SpaceX, Los Angeles. With the Obama administration's recent budget recommendations for NASA (cutting the Constellation program), we're continuing our expansion. Mad C++ & Linux skillz? Want to write code that lives on the International Space Station or controls our vehicle while it visits? Think humanity should colonize Mars? Drop us a line, we're hiring. Visit spacex.com/careers for more info.
"This is quite possibly the first job posting I've ever seen that has made me want to write C++."
yeah me too. And I am not even looking for a job! But it is probably US only. And I have no intention of traveling. Going through the degrading visa app process is not worth it.
Is this a US only job? Seeing as you would be writing code that runs on a vehicle on Mars, maybe you could accept code from a different part of the Earth? ;-)
Too bad! Ah well, hopefully someone else will compete with the United States for Space Exploration in our life time. Nothing like fierce competition to stimulate making things easier for people trying to work for you!
ok so I scanned through ITAR and it has 20 categories of items on the "Munitions List". If any non US hackers want to be "Munitions Expert"s, keep reading.
(1) Firearms, Close Assult Weapons and Combat Shotguns (2) Guns and Armaments (3) Ammunition/Ordnance (4) Launch Vehicles, Guided Missiles, Rockets Torpedoes, Bombs and mines (5)Explosives and Energetic Materials, propellants,Incendiary Agents and their constituents (6) vesels of War and Special Naval Equipment (7) Tanks and Military Equipment (8) Aircraft and Associated Equipment (9) Military Equipment and Training (10) Protective Personnel Equipment and Shelters (11) Military Electronics (12) Fire Control, Range Finder Optical guidance and Control Equipment and (13) Auxiliary Military Equipment, (14) Toxicological Agents (15) SpaceCraft systems and Associated Equipment (16) Nuclear Weapons (17) Classified Articles, technical Data and Services not otherwise enumerated (!!!) (18) Directed Energy Weapons (19) Reserved(??) (20)Submersible Vessels and Oceanographic Equipment (21) Miscellaneous Articles
with lots of items under each heading.
And here's the bit that most affects hackers.
Section 121.8
(e) Firmware and any related uniques support tools such as computers, linkers, editors, testcase generators, diagnostic checkers, libraries of functions and system test diagnostics specifically designed for equipment or systems covered under any category of the US Munitions List is considered part of the end item or component. Firmware includes but is not limited to circuits into which the software has been programmed.
(f) Software includes but is not limited to the system functional design, logic flow, algorithms, application programs operating systems and support software, for design , implementation, test, operation, diagnosis and repair.
Hey, on second thought I think I like being an "International Munitions Expert" Better title than "Code Monkey"!
So this seems to make open-source software aboard a spacecraft illegal. At least the software specifically intended for spacecraft operation. That's a shame.
Ok, it's the third time in less than two weeks that I'm going to pitch it, but I think it's for good reason: I think that a good solution to all of these "who's hiring" threads is on the website that I'm working on.
Please take a look at http://job4dev.com. We want to make it more than a simple job board. Our goal with this site is to make it a tool where people can do research about the job market on their own. A "wikipedia of the tech market", if you will.
Things that are relevant to recruiters: posting jobs is free, provided there is enough information about the company and the nature of the project.
Things that relevant for job seekers: you can get custom RSS feeds, based on location (you can filter by country or state), type of job (part-time, contract...) or by tags. So if you are a Python programmer in Boston, you might be interested in this: http://job4dev.com/jobs/feed?province=MA&country=USA&...
Just for now, you don't need even to create an account to use the website.
Salesforce.com - Looking for a disillusioned web developer that just spent a year or two bootstrapping own startup but now wants to save some money, get some health insurance, and live in San Francisco.
Build cool demos with me and then one day...go back to the startup world.
It's vague for a good reason. We don't want someone who has been coding in only one language for the last 5 years. We need someone entrepreneurial...more like a jack of many trades.
I know there are people like that out there and I'm willing to wait to find someone good.
These are our first technical hires, so you'd have a huge impact early on in a growing startup!
Experience with Git, Linux, a dynamically typed language (Python, Ruby, etc), a functional language (a lisp, Haskell, etc), HTML/CSS/JS, mobile app development, etc. (or any subset thereof) would be great.
If you come work for us, we'll pay you well, give you benefits and equity, and you'll get to work on a lot of cool stuff. In the short term, we need to do a fair amount of front end work. In the longer term, you would have the option to work on a variety of other things (depending on your skills/interests) like mobile app development, building a facebook app, machine learning, moving into the (Lisp) backend, and a lot more.
Email me (address in profile) if you're interested!
If you are posting job opportunities for a large company (Google, Facebook, Yahoo etc.), can you please provide personal contact info. Many people likely already applied at such firms but were nicked because of their more unique backgrounds.
I'm posting this on behalf of my wife, but I'm sure there's some other people on this site that would be interested working for a startup, but aren't necessarily programmers or designers.
So, anyone hiring in non-tech positions? Ad inventory management, sales, project management, content administration... any of those jobs needed to actually run a site.
(Submitted this a few days ago, but it fits under this topic better than by itself.)
LinkedIn is hiring across all our groups. Mostly a java shop, we are also working with Scala (and, semi-covertly, Clojure (at least I am at any rate)). http://www.linkedin.com/static?key=jobs_open
Bump Technologies:
We are looking for smart people that fit our culture. Mac/Obj-C/iPhone/Cocoa/Android experience a plus, but not required if you are interested in learning iPhone or Android.
The Bump App is one of the most popular iPhone applications with >9M downloads. Our Bump SDK lets anyone add bumping to their app in ~9 lines of code. We have a big vision and are having a lot of fun! :) Half of our dev team came from HN. YC/Sequoia/Conway backed.
I wonder if PG should implement a feature for a regularly scheduled article for this question.
The alternative is for one of the expanding membership of this site to randomly decide there hasn't been a discussion of this topic "in some time" and post this and get some quick points (not saying that this is happening here, now, but I can see the potential for abuse)
