Ask HN: Who's hiring (take 3)?

162 points by eb ↗ HN
We've had a couple of popular hiring threads in the past so it'd be great to have some updates.

"Are you hiring? Does your company (or your friend's) have openings? Let HN know!!! Let's get some good people good jobs."

Internships and contracting are also welcome. Previously:

++ to brewing your own beer. Saw the simplegeo guys doing this, surprised more startups don't do it. Super fun.

1) Should we do this as a periodic feature (say every quarter)?

2) I repeat the links below to make them clickable. I also noted the time since the "Who's hiring" postings were made.

I also wonder if there's any way to build some lightweight features on top of these job postings (sort by location, skills, etc) without it becoming YAJS (yet another job site).

I prefer to just have people comment and possibly post links/email addresses. If feels more organic that way.
callmeed
Well, if every such post started with something like "Hire HN:", then searchyc.com or another site could keep them in the sidebar or something ... that might be handy.

Google and Facebook are on a hiring spree. At least their recruiters are very active.

TripAdvisor is looking for developers and interns in the Boston area. For developers apply online @ http://www.tripadvisor.com/careers/jobs (I work in New Initiatives and can't speak highly enough of them). For interns email me your resume.

bkrausz AT tripadvisor.com with resumes or company questions.

If you're a developer, feel free to drop me a line directly: sanj<at>tripadvisor.com

I don't think many people realize what we do here and how cool it is. Or how selective we are.

We're hiring at Social Gold for a number of positions including developers (Ruby, Flash, Test) and more. Some in SF on Embarcadero, some in Seattle in Pioneer Square.

We're mostly looking for experienced developers, and the stereotypical HN "hacker" would fit in really well.

As a former roommate, I can say Ben's the real deal. Great guy to work with! (and Andrew, too!)

Amazon seems to always be hiring. Give us a shout - this includes internships too.

By the way, I did 6 internships total during college, and Amazon was by far the most enjoyable one. If you're a student, apply.

m0th87
Where else did you intern? I'm curious because I'd like to know whether an Amazon internship would be different or better than my other experiences (Microsoft/IBM).
cosbynator
I have also had a very positive experience with Amazon after doing two internships with Amazon (one of Seattle and one out of Dublin). One of the few companies around that actually allowed me to design, think and be critical rather than just being cast away into some needless intern project. At my school, they tend to hire as many people that meet their bar rather than setting a quota which is probably why it seems that they are always hiring.

I'm comparing to two other internships - two at a theoretical physics institute in Waterloo and two with Bloomberg in NYC.

How did you score the Amazon internship? I once dropped my resume into their jobs application black hole never to hear from them again.

Naughty Dog is hiring (http://www.naughtydog.com/). Our jobs section isn't listing the positions, but we are hiring programmers, designers, and artists.

Email: jobs@naughtydog.com

In case it's not clear, Naughty Dog made Uncharted 2, which is GOTY.

It should also be said that this development house has made good use of Lisp in the past.
willwagner
Off-topic but I just want to give kudos on Uncharted 2. People talk about the Xbox360 and PS3 as the next generation of video game consoles; I think Uncharted 2 is the first real next generation video game. It's truly amazing.

Congrats and Thanks!

I second that...I am completely addicted to it.
