I've sent 4 or 5 resume's/cover letters to coinbase over the past few months and they completely ignored all of them. Its not like I'm some kind of noob either. I've built a half dozen open source applications that use the blockchain.

If anyone reading this wants a job at a blockchain company, I suggest you not bother wasting your time with coinbase.

I'm going to post this here so I can show you're being read and noticed. I hope this will encourage people, that would otherwise believe no one cares about their problems, to share their bad experiences.

Your experience with Coinbase seems to be common with many companies posting hiring ads each and every month.

I've emailed and applied to various positions for the past 9 months, through these Hacker News hiring posts, but never once hear anything back at all. And then keep seeing the same positions showing up again and again.

Practically all these monthly hiring posts have been regurgitated over and over for months and months. It is very frustrating for many serious job seekers visiting these threads every month, and seeing the same positions time and time again.

Wish Hacker News has a way to flag them.

Sorry to hear that. That's a terrible experience and if we had considered it not a fit, we should have communicated this to you.

Do you mind emailing me at barry@coinbase.com with your details?

Thx

Isnt the simplest explanation probably correct in this scenario?
