TokBox does embedded communications powered by WebRTC. We make it easy for developers to embed real-time video, voice, and more into their applications and websites.

Man I wish you guys were hiring for a dev position, I'd have applied in a heartbeat ( have previously worked on NAT Traversal and currently working on embedded hardware )


Awesome! We have recently hired devs and will again soon. I'll send you an email to find out what you're looking for, and let you know when the right-fit position opens up.


Worth looking into the the cost of living in the Toronto (or any) area. What you make matters much more in context of what you spending power will be.

The product is great but the people make this place where I work. It's an awesome group of 70 or so people- nice, smart, skilled. We are laid back and have a sense of humor. Good salary and benefits, relaxed, enjoyable environment!

We've hired a ton in 2015 and are continuing to keep hiring in 2016. We're looking for a JavaScript engineer in Australia who wants a challenge on a small fast moving team. Our head of HR is sadly leaving after 5 years, so we need a replacement. We’re looking for someone with product and/or marketing experience to do product marketing. For business development, we're looking for people with strong experience in either healthcare or education.

Could you please unbreak /ask by moving apply posts elsewhere? /ask is much less useful now.


We'll do that when we put up the /apply link.

TokBox does embedded communications powered by WebRTC. We make it easy for companies and developers to embed real-time video into their applications and websites. We build a platform and SDKs, and have great clients from individual developers to massive players in tech, entertainment, education, and many other industries (customers we can shout about from the rooftops include Chegg, Minerva Project, esurance, Major League Baseball, Double Robotics, and Fox Sports - but there are others we may be able to talk about behind closed doors :D). We've been doing real-time communications for over 8 years. We were acquired by Telefonica 3 years ago. It hasn't changed the culture much, and has helped us reach more customers around the world. I'd say it's the best of both the start up and corporate worlds rolled into one.

The product is the leader in the market, and the space is heating up which is exciting. But the people make this place where I work. It's an awesome group of 70 or so people- nice, smart, skilled. We are laid back and have a sense of humor. Good salary, flexible, and great benefits!

We've hired a ton in 2015 and are continuing to hire in 2016. We're looking a JavaScript engineer in Sydney (possibly SF?). For business development, we're looking for people with strong experience in either fintech or healthcare to join us in San Francisco or London.

You would think. I remember reading about how finance firms and maybe also consultants increasingly interview and make offers earlier to college seniors. If you have lots of debt and the company is a good enough name and they're paying good enough money, people take the offer. People are increasingly anxious, and this helps them know they have a pretty good job, for sure, next year.

This trend helps bigger, more established companies. E.g. Google or Microsoft know they will need many someones next year, and they have the resources and hopefully the desire to train up the people they hire. Startuply Inc may not be around in 9 months, and doesn't really know what they'll need then. Maybe the current sentiment of startups = good helps counterbalance this a little.


I doubt there's been a sudden influx of med related workers. I suspect the Bay Area's universities, pharmaceutical, and biotech companies have created a slow influx over time. Like tech, a long slow one. Because a large chunk of "tech" is medical related.

It's worth excluding the lab techs, genetic counselors, admins, etc., from the medical field if you're going to exclude the non-engineers from the tech field. It makes for a more apples to apples comparison.


What percent of Bay Area "tech" is medical-related?


I couldn't give a percentage, but there are a lot of biotech companies in the peninsula, especially in South San Francisco, and Kaiser Permanente is one of the largest employers in the area. UCSF and Stanford Medical Center are also major employers.


It depends on the tech worker. Not all tech workers are in those roles. It'd be interesting to see the distribution of all tech salaries. Entry level marketing, support, qa, and sales are all in tech, too.

I wonder how popular Glassdoor is outside of tech. And there's always the uncertainty about how accurate it is.

The calculator says: "One limitation of the calculator is that the income range that defines each income tier does not vary across regions or cities within the U.S. If you live in a relatively expensive area, such as New York City, it is possible that the calculator places you in a higher income tier than it might if a cost of living adjustment had been made. Conversely, if you live in an inexpensive part of the country, the calculator may place you in a lower income tier than it otherwise might."


There is widespread, often reasonable disagreement about what middle class means, either in terms of salary or total assets. Or cultural practice.

It's true, people do under-acknowledge other industries - law, finance, medicine.

Average SF health-related salary in 2014 - 67k.

"The industry employs 20 percent of the city’s workers, with nearly 122,000 jobs. The average annual wage across all jobs in the sector — from pharmacists to surgeons to genetic counselors — was $67,410."

When does health stop and tech being? Often it's a fuzzy line.
