Every hacker has a type of challenge presented in a certain level of difficulty that really intrigues him/her. We're working to build the largest and the most engaging community of hackers. We just crossed our 110k user mark and our 3-week retention is hovering around 20%. We're growing fast and... we're still in beta.<p>The problem with moving fast is it should be managed well, else all the effort isn't worth it. There are users who love it (https://twitter.com/GeneralBison/status/316539960129884161) and users who don't like it much (https://twitter.com/thomasABoyt/status/316030881812840448). It's easy to get this sort of feedback because they're posting it publicly. But what do we do about passive users? We're missing tons of critical pieces of information &#38; feedback from our users which we'd like to fix.<p>Welcome &#60;your-name-here&#62;<p>==============================<p>Role:<p>&#62;To actively engage &#38; interact with the current hackers (get feedback)<p>&#62;Measure every action on the site and see ways to improve the product to increase retention.<p>&#62;Feature stories on some incredible hackers (eg: Steve Jurveston's kid who is still in high school won a math contest at hackerrank (http://on.fb.me/10aPXGY)<p>&#62;Manage &#38; organize contests like (hackerrank.com/calvsucsd; hackerrank.com/uho)<p>&#62;Manage the hackerrank clubs in US (https://www.hackerrank.com/hackerclubs/us)<p>&#38; many more.. The role is a hybrid of business development &#38; a community/user engagement specialist.<p>==============================<p>Team:<p>We're a team of 16 almost equally split between Mountain View, CA &#38; India. This role is in Mountain View. You'll be working with an incredible smart team that comprises of ACM world finalists, ex-Googlers/Amazonians and most importantly people who are fired up &#38; inspired to get things done no matter what. I can guarantee that this will be a place where you'll realize your peak potential.<p>==============================<p>Interested?<p>If this sounds interesting, e-mail us with<p>a. The biggest hack you've done (can be anything you did to get around something)<p>b. A program in Go that prints "Hello world" 100 times<p>c. The biggest failure you've faced till now.<p>==============================<p>Let's talk.
