Yahoo has an opening on for their application platform team. Expert javascript a must, PHP and/or Java a plus. It's a tough role, but rewarding. I've held the position for the last year and half, and it's been a good experience. (I'm moving over to YUI.) Great team, lots of interesting problems to solve.

I'm on this team, working with javascript with a side of PHP. Isaac nailed the description and we hope you'll consider the challenge. It's an awesome group with plenty of engaging problems left to solve. Gearing up for the Y! Homepage is only one of them. More: http://developer.yahoo.com/yap/ http://developer.yahoo.com/yap/ If interested, send your resume to rburke at yahoo-inc dot com and include Hacker News in the subject.

  Applying in the yahoo career portal is the worst crap they don't even review the application but they call them self as hiring.

    But... why are you going through the career portal anyhow...? You've got someone (reid) here who's currently on the team, and me, who's leaving the team and creating the opening. We're giving you email addresses and offering to send your resume directly to the hiring manager. It seems like you just want to complain. For the record, yes, Yahoo recruiters do review the applications submitted to the career portal, as well as resumes posted just about anywhere else. Maybe you're just bitter because you weren't hired?

I'm not trying to be a jackass here so I apologize if I come off that way, but what's the YUI team up to? I havn't seen a bugfix update to the 2.0 branch in a while. Is everyone focused on 3.0?
- IsaacSchlueter 17y ago
  No worries, it's a pretty valid question. AFAIK, the only development on YUI2 is to fix "significant" (ie, new and/or awful) bugs, and to remove forks and special code that was in place for deprecated browsers (ie, safari 1.0 stuff, mostly.) All the new development is happening on YUI3. I'm not an authority on the matter, of course, since I've only been on the team for -1 week ;)
