(The script that auto-posts "Who's Hiring" every month seems to be broken, so this is a manually created post.)

Please lead with the location of the position and include the keywords INTERN, REMOTE, or H1B if the corresponding sort of candidate is welcome. Feel free to post any job that may interest HN readers from executive assistant to machine learning expert to CTO.

San Francisco - Wanelo.com

Developers, designers (UX, visual design), full time, part time, interns

details (updated as we go): http://bit.ly/vQghbH

We're looking for humans who have the special capacity, drive, patience, curiosity and tenacity to build crazy awesome stuff on the interwebs. Our goal is to have you be our partner in crime/work/play - we like to combine these as much as possible!

You will have autonomy and freedom. You will be the driver (not the passenger) of your own destiny and your goals for our startup. You will be passionate about what we're building. You will choose when and how you will get your work done. We will all pretend that you are an adult and do our best to treat you as such.

We are an awesomely-sexy mass-reach consumer web social startup with a product that users already love! That's right, when you tell your mom about what you build/design- she'll not only be able to understand it - she'll probably use it herself! We’ve crossed 1M monthly uniques, 140k users, and have hugely ambitious plans to keep creating an experience that users love and to build a business that defines the next generation of ecommerce.

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. H1B is okay. We also have some summer internship opportunities.

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, so that big companies, startups, and developers 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, Loopt, 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.

We currently have about half a dozen job openings, from data engineering to software engineering to system administration. For the software engineering position, you would ideally know Java, Clojure, and/or Ruby, and you'll get bonus points for experience with machine learning, NoSQL, algorithms, infrastructure, and/or Hadoop.

If you're interested in the Bay Area office, it just opened last weekend, so you'd have a significant influence on the culture there.

You can email me personally at leo -at- factual.com, or view our job postings and apply directly via Jobvite:
