the successor to the library. It is a big vision and we have a long way to go, but I'd be happy to tell you more about what we're working on now and how we plan to get there.
