Academia.edu is hiring intern engineers in San Francisco.
Academia.edu helps academics follow the latest research in their field. Here are a few bullet points that sum up the atmosphere in our team:
- obsession with exceptional engineering
- obsession with building a great web product, and a great user experience
- intellectually inquisitive - we like delving into ideas, whatever the ideas are about
- fun and friendly - we enjoy each other's company a lot, and have a great deal of respect for each other.
We are hiring intern engineers. Here are some of the technologies we work with: Rails, Nginx, Node.js, Redis, Memcached. We are based in downtown San Francisco.
Domain was bought in 1999. They did not restrict .edu to accredited universitities-and-colleges-and-things until 2001, and academia.edu was grandfathered in.
I too was bummed to get lesser money in my paycheck as an entry level engineer than as an intern in the same company. But then I realized that I get stocks, health insurance, travel and education fund, bonuses and get reimbursed for a lot of crap.
We're trying to change the way personal history is recorded. Right now, we're focused on letting families and friends remember the lives of those who've passed away.
If you're interested in working for a small (but very well funded) YC company in SF, get in touch with me at michael@1000memories.com.
cough I'm seeking an internship for the summer. 2 semesters away from a BS in CS. Just got my first 'fun' test app onto the iOS market, cloudedbox.com/supersoaker.html. I'm still working on the proof that I'm worthy, but I cannot tell you how much I'd like to experience the techniques and tribulations of software engineering with a company anywhere in North California.

I'm the test lead at Animoto. I can't speak for the dev team here, but I, personally, would love to hire a test dev intern here in NYC.
Want to create a model-based test for our platform layer (in Ruby)? Want to create an AI to combat our back end Java "director" AI (yeah, in Java, of course or tell us how you'd rather do it)? Want to test render code (as in "game dev" sort of render code - perf-sensitive code that grids out video and sync'd audio to the limits the hardware will allow)? Do you hate "the cloud" (Amazon's in our case) and want to show everyone how fragile that is? Well . . . I would welcome an intern who wants to understand any of those things deeply and break dev code. So pick one and tell me how you want to break it.
The company supports open-sourcing your test code. Share it. Put it on your resume. Put us on your resume!
I only want someone who wants to blow up and/or set fire to and/or just do horrible, horrible things to the dev code.
My name is Drew. I break things for a living.
You? Write code and want to SMASH things? Obliterate them? Pulverize? Have other destructive fantasies but don't want to talk about it? Ask for me at devjobs@animoto.com with the subject "SDET Intern".
We develop solutions for searching and analyzing vast quantities of semi-structured data. Many of the biggest tech companies (Cisco, Qualcomm, Juniper, Motorola) rely on Pattern Insight for their internal search.

Hey, what does your frontpage have anything to do with what you do? Maybe you're using linkbait articles to attract users to your actual feature which is unrelated and buried deep?
Thanks for the question, it's a very good one. We are still working on developing an information architecture that makes more sense. As it stands, we've focused the home page on our editorial content rather than UGC (which tend to focus on Bieber for the most part and has massively quality variance). As noted, some of our better content & features often get buried.

If any Computer Science students in the NYC, Boston, or Philadelphia area are interesting in working on a crowdsouring startup, shoot me an email at wguaraca@haverford.edu or my partner at samuel.peprah@brown.edu.
If you don't mind me asking, what exactly are you looking for in candidates? I applied with what I felt like was a fairly strong resume (two years working for a RoR shop, a summer doing research on create a javascript security sandbox via WebWorkers), and didn't even get an interview.
This is starting to sound a bit like a complaint, but I'm not trying to complain here, I'm just curious. What _are_ you looking for?
Sorry, I can't say why you specifically didn't get an interview. There are a lot of factors to consider and a lot of candidates. No recruiting process is perfect. If you're really passionate about working at Twitter, please re-apply and include a cover letter. cc me if you feel like it (dloft) and I'll make sure you at least get a response.
Twitter is really a great place to work, filled with smart, productive, passionate and unabashedly quirky people. If you're one of those, I sincerely hope that we hire you.
Thanks dloft, I appreciate the response. I know you can't really answer why _I_ got rejected, I was just curious if there was something in particular they were looking for. Applying to companies and getting rejected tends to give very little feedback, and I'd like to know what I should be focusing on improving. I guess that's kind of par for the course though.
