| SerpApi’s job postings show up every single month without fail in “Ask HN: Who is hiring?” threads. A quick search brings up 8 pages of results for SerpApi. For context, Tesla—a massive company with far more roles, market cap, and global operations—only has 14 pages. Even MixRank, another notorious repeat offender, only has 7 pages. It’s crazy how often SerpApi posts here. What’s going on? Either they’re scaling faster than Tesla (spoiler: they’re not), or they’re constantly churning through employees. If you’re thinking about applying, do yourself a favor and ask questions like: + Why are there so many open roles so often? + What’s the typical employee tenure? + What’s the actual work environment like after onboarding? Posting jobs every month like clockwork says a lot, and none of it screams stability. | https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42575537#48255a23b89ae3370c1920c4ada655c6e88066770aa68088f3e8672f86b4570b | |
| At the moment, we are primarily focused on expanding the team in the US and EU. However, please don’t hesitate to reach out – we may be able to make an exception. | https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42575537#2d3b51d4a6a02051e67383cea2faa4d5f3333c87d3693f07bc7d95bfc0164753 | |
| Are you looking specifically for developers that are seasoned in Rust? I like the potential for impact in this role, and I think I would meet the requirements for the Senior position (Master’s degree + almost 6 years in tech now across software engineering, ML engineering and research positions), but my focus is Python and (to a lesser extent) C++. Wouldn’t mind learning a new language for a job of course, but I would understand if you want developers who already did projects in the language for a while. | https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42575537#bd0dbab48e58a43f88acbb7422b0f6a4d3a122752874243ebdf6e48272fde728 | |
| FetchFox.ai | https://fetchfox.ai | REMOTE | competitive compensation FetchFox is an AI web scraper. It convert takes a prompt and a URL, and crawls that site to give structured data. I’m the founder, and I’m looking for smart engineers/hackers to improve the product. We have a lot of flexibility on what you can work on, including the web app, or the free open source library which you can find at https://github.com/fetchfox/fetchfox . We don’t have specific language, credential requirements. We are looking for smart engineers/hackers who can produce quality code and work independently. Compensation is negotiable and competitive, on both cash and equity side. You would be the first engineering hire. We are an new company with proven demand and early revenue. Our limiting factor right now is engineering. To apply, please email me at [email protected] and mention this post. Looking forward to chatting. | https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42575537#3cbce794db5f7419b45ac1e25776c2f1ce4a11e6b6e5b7053c22115cd75701fd | |
| Sorry to hear that. Usually you should get an initial response within a week or two. I’ll ask around to see if we’re backlogged due to the holidays. | https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42575537#b10d6bd93ea27c88db051219b7f547d0520dc246f08c59f856a63ab96ab834ca | |
| lol | https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42575537#07123e1f482356c415f684407a3b8723e10b2cbbc0b8fcd6282c49d37c9c1abc | |
| Would you be open to sponsoring visas for people outside of the US/Canada? I am currently a ML/Computer Vision Engineer at an institute in Japan, and have a fairly extensive (4+ year) experience as software developer, as well as experience in ML in actual companies, but do not have a visa that lets me work on those countries. If you are open for sponsorship, however, I would be very interested. | https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42575537#0ba339b5143f531e52fdf42b11b7ed7cb379db2d2866cf51f9981dc0127008c7 | |
| We have been hiring around 1-2 employees per month. You can check our team page (https://serpapi.com/team) against its WaybackMachine (http://web.archive.org/web/20220127075144/https://serpapi.co…). It’s less than we were targeting and are still hiring. Around 40-50 this year. Regarding onboarding and tenure, we have virtually 0% turn over so far – which is one of the strongest if not the strongest metric for management performance – outside of us terminating people. Regarding activity on HN, I am genuinely on HN at least 4-5 times per day. Probably too much lol. It has been good to find like-minded people, our people, and HN has been instrumental in building a very-like-minded, highly trusted, highly motivated, and super smart team. We do reject a lot of people. And I am sorry if we had rejected you in the past. | https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42575537#0c11d8a04c27e9f70d3b3ba65edde12cd0d03dfe4089d75d1b916063450bf892 | |
| Sent you an e-mail. I believe those positions have a great fit with my current work and background, and I’d absolutely be willing to relocate to MA – the only issue being visa sponsorship, which you are offering already. | https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42575537#cf387310d00817bd9bf5c9bea3ffeeb6e550df2fc4ccd972782360d5cae9cc64 | |
| how long does it usually take to get a response back? emailed last month and havent heard anything since | https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42575537#c20f5d914b5e721300a297b9b541bc6687c3119e60a99633a2634abb63a47292 | |
| it’s sort of amazing. And no income tax! | https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42575537#f02ce104e01c01daec457793165d01d9eef87a3c45007fb37fab6049b7153095 | |
| Interesting position for me and would love to apply, but I am currently living way too far from Paris (Japan), even though I can work in France without sponsorship. Would the company consider doing this part of the interview remotely as an exception if I managed to progress to that? | https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42575537#2e3325c9a9986d645993058dfeed6fee3ca6dd1d1d3a91ba887481b09ae0a579 |
