Ask HN: Who's looking for employment?
188 points by johnwall on Jan 15, 2012 | hide | past | favorite | 153 comments
It's the reverse of a "Who's hiring?" thread. Since I'm currently looking for a job, I thought it might be helpful to get my name out there on HN.

If you're currently looking for work, post your name, the type of work you're looking for, and where you're looking for work.

I'll go first:

Andrew Dobrenko, I'm looking for python web development work, I live in Washington DC and would like to work here.




Great idea, but may I make a suggestion: can anybody who's looking for work make sure that they post contact information either in their response or on their HN profile? There are already several respondents on here that I would be interested in interviewing, but I don't want to clutter up the thread with "Hi! I'm interested in you" responses to each and every one.


And perhaps they should specify whether they're looking for full time work or freelance.


If they are a freelancer, this thread may be more appropriate: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3412901


I'm Charles. I'm looking for contract or fulltime. Local to San Francisco.

I run http://jsonip.com and created Helium CSS.

Been doing web development for 10+ years. Have a lot of experience doing full stack development with Python/Django, Node.js, and php a long time ago. Javascript is my main language these days.

Primarily have been focused on frontend development, so I know how to optimize the hell out of what's delivered to the browser. Very good at writing cross-browser code, though fortunately IE isn't as much of an issue these days.

I've done quite a bit of mobile-focused development using html5/css3 for multiple platforms. Have also done some work with Phonegap to publish apps on the Apple App Store.

I also like writing tools to help other developers do their jobs better.

You can contact me via geuis.teses@gmail.com or @geuis on Twitter.

My github profile, https://github.com/geuis.


This site may be helpful for the OP: http://www.maxmasnick.com/guides/jobs/

A fellow HNer compiled that list two weeks ago. It looks to be a fairly comprehensive listing of job listings. While it was compiled with employers in mind, it is also a good source for finding job listings that aren't your usual Monster/Dice/Stack Overflow. There are quite a few on that list which were new to me.

As a shameless plug, my email newsletter sends out weekly interviews with startups who are hiring developers, designers and product leads. You can find it here: http://startupfrontier.com

Remote RUBY ON RAILS developer

Hi, I'm a Ruby on Rails developer from Europe, Croatia. I'm looking for remote work. I do both front and back-end. Here's my github: https://github.com/bsutic

Feel free to contact me: bruno.sutic@gmail.com


Looking for: internship for summer 2012

I'm Tikhon Jelvis, a second-year EECS major at Berkeley.

In a perfect world, I'd love to do functional programming (preferably Haskell) for a small company either abroad or at least not in the Bay Area.

However, since we probably don't live in the best of all possible worlds, I'd love to talk to any company that fits even some of those requirements.

In my past internships, I have done both web-based work (primarily frontend but some backend stuff as well) and operations (monitoring servers and setting up continuous integration).

Email: tikhon@berkeley.edu

Résumé: http://inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~tikhon/resume.pdf (the résumé is a bit out of date, but I'll update it soon)

Hopefully that deluge of links isn't too overwhelming :) I'm just hoping to get everything anybody might be interested in.


OP: You should probably add your own comment where you state what you're looking for. Your ad for employment kind of has an unfair advantage over everyone else who posts one.

That said, I think this is a good idea. The "Who is Hiring?" thread seems to be the same companies posting over and over. Here, those companies can pick out who they like and directly recruit them.


This comment is off-topic, but should be helpful for the OP. If you don't upvote it, it'll sink to the bottom where it rightfully belongs (edit - so much for that...)

Hey johnwall, you're in a good city to be a python web developer. First off, you should check these two urls on a regular basis:

http://www.indeed.com/q-python-l-Washington-DC-jobs.html

http://www.indeed.com/q-django-l-Washington-DC-jobs.html

Second, here's a list of companies that are looking are have looked in the past for Python developers. The included links may not have a Python job posted anymore, but I recommend cold-calling/emailing each of them and see what happens. I'll leave obtaining the proper phone numbers / emails to you :)

Andrew, I work for Sapient based out of Arlington. I know that we were recently looking for a web developer with python experience. The position may have been filled, but I would be happy to put your resume in. The tech recruiter is a good buddy of mine. jakelear @ gmail.


http://jobstractor.com/#!/Washington has one Python job at the moment. Also worth checking on a regular basis (or sign up for the weekly email). For people looking for internships as one commenter was, I noticed a few in the current results as well.


I'm from DC as well, but I'm currently in college and looking for an internship for this summer...you wouldn't happen to have any recommendations? I'm mainly a Ruby/Rails guy, but I can pick up anything...any help would be much appreciated.


