PayScale | Senior and Mid-level Software Engineers | Seattle, WA and Cary, NC; United States

PayScale believes that transparent, fact-based relationships yield better results for employees and employers.

All jobs are here: https://www.payscale.com/about/jobs

We have postings for pretty much all product teams. I'm a manager on our Data Integrations team. We take loosely structured data from APIs, flat-files, or whatever our customers can give to us... and bring it into a useable format. We're working on this problem for our 7000+ customers, so we have lots of fun problems to work.

We take data from customers, in whatever shape they give it to us... and get it into our products. It's a fun UX, Scale, and ML problem. We're hiring at all levels.

PayScale helps individuals figure out how much they should be paid, and helps companies set pay for their employees. 100's of millions of individuals have come to use for help over the last decade.

Our team is focused on getting data from the customer into our products, with little-to-no friction. We also work on sharing data between our products.

PayScale | Software Engineer | Seattle, WA | Full-time | Onsite

PayScale believes that fact-based and transparent relationships between employers and employees leads to better results for both. We believe this for our products, and we believe this for ourselves.

Why do we believe this? We researched the topic, extensively.

> We discovered that transparent conversations about money can actually mitigate low pay. So, if an employer pays lower than the market average for a position, but communicates clearly about the reasons for the smaller paycheck, 82% of employees we surveyed still felt satisfied with their work.

I like what you guys have been doing so far! Keep it coming.

Is this doing a `site:` search on Google? If it's doing something more, what is it?

Also, FWIW, the HackerNews blade doesn't return anything (I tried some pretty basic searches on it.)

We're also hiring backend engineers :-)

Welp, there goes my afternoon.

Way to be on the ball! I was coming here to post this for today (even thought it's late in the day). Well done, @alexzoltano!

I'd love to talk more details with you sometime! We(PayScale) don't scrape linkedin, but we have been collecting, analyzing and predicting pay for over a decade.

Go get 'em Tony!

How old are _you_?!

This could be cool. But, other than the pretty gnarly security hole pointed out by spykiller... the site is purely errors for me.

1. Several Reasons. It definitely saves money. But, also it's something our family loves doing together.

2. Every sunday, we choose 4 to 5 recipes to make (and shoot for ingredient overlap) for dinner. Then basically, some staples for breakfast. We use Plan To Eat (www.plantoeat.com) to do all of the planning and shopping list generation

3. Weekend dinners and lunches are usually 1+ hour dishes. Weeknights are usually ~20 - 30 minute dishes.

4. My wife likes to lean Paleo, but for health reasons, I have to eat relatively vegetarian. So, somewhere between those.

5. Plantoeat.com has been really useful for us. (but look forward to whatever you're doing on cucumbertown.com :-))

Yeah, my neighbor has one... and she's nice enough to keep it in stock with childrens books for my daughter.

PayScale - Seattle

Just closed $100,000,000 of financing with a Warburg Pincus (private equity firm). We're looking to hire some engineers to work on our consumer products. http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2014/04/24/warburg-pincus-to-inv...

Succinctly put: we help people get paid what they're worth.

Why you want to work here:

* You want to work on a product that makes people's lives better

* You want to have a great work-life balance. Example: tomorrow is going to be really nice here in Seattle, so I'll be out on a boat.

* You want tons of input into the product

Why you wouldn't want to work here:

* You want to be told exactly what to do, and how to do it.

* You know one programming language, and we don't use it.

This just really surprises me! Maybe I'm not doing enough intros.

I work at PayScale and I'm a pretty huge Node fan. We don't use it internally, but last year (maybe the year before, I don't remember)... I made sure we could report on it.

Here is some salary data on it. http://www.payscale.com/research/US/Skill=Node.js/Salary

I've got to run to a meeting, but I'll see if I can find more details when I get back

I agree with this post on all fronts.

What I find most interesting is that this reached the frontpage. I've never actually had people (a) not respond to intros quickly, or (b) not been appreciative.

Have you guys had issues with this?

This is HackerNews. It's not called PerfectSoftwareDevelopmentPracticesInActionNews.

Just saying.

Also, the app is just showing:

This is the second "tinder for jobs" app we've seen in the last week (the other was www.emjoyment.com -- not a native app though)

Torturing the dating metaphor, is Tinder a better model than eHarmony?

You posted a link to Berlin, which has several entries for different types of engineers. But close enough :-)

Restaurants learned this ages ago: start with a soft launch, and learn your weaknesses. Iterate. Then "launch."

Check out: http://vps1.dnts.net/tlds/ -- this is the timing on most of the domains.

Congrats on taking the leap.

One quick thought though: A fun side-project does not a company make.

Good luck, and let us know how we can help. But I'd start thinking real hard about how to make money (companies that want to block porn, but not all of tumblr (or reddit))

At our company, we've found that a cohesive design throughout a funnel will always* drive better results. If you think about google as a step in your funnel, then you'll be improving conversion through that same principle.

Also, you've guaranteed familiarity by using Google to buy users. It might be interested to buy users via Bing or Yahoo or something, to see if that same design wins.

But, that's purely gravy. You've probably hit a pretty good balance of testing and results with your experiment already.

* "always" -- not really, but usually.

PayScale - Seattle (Pioneer Square) - F/T - Platform Engineer

Can someone explain what this does? I wasn't able to discern it from the website.

This is cool. I'm a little concerned that what they've done expose some security holes in the iPhone mail client. And, all of this work will be for naught when Apples fixes those.

(Specifically, iframes in emails have been stripped from most modern email clients for years)