If people want to score karma points, they are welcome to do so, I couldn't care less. That doesn't give them much more privileges anyway…
I would add that I don't think that an automated post is a good solution. Companies and recruiters would figure that out pretty fast and spam the regular posts. I'd think there's more chances that it stays pretty organic the way it is right now.
Axolotl is hiring developers to work on health information exchange web applications. In particular I'm trying to find a specialist release engineer. We're in Silicon Valley.
http://www.axolotl.com/careers.html
Squarespace (NYC) is looking for developers. We're building some cool new stuff and we have a good time doing it. Drop me a line at pdedios@squarespace.com if you're interested.
ITA's the place to be if you're into the air travel industry. The job is to be a technical go-to guy for airline/travel IT folks while they get up and running using an ITA product, like our search engine QPX. There's a lot of freedom, management gets out of your way and you just do whatever needs to get done. You can use any language for personal projects, web app demos, etc. Knowledge of lisp is a plus. Also we get catered Friday lunch, free snacks, great benefits, and a surprisingly good tea selection. You can ask me questions or shoot me your resume (email in profile) but along with your resume, do one of those programming puzzles we have up on the site.
Guidewire Software in San Mateo is still hiring developers (and QA and product managers), primarily on the more senior side at this point. Applications are written in a mix of Java and our C#-ish JVM language called Gosu (open sourcing later this year, we hope), the platform infrastructure is pretty much all Java, and we do a lot of testing and use a lot of agile practices to organize our releases. You can apply from the website (http://www.guidewire.com/about_guidewire/careers_listings), which will go straight to HR, or send me an e-mail (akeefer at guidewire) directly if you'd prefer and I'll answer any questions you have and/or pass along your info the appropriate parties.
We're a network of community-driven, fan-centric sports news sites, with a passionate audience of around 9 million. It's an interesting and challenging space to be working in, especially given the current transitional period for news media.
Engineers mostly code in Ruby/Rails. Other stuff in the stack: Linux, Apache, Mongrel, HAProxy, Memcached, Solr, MySQL. We have nice offices in a great neighborhood. People are smart and friendly. We're well-funded, pay well, and have solid benefits. It's a good place to work.
We're based in Washington DC but are open to remote workers. Apply at our jobs page or email me directly if you have any questions.
Twitter is hiring for systems, frontend, etc. We're pretty polyglot but the majority of integration with the web app is ruby, a good deal of the backend is Scala and the rest is whatever works best.
Okay, really, I want you to apply for Systems. We're building horizontally scalable, distributed, big data systems that can take unprecedented growth. The company is only a 134 people right now, and your impact as a developer would be huge.
Sounds interesting. I'll apply. (I'm a new grad from Case Western, and I'm really good at learning languages and systems I don't know quickly, and I have at least a passing familiarity with tons of topics.) I am curious though: the requirements mention "deep knowledge of a compiled language". What part? The language, the compiler, the libraries, the generated code, or something else? I've got the first two in spades for C (and Objective-C, but somehow I doubt you're using that much) and can figure out most anything about the third and fourth in a few minutes with the right book or Google query.
EnticeLabs is hiring hackers with a thing for UI and print design in the Salt Lake City / Provo Utah Area. We're turning the HR Recruiting space upside down, growing like crazy, and have great customers.
TomTom in Amsterdam is hiring. Looking for junion and senior Java/Javascript/Flex/Scala/Lucene/GridGain/Hadoop/Mahout folks to work on next-generation location services. Ping me at eric.bowman@tomtom.com.
We have a lot of interesting challenges--if you want to deal with tons of data and pretty high traffic this is a pretty great place to be.
We're primarily Ruby/Rails. A new project features HAML, SASS, and well-factored javascript. We use Scala for some heavy lifting. We use MySQL, Memcached, Tokyo Cabinet, and are evaluating Cassandra for our backend. It's a challenging place to work.
NREC (CMU's Robotics Institute applied research arm) is generally looking for people with robotics background (perception, planning, positioning) and good C++/Linux development skills. We write software to automate anything from tanks to haul trucks. If you've worked with cameras, lidars, GPS receivers, inertial sensors, are a machine learning expert, or hacked your Roomba to vacuum better than your mother, let us know!
we are a small team with big challenges ahead. Location based services is an exciting area, we're experimenting with "20 percent time" and looking for great Rails developers and a sys admin/operations engineer.
Working at Webs, for me, was a life changing experience. They took a chance on me when I was young & inexperienced and really launched my career. It's a gem in the DC/MD/VA area.
Great work environment, smart people, and an awesome place to work.
I'm also looking to possibly add a contract head to my roster. I run a small technical services company who develops connected TV/OTT/interactive TV applications. We're based in SF and likely would need someone on site in the SOMA/South Park area. I'm in the same building as Engine Yard and Sauce Labs (Sauce Labs actually rents a few desk in the same suite as me - though they're mostly in their own space now). We've done work for CBS/Brightcove/ The UFC and a few others.
I'm looking for a contract junior dev mostly with Javascript skills, but with the ability and desire to dive into new platforms and programming languages.
Can't guarantee much right now but I have a ton of work in the pipe that could make this a regular to full time position.
Drop me a line info@adifferentengine.com if this sounds like something you might be interested in.
CitrixOnline (makers of GoToMeeting, GoToWebinar, GoToMyPC, etc.) has a number of positions in the Santa Barbara / San Francisco area for software engineers, primarily using Java.
We have two positions available. For both we would like at least a year of experience with C#, but if you're a perfect fit in every other way we'd still like to talk to you.
1. We're looking for someone who's really good with MS SQL Server (database design, query writing, administration, etc...).
2. The other position is for a web developer and designer that can quickly build professional looking dynamic web application GUIs and connect them up to the backend.
The company is Conversive, Inc. http://www.conversive.com/ We are a small, but growning, customer service automation solutions company. Location: Agoura Hills, CA. If you'd like more info, you can contact me at "aaron" at the above domain.

