Appthority - https://www.appthority.com
San Francisco - Embarcadero
We make no money and hope people use our social-local-mobile solution!
Just kidding, our customers are some of the largest companies in the world.
10 years ago it was relatively easy for big companies to provision devices with 'approved software' - now it's hard as hell cause everyone and their mom is a 'developer' and if you goto the itunes store there are tens of thousands of them - how do you vouch for their software? You don't have the source and you don't know them! Is this the 'correct' version of angry birds to approve? What about this BoA app?
We give them information on what apps do - 'does it talk to twitter? does it use this ad sdk? does it send out sms? to this particular number?' How? Through static/dynamic analysis and other solutions.
If your idea of fun is implementing an arm instruction set or you aren't afraid of terrabytes of smali output you should talk to us.
If you like having to middle ssl traffic on emulators to reverse a non-public API so that you can create 1000 fake accounts you should talk to us.
If you don't mind converting a 300k json blob of crap into 64bits of bliss we'd like to talk to you.
We might be an enterprise company where your options are actually worth a crap, but we still have the horse masks, the poker chips, and full bar just like everyone else.
What are you waiting for!? Email me now at [email protected] !

Appthority
FullTime no-remote Backend Developers (ror/c++), Devops, ios researchers .
We provide an API for very large companies to scan mobile applications against. We perform static/dynamic analysis (amongst other things) and prepare reports against them.
If you join you'll have the ability to own entire projects. You won't be wasting anytime doing boring webdev work. No social local mobile here. Screw that. We have quite a few projects that will allow you to really utilize your knowledge.
Yes, we have the booze and the nerf guns and the snacks and all that crap but we actually pay our developers too. Since this is the case we don't do startup slave interns or junior developers.
We are funded and have the biggest companies in the world as paying customers and they are asking some quite crazy things of us - step up to the challenge. On a side note - we basically don't build anything until someone hands us a check.
We need help but we need people who can write code that is very efficient and very fast.
Our office is near Embarcadero, SF.
Please email me right now at [email protected] .

dood - just make that shit a service - I've talked to a # of companies that were looking for something like that and were dismayed that they couldn't just sign up w/a credit card, seriously

fyi - SF min. wage is $10.24/hr - although I just got an invite to the app and if it's true to their word I'll use it all the time - I was using safeway delivery before as I don't have a car currently and it's a real pita to do groceries w/out - even zipcar will cost around that much plus your time

I didn't get this context from the post when I read it first - I guess this begs the question - was this a former employee of yelp or was it a true mixup?

I think the logic is that if you have successfully guessed a name that is good enough for them - remember - we are talking about people who are literally walking in off the street - they aren't trying to 'game the system' - they might not even know where the hell they are
some places ask for ids - but really a lot of places you just need to have the name - that's all

this is extremely common in a lot of meetups in SF - really the only reason they want your name on the list is so if you are a crazy homeless person looking for free booze and free food with a lot of expensive ass computer shit laying around you can't just waltz in
also, I am in that meetup group and yesterday was insane email traffic w/the amount of people that couldn't follow the most simplest of advice -- "we need your name"
