Scribd (YC '06), San Francisco - H1B, FULL-TIME, and INTERN

Scribd (online library of books and documents, top 100 website) is hiring talented hackers and other technical people for a broad range of technologies.

We've hired FIVE full-time people and numerous interns from these "Who is Hiring" threads, including TWO this year already ... 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 (we recently switched to Coffeescript and are loving it)

* iOS

* Machine Learning / data mining / recommendations

* Scalability, search engines, 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 (go-karts + a zipline!).

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've still got openings for internships this summer.