It's not start-up-y, but via my day job I might be able to hook you up with a programming internship at a very large professional member association.

This spring/summer we're building out a client-side-templating-oriented CMS framework, likely in Node.js or Ruby or some hybrid of the two. If that sounds interesting to you (or other HN-ers) feel free to reach out to me (email adderess in profile).


We might be bringing on an intern or two at CustomInk. Great work environment, great office in Tysons. Reach out to me at csutton@customink.com if you're interested.


Just sent you an email. Thanks for reaching out!


Paul. From New Zealand originally, currently in Singapore but I'll move anywhere for an interesting opportunity.

The languages I know rather well are Clojure, Scala, Python, Javascript/Coffeescript, C++, SQL though I've worked with many more.

I've worked in finance, academia/research and publishing. Was the CTO (and pretty much sole developer) for a failed enterprise software startup (Scala/Python/Web).

After my first job I wrote a 3D game by myself: AI, graphics, sound engineering, modeling, procedural textures etc.

Have recently created a number of small, automated web-based businesses on GAE, but I'm hungry for a larger challenge.

I'm mathematically inclined, and my next gig will definitely utilise my machine learning skills.


Thomas Macdonald, I live in France, but am British. I know C++ and C on Linux, Java, PHP, and JavaScript but I love learning new languages so have touched on Python, Clojure, bash, perl and even a bit of Brainfuck in my spare time.

I have a MSc in CS, with a focus on Operations Research since 2010.

I am looking for a small company, preferably in the US, but Europe works too, and I'll do backend web development, and/or optimisation software.

I would love to have the opportunity to learn a new skill, like Node or Ruby, but perfecting a current one would be fine too.

Also I speak flawless french.

My Linkedin profile is http://www.linkedin.com/in/tommacdo


I live in Prague, have Bc. from IT at Economic school http://kit.vse.cz, so I have solid economic background. I started to study Masters(Cognitive Informatics, changed to Knowledge technology). I have variety of experiences from Java freelancing (play! framework), installing/customization of applications for customers based on their demands, data triplification(RDF), xml and general IT stuff... Now I want to focus on developing web and mobile applications. Looking for some remote freelancing or fulltime anywhere in the world :). Marek


I'm not really looking for work, but something sufficiently cool could convince me to leave academia. My experience is mostly numerical/parallel computation and Monte Carlo, lots of C++ and decent Python experience, with some electronics stuff for fun in my spare time. I'd be particularly interested in projects involving both hardware and software, since my original degree was in applied physics and think astrophysics is a bit too abstract. I'd really like to work on building something (physical). For location, CA would be nice...


FYI, if you are looking for mind-blowing amounts of money and don't mind either Chicago or NY, your background is loved by folks in the financial industry.


Yeah... but I do mind NY. And I really mind the financial industry... ;-)


an obvious question..have you applied to Google yet?


Yeah, a couple of years ago, but the H1B didn't work out and I moved on. I should probably call them up again.


Hi, I'm Matt Hippely in Erie, CO (near (Denver/Boulder). This is my second career and I am a web programmer. (php/JavaScript/css/html). I have worked for several of the boutique web companies around Boulder doing things like: legacy bug fixes and enhancements to Zend applications, writing PHPUnit tests for an existing application, design and implement a customer catalog that can 1) be administered with a (simple) custom cms and also takes advantage of localStorage when users iOS device is offline. Other web stuff includes debugging cross brewer functionality and display issues. For database stuff I have always used MySql.

I have also done basic sys admin stuff - compiling ffmpeg for web and iOS optimized videos, integrating LibreOffice into an application for converting MS Office documents. I am comfortable on the command line and use emacs to edit most files.

I'm also open to remote but don't have any real experience on remote teams.

My previous career was in Biotechnology. I worked in the small molecule/drug discovery department of a large company and ran an LC-MS/MS instrument, collected data and compiled spreadsheets. That is where I learned about the power of automation with VBA to generate my run reports and set up my email releases to the team.

While at the large biotech company I did go back via night classes and get a second degree in comp sci; with regards to programming, I am self-taught.


Okay I'll play. My name is Martin and I currently live in Denmark while working on (and make a living off of) my own projects. I recently got invited to stay with a friend in Hong Kong and I've absolutely fallen in love with the city. At this point I'm willing to let other people take care of my current projects and instead get a job so I can move to Hong Kong.

Background: Standard hacker-type story, no degree, some education but dropped out. Very motivated in general. My core skill is heavy back-end PHP development with a focus on speed optimization of both PHP, SQL and servers. As an example; recently I've been working on real time cache invalidation techniques so I can do caching without having stale data.

