| TL; DR: Interviewstreet's hiring awesome programmers to join our fast growing startup team. Ping us if you're interested! | |
| I'm basically a programmer and don't know to write sugar-coated job descriptions (rockstars/ninjas,etc) like others. | |
| The goal might sound ambitious but we're building the Facebook for programmers - an addictive place where programmers hang out, solve interesting challenges, contribute puzzles thereby building THE place for programmers to spend time on the web. Of course, we'll connect them to awesome companies (which is natural), but when we build this great place for programmers, the extensions and possibilities are endless. | |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | |
| Working style: | |
| Our team is composed of 5 hackers and we push a lot of code to live fast. We obsess over our customers and get things done as fast as possible for them, and yes they're super happy. Some of our customers include - Amazon, Facebook (we power their careers page), Zynga, Twitter, etc. | |
| There are no hierarchies and none has any airs - the best idea wins. You'd be significantly contributing both to the product and also set the culture of the interviewstreet. | |
| There's only one thing you can optimize for - write absolutely well documented code and have delayed pushes or don't care much about the quality and push fast. Both are okay, but we're in the latter camp, reason being, the pace of our growth - it's unbelievably fast. | |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | |
| Growth | |
| Our growth has been steep and fast in terms of the number of programmers signing up and engagement. One quarter of our users spend over two hours on our site everyday! That's probably more time you might spend on Facebook, Twitter, etc. | |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | |
| Advisors: | |
| We're funded by Y-combinator with Paul Graham, Paul Buchheit (founder of GMail) on our board of advisors. We're the 1st Indian company to be selected by YC (ycombinator.com) and are growing rapidly. | |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | |
| Salary: | |
| We offer a good pay that matches your level and have a wonderful office in Koramangala, Bangalore. | |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | |
| If you've come this far, thank you. Please share your interviewstreet or github profile to team AT interviewstreet DOT com and we can take it up from there. | |
| Thanks | |
| Vivek, Co-founder, Interviewstreet |
