Ask HN: Who is hiring? (July 2015)

GitHub is hiring across all teams, both in SF and remote: https://github.com/about/jobs.

We especially need sales engineers, which is a great role for any developer or ops person looking to make a transition to sales. Especially important skills:

  * Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  * Customer facing experience as this is a pre-sales role
  * Familiarity with Git and GitHub
  * Ability to talk with both technical and non-technical employees 
    both internal to GitHub and at customer sites

You can see the sales engineering job post here: https://jobs.github.com/positions/2f1183c2-482d-11e4-9945-68...

One last thing that I'd like to point out for all of our roles (it's at the bottom of the job post too, but I think it's important): GitHub is made up of people with many different backgrounds and lifestyles, and we like it that way. We invite applications from people of all stripes. We don't discriminate against employees or applicants based on gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, race, religion, age, national origin, citizenship, pregnancy status, veteran status, or any other differences that people imagine to discriminate against one another.

Please apply if you think this might be a good fit for you. You can't waste our time!

I'm a dev that uses git, and I have outstanding written and verbal skills, but I've never led a team, and certainly not for 3-7 years. I've never had a group of people working under me in dev roles. Is that a deal-breaker?

I think you want me for hiring coordinator. I especially appreciate these requirements: 1. Be a friendly, calming guide to candidates on their interview day. 2. Working with our recruiters and hiring managers for each role to optimize the success of their candidates. 3. Crafting an engaging interview day for each candidate.

We don't have an internship program in place at the moment.

Would you consider hiring someone for a remote, full time or part time position that has relevant work experience but not a degree (yet)?

To be more clear, I've got a year left to complete my degree in CS but I feel that I'm more than capable of contributing to an organization without an internship program.

> We don't discriminate against employees or applicants based on ... pregnancy status

As a guy. I'm happy about this. I'm tired of employers discriminating against me on this. I'm not pregnant. I'm fat.