I participate heavily in the Nginx community and am one of the core supporters in #nginx on freenode when I'm not travelling. I blog from time to time about Nginx and PHP on http://blog.martinfjordvald.com/. My English is excellent but my Chinese non existent.

So if you have a PHP opening (or don't mind me having to (re)learn another language) in HK and can sponsor a visa then I'm your guy.

email: martin@evilgeniusmedia.org


contact joel@bufferapp.com. His startup just received funding and they are presently in HongKong.

Let Joel know I gave you his email.


Hi, Johnny Brown. Looking for Data analysis/visualization or web dev in NYC. Graduating with math degree in May.

Experience with webapps in Python and Ruby/Rails. Used Java at ICPC competition and professionally.

Experience with bioinformatics in Python. Know my way around Numpy and Matplotlib.

Email: hire@thejohnnybrown.com portfolio: http://www.thejohnnybrown.com/?page_id=2


Hi, I'm Jeff.

I'd like to get into a job working with media, maybe writing to some degree (maybe your company produces in-house videos like KickStarter awesomely does? Or needs podcasts?)

I've five years of experience in journalism, producing a local TV news show. In the process of getting a two hour show ready for air every weekday, I wrote (news stories, teases, promos), filmed (news stories, promos), and edited others' written work/video. I was the guy responsible for everything on air and the station's website while I was on shift. If someone else didn't get their work done or messed up, it was my fault.

I attended college for computer science years ago, but ended up working in journalism instead. I may not be on your level, but I'm not a family member asking for help installing a printer, either.

If you'd like to get in contact, Jeffool at gmail is my "real" address, though I've got a more professional one at JwBridges at gmail, if you prefer.

Also, my account was created 1337 days ago today. Neato.

Looking for: Internship, summer 2012

Keywords: Python, Visualization, Numerical Analysis, Machine Learning

Name: Pratik Mallya, Graduate Student of CS @ UIUC.

Area: anywhere in contiguous US

Github: https://github.com/pratikmallya

Homepage: https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/mallya2/www/index.html

Beginner, but I learn quickly. Interested in any work which requires creative and original thinking (and better if a lot of math as well :) . I'm a moderate level Python programmer, but I'm learning continuously. I'm familiar with visualization software such as VTK, ParaView etc. In my last internship, I rewrote a plugin for ParaView that allowed a visualization to be run on a laptop instead of a SGI Altix Supercomputer, and I did this in 2 weeks with no prior knowledge of ParaView or C++ (I do know C very well though)

Quantitatively oriented programmer (python,R,perl,java,excel/VBA,bash,SQL,matlab,linux/freebsd sysadmin, whatever)

Seeking remote work or on site in NYC (will move for the right opportunity)

Experience with quantitative trading models, parsing (EDGAR filings, web), competitive pricing analytics for online retailing, dynamical systems modelling

dlovell@alum.mit.edu


Looking for contract or fulltime. I'm willing to do remote but would prefer local. I'm in the San Francisco bay area, but could be coaxed to relocate for the right offer.

My main skills are in Perl and Matlab. I have experience in Java and C as well as embedded programming, and I've used smatterings of several other languages. I am currently studying iphone programming.

I have been working for oceanographers, and I would prefer to continue working in the sciences. If you are looking for someone who can take the data computer grunt work off your scientists then I am probably the person for the task. I probably know more about ocean optics than you might need, but if you are in the environmental or optical sciences, I probably have a lot less to catch up on than your average programmer.

My contact information is in my profile.


Guess it can't hurt to try: Steve, finishing my PhD this semester, will be looking for employment. C programmer with an array of both professional and academic experience from low-level coding (microcontrollers, DSP, Linux kernel, real-time, audio), all the way up the stack to GUI, HTML5, Android development. Comfortable learning new programming languages. Recent work mostly consists of using Scientific Python for signal processing and machine learning (robotics applications). Also authoring a library for decentralized UDP communications with application in gesture-controlled audio systems. Big interest in doing more functional programming. Currently living in Montreal (Canadian), but more than willing to relocate to a major city in US or Europe. Please get in touch!


What's your contact info? Your e-mail address doesn't seem to be in your profile.


Weird, it definitely lists it on my profile settings. Thanks for pointing it out, I'll see if I can fix it. Anyways, in the meantime: <myHNusername>@gmail.com

Edit: I see, didn't realize I was supposed to put my contact info in the about box.


James Brewer here. I'm a American citizen in my 2nd year of CS at Memorial University of Newfoundland in Canada.

