dbachelderon Ask HN: Who is hiring? (March 2017)

Zumper/PadMapper is hiring!

We are doing innovative stuff in the apartment rental space. We have a two sided market and tools for both sides! Come work with us and help solve a problem that effects pretty much everyone at one time or another: finding a place to live.

Zumper/PadMapper | Infrastructure Engineer | SF | ONSITE, https://jobs.lever.co/zumper/51b45c4e-798e-4e85-b3b0-287b8c4...

Zumper/PadMapper | Backend Python Engineer | SF | ONSITE, https://jobs.lever.co/zumper/f10fda2d-331e-478e-82a0-64cb0fc...

We have a very senior backend team and we are looking to expand and modernize. We are looking for people with at least a couple years of professional Python experience. These are mid-senior roles. Ideally you are already located in SF so we can move quickly and get you on the team!

You are right that the generalization doesn't apply specifically to all categories.. but it does seem to apply in general and provides a great starting point for further discussion and analysis, IMO.
