Scribd is a reading subscription that gives you access to the best books, audiobooks, magazines, and more. Our mission is to change how the world reads. At the beginning of the year we hit 1M paying subscribers (https://techcrunch.com/2019/01/28/scribd-1-million-subscribe...)! We are one of the oldest YC startups (YC ’06), operating one of the largest Ruby on Rails sites.
We are hiring software engineers across the board, including recommendations, search, payments, Android & frontend-web. In particular we're looking for:
• Manager of Infrastructure Engineering
• Search Engineers
• Backend generalists for Content Engineering
In Amsterdam we are hiring backend software engineers with solid experience in building, running and scaling out cloud-native microservices (preferably in Ruby and/or Go). We value a hacker mindset, clean coding and a natural aversion to complexity (or if you're a glass-half-empty person: an affinity for simplicity).
Scribd has a very friendly, engineering-driven company culture with competitive salary and great benefits. We are ambitious but at the same time we value a good work life balance. In general we care way more about your personality and hacking skills than what languages you’ve used so far.
We have hired many people from these threads, including myself. If you have questions you can reach out to me directly at joe at scribd.com (I'm the Director of Application Engineering and happy to answer questions related to these roles - recruiters/agencies: please do not contact me).