I can't find your email address on your blog or in your profile. I know you're pretty new there but I'd like the chance to talk to someone working at google now.
Submitting resumes online is like dumping stuff into a black hole :(
My firm Hashrocket is hiring senior web designers, front-end specialists, and Rails programmers for our offices in Chicago, Jacksonville Beach and Santiago, Chile. Might have a position for a geeky business analyst too.
Current headcount at 35 and growing fast by doing kick-ass work for our clients while sticking to strong Agile values like fulltime pair-programming, strict BDD and quick iterations. We're known for our deep expertise in Rails, but quickly growing a reputation for our work with MongoDB also.
American Roamer in Memphis, TN is hiring. We are the leading provider of wireless industry data and data analysis. If you've seen a map of coverage availability, it's likely that we made it. We provide an interactive mapping tool written in Javascript with Ruby and Java backend services. I'm pretty sure local candidates are being considered first.

We are. Ruby on Rails shop (http://turingstudio.com) - we essentially operate as an external engineering team for startups.

Distributed team, smart people, desperately need more engineers. Hit us up at jobs@turingstudio.com.
What is a way by which a person interested in such a position could contact you? I looked at your blog, which was quite interesting, but I did not see any method by which to contact you other than the comments on the blog.
But a direct way to contact him/her would be nice so that you don't have to deal with getting past the HR wall of nonsense (i.e. 30+ years of Java experience).
We're hiring Frontend and Backend engineers with varying range of experience from fresh-grads to experienced. We're a LAMP shop (P is for PHP). We're doing a lot of interesting technical projects that are bridging the print (physical) and social gap. Send your resumes to BeAStar@tinyprints.com and put [HN] in your subject line.

Panjiva, a NYC/Boston startup I worked for last summer, is hiring (http://panjiva.com/jobs). Their web app uses Rails and they're looking for a web app engineer and an information retrieval engineer.
I'll toss in a recommendation for Mochi Media. They were very accomodating to me during my brief stint with them 2 years ago. The briefness was my doing, not theirs.
We're always looking for green-but-promising and rockstar-veteran software engineers, preferably with C# and C++ experience. Local to Reston, VA, USA is pretty much a requirement.

I'm looking for someone In the SF Bay area with metal casting experience to do some paid consultation. I know, this isn't programming related, but it is science related. Email geuis.teses@gmail.com.
Yeah, I did. They're more about teaching than putting artisans in touch with potential customers. There's nowhere on the site I could see to get in touch with community members. Kind of funny, since they proffer themselves as a community organization.
That's too bad. The only other thing I can think of is TechShop, but they don't have the same focus. I know they at least have a board up in the kitchen area where people put up ads and requests, but I don't know if there would be any casters. Good luck!
