Americas and Europe (remote): SpiderOak is looking for mobile engineering help
Since 2006, SpiderOak provides an easy, consolidated free online backup, sync, sharing, access & storage solution for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux with a zero-knowledge approach to encryption and customer privacy. (You could think of SpiderOak as Dropbox for power users.) We use Python, Django, web.py, WSGI, jQuery, PostgreSQL, nginx, 0mq, gevent, with some occasional heavy-lifting help from C, Erlang and Perl.
SpiderOak is a distributed, virtual company - we all set our own work schedule and work from home, coffee shops, or anywhere. We coordinate via Wikis, IRC, email, telepathy, and even face-to-face when possible. We don't bother with time sheets or other types of wage accounting -- we're a tight enough group that it would be obvious if someone wasn't doing her or his job.
We've noticed that some of the most accomplished people we know don't necessarily have polished resumes. As such, we don't care about formal education, age, gender, geographic location, resume, etc. We like smart people who love what they do and do it really well. Period.
If you're interested, please send a introduction letter to [email protected] making the obvious substitutions.

We're a 100-person financial-software firm committed to learning and improvement as well as great web software and agile development. Some of you may know us from our sponsorship of Hacker News meetups in London. We're hiring developers and other smart folks of many kinds. See https://dev.youdevise.com and http://www.youdevise.com/careers.
While we don't have remote workers, we do help successful candidates relocate to London or Boston including arranging visas where needed. For example, last year we hired HN readers from Denmark and the US, and we moved a Polish employee to Boston.

Tinkercad is hiring for a number of technical positions (frontend, application, systems programmers, computational geometry, ops): http://dev.tinkercad.com/jobs/
We are a small team building a cloud based solid CAD for 3D printers. The team has written a bespoke cluster distributed geometry kernel and is looking for people to build the editor as well as the site. I'm an ex-Googler from Mountain View, here is a Tech Talk I did on the core tech a while back: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aY4a9QnLhw
You can try the product at: http://tinkercad.com
The work is very intensive so we like people to be local. However, if you are a good fit and willing to move I'm happy to get you relocated.
If you are interested get in touch with [email protected]

Really REMOTE. You don't even have to be in the USA.
deviantART (http://www.deviantart.com) wants developers. We're fully remote; there's no central office with a devteam located there. We expect all hires to be comfortable working in PHP, JavaScript, CSS, and SQL; we like our developers to be able to hack on any part of the site, rather than being frontend/backend specialists.
One exception to all that: there's an Infrastructure Engineer position which is located in Vancouver. It's C++/Java focused, and involves developing backend services used by the rest of the site.
We post information about our development process here sometimes: http://dt.deviantart.com/blog/

Los Angeles or Bay Area or Shanghai preferred, but remote work is possible for exceptional candidates. Full-time only. If you're interested in working remotely, you must live in the U.S.
Factual aims to be the place where people meet to share, improve, and mash-up data. Our vision is to be an awesome and affordable data provider for startups and developers, so that they can focus on innovation instead of data acquisition.
We have a terrific team that is still fairly small, and an incredible CEO (he was the co-founder of Applied Semantics, which was sold to Google and became AdSense). Last year we raised a Series A from Andreessen-Horowitz, and our customers and partners include Facebook, SimpleGeo, and Newsweek. We have lots of challenging problems to work on at all layers of the stack: data cleaning and canonicalization, deduping, storage, serving, APIs, etc. If you love data, Factual is the place to be.
Ideally you know Java, Clojure, and/or Ruby, and you'll get bonus points for experience with machine learning, NoSQL, algorithms, infrastructure, and/or Hadoop.

