I run a small independent consulting group with workers distributed all around the world. We are currently close to closing a project with Fortune 500 Consumer Electronics Company (sorry it is not Apple). I also have a project with a small but well funded company putting there business on-line. We are looking for experienced Flex, Java and Scala programmers. Send me an email and we can talk more about the projects.

deviantART!

We're looking for senior (team-lead) and regular developers. It's a PHP job, and we exclusively hire remote workers. We have about 16 developers at the moment, but we're expanding because we have a lot of projects on the backburner that we'd like to get started on.

We only hire people who can do everything. You have to be able to write backend PHP code, HTML/CSS, JavaScript, and SQL. We don't want to have people employed who we can't just point at any problem that comes up. (People do tend to find their own niche, admittedly.)

...unless you're a great search developer, in which case we'll hire you anyway and lock you in a small room where you will never do anything but improve our search. I will warn you that, no matter how awesome you are, everyone we hire spends their first 90 days in the small-projects and bugfixes silo. We think that it's a great way to make sure that everyone knows the code.

Also, it's a 10 year old PHP codebase; we predate almost every PHP framework. We're running an in-house framework. Understand that you will have to deal with varying levels of code. :)

Americas and Europe (remote): SpiderOak is looking for help in engineering, marketing, and customer service. 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 customer privacy. We use Python, Django, web.py, WSGI, jQuery, PostgreSQL, nginx, and varnish, with some occasional heavy-lifting…

Quick typo--the last sentence on https://spideroak.com/userprofiles, at the bottom: "on top of the all that, they pay less money"

RentMineOnline (SeedCamp '08, FbFund '09) could use part-time remote help, anywhere between back-end (rails) to front-end (jquery/prototype/html/css) git experience preferred. bonus if you're familiar with {fb platform, amazon simpledb} send me an email if interested (kevin at rentmineonline)

I'm confused. Why did someone downvote the above comment? I previously upvoted it. The comment is certainly topical and useful.

I work remotely for Mozilla. We have both offices and remote workers all over the world. I work from home in Seattle, and I have teammates in Mountain View, Toronto, Paris, Vancouver, San Diego, and Pennsylvania. Even my manager is a remote worker.

See http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/careers for job listings, and check my profile for contact info if you have any questions.

My resume is a website/page, how exactly do I submit that in this resumator thing? Reformatting a website as DOC/DOCX/PDF is a bit absurd.
