Working at Scribd: a pretty sweet gig

Scribd is a technology company based in San Francisco. We're rapidly changing the publishing industry and we're looking for talented technologists to help us. It's not a normal job, but we think it's pretty awesome anyway.

All in a day's work

There is a lot of deep technology operating behind the scenes at Scribd. We have scaled the world's second largest Ruby on Rails site, invented the first HTML5 document reader, and done original work on textual analysis.

Scribd is a very engineering-driven company: as an engineer here you will have a lot of responsibility to choose the projects you work on and to define the way they get built. And because we have an existing userbase of 100M and deploy new code daily, your work will likely be used by millions of people on your first week.

We believe in hiring the most passionate and talented people we can find. We care a lot more about what you can do than what programming languages you know, and we're looking for people with interests in web, mobile, and infrastructure challenges.

Go Karts? We got 'em.

To understand Scribd's unique culture, imagine mixing go karts and quadricopters with free food and company ski trips. Or just watch this video tour, courtesy of TechCrunch.