Palo Alto, CA LOCAL or REMOTE (full-time preferred)
- one advanced full-stack lead architect
- web/mobile UI designer
We have funding and are testing a restricted beta of our unique idea in the groups and events space, and are planning on launching our real-time product on the web, mobile web, and native mobile to a wide audience soon.
We've built a real-time stack of our own that bridges backbone.js <-> socket.io <-> gunicorn+gevent (through nginx) <-> django. As the stack matures, we may release the source. The web application is nearly all single-page architecture. We use coffeescript pretty much everywhere, including our javascript tests.
backend: python, django, gevent, gunicorn, nginx, postgres
frontend: coffeescript, jQuery, backbone.js, socket.io, compass
We're looking for:
1. One advanced web jack-of-many-trades. You know a lot about several things from above and have at least tried your hand at a demo app using the rest. Backend/frontend/deployment. We'll be growing our user base very soon and need knowledge/experience scaling the above technologies. We're on the lookout for locals (or those who can move to the bay) who want senior developer ownership and can be mentors/leaders as we grow.
2. Talented web and mobile designers (referrals would also be good). Even with the nifty tech we're building, our app will probably live/die based on making an intuitive UI with fun and easy experience. There are several unique challenges in this product that require novel controls -- creativity is a must. Would be great if you have more than just design skills, but very high quality design is more important than ability to build it.

Academia.edu is hiring engineers.
Academia.edu is a platform for academics to connect and share research. On Academia.edu, academics can upload their papers, tag them with research interests, and distribute them instantly to the News Feeds of everyone following those research interests. On the flip side of this, academics see in their News Feeds in real time all papers that have been uploaded to the site in their research areas.
The platform is speeding up the distribution of papers amongst researchers around the world. The goal is for papers to be distributed as quickly within research communities around the world as photos are distributed within friend groups on Facebook.
Amongst other technologies, we work with Rails, Redis, MongoDB, Beanstalkd, Varnish, Solr, PostgreSQL, Node.js and Memcached. We currently have 1.9 million unique monthly visitors, and have doubled in traffic in the last 6 months. We like to hire people who:
* love engineering and building great products
* are intellectually inquisitive and think that speeding up research is a problem worth solving
* are fun and friendly
We're very happy to handle the H1B application process for foreign applicants. More information about the team, and about how we think about software engineering and product development, is here http://academia.edu/hiring. Feel free to email me directly at richard [at] academia.edu

Scribd (social publishing, top 100 website, YC '06) is hiring talented hackers and other technical people for a broad range of technologies. We're looking for people who want to work with:
* Ruby on Rails (we're the #2 largest rails site, after Twitter) * Javascript * iOS * Machine Learning / Data mining kinds of problems * Technical recruiting (yes, we're hiring hackers to do this too!)
That said, we care way more about your personality and general hacking skills then what languages you've used so far, so if you haven't used these but want to break into mobile or web development, this could be a good opportunity for you.
We're well funded and have a really fun office environment (go-karts + a zipline!). We've got flexible hours, a very flat organizational structure that gives a lot of product ownership to engineers, and a really terrific team.
Last week we launched our first iPhone app, called "Float", which hopes to make reading a better experience. If you're a fan of reading apps like Instapaper and Reeder, you're already familiar with what we're doing. See http://tcrn.ch/pCwT4c for more.

Hi HN! I'm Jesse, one of the founders of Everlane.
http://www.everlane.com
We're trying to re-imagine retail online and make it easy to find products that match your taste and style. Right now we're focused on mens fashion, but our ambitions are much larger.
pg did a good job of explaining the opportunity, here: http://ycombinator.com/rfs2.html
We're building a members-only club where each month we produce and release a new collection of mens accessories and apparel. Yes, we're selling our own products, directly to consumers.
This lets us offer a tie you'd buy for $80 at Nordstrom's for half that. To produce in-style products we have a team of curators, run the largest men's fashion Tumblr, and are generally data-savvy people.
You can read my (somewhat out of date) blog, here: http://20bits.com
We're well-funded by the most stylish investors around.
We offer competitive salary, equity, and benefits. Our office is in Union Square in San Francisco, CA.
If you're a hacker, love data, and/or love style shoot me an email at [email protected] and get in touch.
Also, if you're up to the challenge, here is a little exercise for you: http://static.everlane.com/everlane_exercise.pdf

