Invitation to build the largest community of problem solvers

We are building an engaged community of problem solvers in different domains of Computer Science - AI, ML, Distributed systems, databases, etc. Hypothesis: Every hacker has a type of challenge presented in a certain level of difficulty that really intrigues him/her. We are building a large collection of problems from simple to real-world in all these domains and an engaging platform on top - contests, jobs, cash prizes and many more. Milestones: We have over 20-25k active programmers using the app regularly every month and that number is growing at 20-30% month over month. Welcome <your-name-here> Role: >To actively engage & interact with the current hackers (get feedback) >Setup & manage the hackerrank clubs in US (https://www.hackerrank.com/hackerclubs/us) & many more.. The role is a hybrid of business development & a community/user engagement specialist. >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) >Manage & organize contests like (hackerrank.com/calvsucsd; hackerrank.com/uho) >Business development >>Strike partnerships with different MOOC's like Coursera, udacity, etc. to power their programming challenges exercises with our platform. >>Sell the platform to professors who can use it to evaluate programming assignments - the current system they use is terrible ============================== Team: We're a team of 26 almost equally split between Mountain View, CA & 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 & inspired to get things done no matter what. I can guarantee that this will be a place where you'll realize your peak potential. Recent coverage on Forbes: forbes.com/sites/georgeanders/2013/04/17/in-silicon-valley-talent-war-zombie-math-rules/ ============================== Interested? If this sounds interesting, e-mail us with a. The biggest non-technical hack you've done. An example where you (or the rest of the world) thought it wasn't possible to do but you ended up figuring out a way to get it done. b. A simple program in Go that prints "Hello world" 100 times - you're going to be interacting with hackers. Even though a CS degree isn't essential, the curiosity to understand and learn a programming language is. c. The biggest failure you've faced till now. Let's talk (vivek [at] hackerrank) ==============================
