YAMMER helps turn the mayhem of the corporate world into return-on-investment unicorns and leveraged-employee-engagement butterflies. We are a medium sized start-up that is battling several big enterprise software companies in this space. So yes, our target customers are in the enterprise space BUT we are turning this space upside down with our viral approach and how we build solutions for the user (which doesn’t include an army of salesmen). We are solving consumer type problems but also monetize like enterprise software. (i.e. real revenues with fewer users)

What's in it for you?:

-GOOD catered Lunch and Dinner daily

-Fancy Apple Hardware of your choice (you can have a PC if you REALLY want one)

-Amazing group of smart engineers (sounds cliche, but we really do have smart people here :D )

-Ability to have influence without authority.

-Working with technologies like Scala, Rails, and advanced JavaScript

-Wine and Whiskey Connoisseurs onsite at your disposal

-Our CEO is David Sacks, and yes, he is responsible for making the movie, "Thank You for Smoking".

-Top of the market Start-up Compensation (we pay to play)

If you have a data fetish then you should stop reading anything else on this page and email me personally at jferguson at yammer-inc dot com with your resume and tell me why you love it.

Big data, we've got that. Social networking, we've got that too. If you're tired of only dreaming about using data to iterate on a real product at a startup that is crushing everyone else in their space then you should get excited right now because Yammer is that place. Distributed databases, real time data streams, ruby, rails, scala; this is the position you've dreamed about your entire life! How many people get the opportunity to come work on a data team at a startup? Stop sitting around thinking about doing awesome things and come do them.

Also the food is delicious.. no really.. it's that good..

I was just hired here a month or so ago. This is by far the best place I've ever worked. Great people to work with (all of which are smarter than me), they treat us well with awesome catered lunches and dinners, supply us with the best hardware, and keep us happy.

Bottom line - Yammer makes sure you don't have to worry about anything so you can focus on the awesome problems that we get to solve.

(update) Also, forgot to add that we get to work with all the cool toys - I've been having a blast with node.js :)

We also offer REAL external referral $$fees$$, if you're curious ping joe at yammer-inc dot com.

We don't believe in cutting corners on hiring the best.

I work at Yammer. It's awesome.
