Interviewstreet (YC S11) is hiring in MountainView & Bangalore.

Our mission is to connect great talent with great opportunities in the fastest and efficient way.

We have two products -

a. One for enterprises (interviewstreet.com) which helps companies to screen programmers effectively using coding challenges. It's used by leading technology companies like Facebook, Amazon, Walmart, Box, Evernote, Palantir, Groupon, etc.

b. Build the community of programmers in different domains of Computer Science at hackerrank.com. Every hacker has one type of challenge in a particular domain (AI or ML or functional programming, etc.) that really intrigues him/her. We are building the centralized platform for the most interesting problems across these domains from novice to real-world.

Fast forward 3-5 years, we will be a company with thousands of technology companies as our customers and a million programmers in HackerRank building one of the most effective and fun platform for talent. The result is much bigger than just jobs but an aggregation of the "brains" of all the problem solvers - hugely powerful.

We are well-funded by YC, Khosla ventures, Jawed Karim and many more. We are a team of 23, fast growing and hiring across different roles - hackers, sales, marketing, etc.

If you're interested, please e-mail team [at] interviewstreet with your strongest forte and biggest failure. We'll take it forward from there.

Looking forward to working with you - Vivek, co-founder, interviewstreet



Hello, Interviewstreet Handle: Avijit Hacker Email ID: avijitsinghthakur18@gmail.com

Biggest Failure: In 2007, I went for a Hindi Declamation Contest where I need to give a presentation against a big crowd on topic. I saw the crowd and stood still like a statue. I prepared for that contest for 7 days but biggest mistake I did, I was preparing for the content in my speech but not for how I should face the crowd. That day everybody laughed. I went back, my father told me that day, Avi see when we go on stage even if we perform good or bad that crowd is not gonna kill or hurt us then why we should get scared of them. Its your voice which is controlling them. Today I am a good presenter in result of that lesson.

Biggest Achievement: I always considered myself as a programmer but when I first saw Interview street and its challenges I realized my true level. Improving myself as a programmer here to analyze a problem more precisely is one among my biggest achievement . I am proud that today I am more or less a programmer.

Regards, Avijit

Hello sir, I am K Rohit Rao from Kharagpur, pursuing B. Tech from Bengal Engineering and Science University, Shibpur. I am presently in final year(Computer Science and Technology). IIT JEE seems to be the heart breaker for everyone, broke my heart twice. Almost cried like a baby but I learnt a lot from it. I was one of the toppers in school. I secured Third rank in city in dRSHTi, an All India Aptitude Test. Though I consider myself an average programmer but i am determined to learn. I am hardworking and love to keep my grey cells active.
