#13Groupon is hiring all kinds of computery people in Chicago and Palo Alto - programmers, designers, operations, testing, support, Big Data, performance, managers, etc.
Full listings at http://groupon.com/techjobs
Most jobs are in both locations, and there's the ability to move or travel as desired.
A couple months ago on this thread, I said Groupon was planning on hiring 100 engineers this year, and we're on pace to hit that goal. The people we hired are so great that instead of work halting to train them, we have increased the rate that we release new features and products and our software quality has improved too.
All tech people get a new MacBook Pro and monitor. We use Ruby on Rails, git, RSpec, Cucumber, Selenium, Jenkins, and lots more good stuff. We're the biggest player in the daily deal space so we face the biggest technical challenges - tens of millions of users, insane growth, real-time, data-based targeting at scale, defining the hottest new space (deals) on the Internet, etc.
Usual official stuff aside, let me share my personal experience. I started at Groupon four months ago and I'll say that it is better in every way than every job I've ever had. My coworkers are amazing, we do all that stuff everyone says you're supposed to do (test coverage, automated builds, scope control, regression testing, etc), the atmosphere is so fun (company meetings are the highlight of the quarter), and everything I develop gets used by millions of people, immediately. My mom actually understands who I work for. I honestly legitimately love it here.

#15Can't help but feel like this might be a bad day for this thread. You would think people could set aside the jokes in an obviously serious thread such as this one. Unfortunately, as evidenced by some of the submissions already, this seems not to be the case. Ugh.
And you'd also think that people would stop taking themselves so seriously for a day that they could actually smile... but hey, what would I know?

#16Montreal - PHP/MySQL Developer Adult company, many positions available. High traffic, lots of new products, different areas, including credit card processing. Don't do one thing, do many things. http://gammajobs.com/ Edit: Downvoted, I imagine, because it's an adult company. If you downvoted this, at least you can have the guts to explain why?
I'm guessing the initial downvotes are by anti-porn crusaders, and the subsequent downvotes are because you complained about being downvoted.

Actually, I had -3 downvotes before complaining. As for complaining, I think it's valid in this case. I hate meta discussion as much as anyone else, but in this case, downvoters are imposing their views on others, and impacting those people from finding jobs.
Basically, I don't care about the karma, but I honestly do feel that the downvotes were against the idea of HN.
Plus, I'm sick today, and rather ornery.

Employment is generally something about which you want to be serious.