Since I lack any professional experience, I don't yet know what it is I'm interested in. I like math and I feel that working with data would be a very satisfying challenge for me. I program in both Python (personally) and Java (mostly for my courses, although I've been using Java personally as of late), but I am open to learning whatever language your company uses.

I'm searching for a Summer 2012 internship and, if I have my way, I'll be taking one in the Bay Area. However, under the right circumstances, I'd be perfectly happy elsewhere. All I require is sunlight and warm weather (nice to have: beach).

If you think I might be a good fit at your company then drop me a line at jjb127@mun.ca


My name's Sebastian and I'm looking to expand my horizons and those around me (UK, London). I love systems thinking but am a web developer by trade. I particularly enjoy RESTful API design. My favourite language is Python, but day-to-day I code in PHP with sprinklings of Javascript. I also love the concepts in Haskell but as of today I find it very difficult to get my brain to work in that way. ;)

Action is an art and I draw on anything at my disposal to solve problems. I am brazen in learning new things and busy myself exploring all sorts of disciplines. I am interested in development, product design and management. This might scream "somebody that hasn't yet settled on one specialism" but what it really means is that I am an integrator.


Hey Sebastian. I'd be keen to have a chat if you are. My details are in my profile.

I'm looking for any kind of remote writing contract.

I can document software from scratch, but I'm also great at taking your existing documentation and... shrinking it while adding clarity.

Many of my clients have English as a second language. They use me for post-translation localisation - in other words, they draft their documentation or website, and I fix the English so it looks as if it's come from a native speaker.

Navarr Barnier, I'm looking for web development work - primarily using PHP, but given time and opportunity I can pick up other tools. I'm a sophomore at Bowling Green State University where I've taken many Computer Science classes that have given me information but not challenge. I currently live in Bowling Green, OH with a permanent residence in Spring, TX. I'm willing to work anywhere provided ample assistance, and am willing to telecommute.

I'm Dylan, I'm a college Sophomore working towards a Comp. Sci degree.

I'd love a summer internship working at (ideally) a fun, fast-paced startup, but am open to any other possibilities.

Based in Massachusetts but would love to escape for a summer; spent Summer 2011 in Palo Alto working with a team of 3 on an awesome project, and had a blast.

My recent jobs have been Javascript-focused, but I'm a quick learner. Extensive front-end web dev experience, as well as various dabblings in Python, PHP, etc, and most recently taking a shot at learning RoR.

Tony Shepps - PHILADELPHIA

I do EVERYTHING: web design, web development, system administration, marketing and more.I'm an "extreme generalist" for cheap startups with broad needs.

1985 BSCS, followed by serious systems programming and software engineering

1990 Founded what is today the net's oldest community - see cellar.org

1991 Offered Philly its first Usenet+email access

1992 Converted to sysadmin

1995 Sysadminning on the net

1997 PHP development

2000 Founded first startup, web dev team

2002 Converted that to personal consultancy

2007 Enterprise Linux sysadminning

2010 Designing beautiful, SEO-friendly microsites for small biz

Affordable - honest - good-natured - will not tolerate bad coffee


UK - Hampshire. Python, django. Had a career in many areas of IT but not development for a long time. Want to get back to it - there are just too many new toys to play with! Developed http://www.jobsmanifesto.com (a work still in progress) and am looking for what will necessarily be a junior-level opportunity to get back into building things. Email address - replace the 'z' in my nickname with 'ley' and I'm at hotmail.com


Perl, remote, Asperger's. Give me your hardest data / db / sysadmin / web problem or project. If I accept it, I will give you correct, beautiful code that anyone can maintain.

If you can't explain the problem in a sentence or two, it's not ready to be solved. If you need a conference call to sort it out, solve that problem first. Please be just one person, not a hierarchical collective. Allow enough time and budget for a correct solution. If you need to ask my hourly rate, you can't afford it :)


>If you need to ask my hourly rate, you can't afford it :)

Sorry, but what does that even mean?


I'm talking about the recruiters and corporate people who are looking for someone who charges, e.g., "no more than $100 an hour." What does that mean if the problem is never solved correctly? That at least they got a bargain?

To me, an important problem is one where the lack of a solution is the big cost.


Is this passive aggression? The "If you have to ask, you can't afford it" meme in luxury goods/services contexts is fairly well-known.

(I find it quite amusing that somebody that has positioned themselves as having aspergus was being downvoted for what appear to be social reasons.)


Off topic, I know, but your posting reminds me of Paul Rand, the man who designed the Next logo for Steve Jobs:

http://www.creativereview.co.uk/cr-blog/2011/october/jobs-v-...


I love the simplicity and clarity of this line:

"I will solve your problem and you will pay me," he told Jobs.