San Francisco, CA - Yammer
Yammer is an awesome tech startup masquerading as an enterprise software vendor. We're building an enterprise social network (an internal communication and collaboration tool. Like Facebook.) and we need your help.
We build our product with insight and wisdom gained from the consumer social networking space, but we charge enterprise prices (and our customers pay them!) We're fighting some big serious competitors (Salesforce/Chatter, Jive, and VMWare/Socialcast) and this space has never been more exciting.
Yammer is really changing the way people get work done. We have actual challenges to overcome and we're doing our best to make a kick-ass product that makes our users happy.
Tech we use: Ruby/Rails, Scala, and JavaScript. We have Obj-C and C# stuff too.
Some bullet points for you to skim: • Amazing group of smart engineers to work with. Really. • We hack in Ruby/Rails, Scala/JVM, Javascript/JQuery/Node.js/Adobe AIR, Obj-C for iOS, and some MSFT/Sharepoint stuff. • Competitive compensation.

Yammer is an awesome tech startup masquerading as an enterprise software vendor. We're building an enterprise social network (an internal communication and collaboration tool. Like Facebook.) and we need your help.
We build our product with insight and wisdom gained from the consumer social networking space, but we charge enterprise prices (and our customers pay them!) We're fighting some big serious competitors (Salesforce/Chatter, Jive, and VMWare/Socialcast) and this space has never been more exciting.
Yammer is really changing the way people get work done. We have actual challenges to overcome and we're doing our best to make a kick-ass product that makes our users happy.
Tech we use: Ruby/Rails, Scala, and JavaScript. We have Obj-C and C# stuff too.
Some bullet points for you to skim: • Amazing group of smart engineers to work with. Really. • We hack in Ruby/Rails, Scala/JVM, Javascript/JQuery/Node.js/Adobe AIR, Obj-C for iOS, and some MSFT/Sharepoint stuff. • Competitive compensation. Enough said. • Delicious catered lunch and dinner daily, with a 3PM snack cart. Also a fully-stocked beer-and-beverage fridge. • Fancy Apple hardware of your choice (you can have a PC if you really want one.)

San Francisco, CA - MindTribe Product Engineering, Inc.
Hi, I’m MindTribe’s director of Software Engineering. I’m looking for people who enjoy learning and making. We’re a small company, and I’m looking for people with whom I would personally like to work and who want to work with me.
Here are the tools I use regularly: The C programming language (specifically ISO/IEC 9899:1990); Eclipse, Make, Subversion, Git, Python; Linux, Embedded Linux, Android, iOS; ARM processors (TI OMAP, TI Stellaris, NXP LPC); Atmel AVR/AVR32, Microchip PIC, TI MSP430, Cypress PSoC
Here is what I enjoy doing at work: Writing embedded software that runs on cool hardware; Figuring out how to apply agile techniques such as test-riven development to embedded product development; Reducing regressions and supporting customer development with agile techniques; Developing embedded libraries for things like USB, TCP/IP, graphics displays, sprites, fonts, encryption, etc.; Having long, dorky conversations with coworkers about programming languages, physics, estimating Facebook’s relative revenue distribution between advertising and games, etc.
Here is what I enjoy doing outside of work: Hiking, walking around San Francisco; Pseudonymous humor blogging; Cooking and baking; Photography; Reading. Recently: “Test Driven Development for Embedded C”, “The Clean Coder”, “The Four Steps to the Epiphany”, “The Art of Racing in the Rain”, and “Norwegian Wood”
You can see examples of how I’ve applied my tools and passion here: http://mindtribe.com/portfolio/
You don’t have to use the same tools and you don’t have to enjoy the same things. But if you’re excited about similar stuff, drop me a line at [email protected] to let me know.
