PayScale | Senior and Mid-level Software Engineers | Seattle, WA and Cary, NC; United States

PayScale believes that transparent, fact-based relationships yield better results for employees and employers.

All jobs are here: https://www.payscale.com/about/jobs

We have postings for pretty much all product teams. I'm a manager on our Data Integrations team. We take loosely structured data from APIs, flat-files, or whatever our customers can give to us... and bring it into a useable format. We're working on this problem for our 7000+ customers, so we have lots of fun problems to work.

We take data from customers, in whatever shape they give it to us... and get it into our products. It's a fun UX, Scale, and ML problem. We're hiring at all levels.

PayScale | Software Engineer | Seattle, WA | Full-time | Onsite

PayScale believes that fact-based and transparent relationships between employers and employees leads to better results for both. We believe this for our products, and we believe this for ourselves.

Why do we believe this? We researched the topic, extensively.

> We discovered that transparent conversations about money can actually mitigate low pay. So, if an employer pays lower than the market average for a position, but communicates clearly about the reasons for the smaller paycheck, 82% of employees we surveyed still felt satisfied with their work.

That's from an HBR article our Chief Product Officer wrote. https://hbr.org/2015/10/most-people-have-no-idea-whether-the...

I like what you guys have been doing so far! Keep it coming.


Is this doing a `site:` search on Google? If it's doing something more, what is it?

Also, FWIW, the HackerNews blade doesn't return anything (I tried some pretty basic searches on it.)


Tons of results for me: https://hn.googleblade.com/hn/ai

It can do something as simple as a site: search on Google, but you can string configs together to join up 20-30 sites together, create tabs to split out by sentiment, split out by number or dollar ranges, etc. etc. I have barely scratched the surface with the Blades there now, hoping to see some creative ones surface.


The point is that yes, all of this can be done with Google operators.

These are just links to those operators.


Well, yes, if you don't mind typing or pasting the same combo of 20-30 different search operators in Google.com, it can be done there.

But there are some other subtle differences: you get thumbnail images with search results (if available) with Blades, and you don't get a captcha to prove you're human if your search volume or rate is out of bounds on a Blade. (These are features of CSEs, not something I've hacked.)



Welp, there goes my afternoon.


Way to be on the ball! I was coming here to post this for today (even thought it's late in the day). Well done, @alexzoltano!


I'd love to talk more details with you sometime! We(PayScale) don't scrape linkedin, but we have been collecting, analyzing and predicting pay for over a decade.
