1) Should we do this as a periodic feature (say every quarter)? 2) I repeat the links below to make them clickable. I also noted the time since the "Who's hiring" postings were made. 360 days ago: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=375410 [Ask HN: Who's Hiring?] 99 days ago: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=759452 [Ask HN: Who's Hiring?

I also wonder if there's any way to build some lightweight features on top of these job postings (sort by location, skills, etc) without it becoming YAJS (yet another job site).

I prefer to just have people comment and possibly post links/email addresses. If feels more organic that way.

Quora (Palo Alto) would hire someone if we found the right person.

Quora is a continually improving collection of questions and answers. We're a startup based in Palo Alto, CA founded by Adam D'Angelo, who was previously CTO and VP of engineering at Facebook, and Charlie Cheever, who led Facebook Platform and Facebook Connect.

Some of the challenges are highly algorithmic, such as coming up with ways to organize and categorize the information effectively so that users can efficiently find what they need; others are very technical, such as working to make a web application that is complex while still being very fast; and many of the challenges are in product design, such as figuring out a way to set up and grow a healthy community and constructing intuitive interfaces for users.

We are committed to building a cutting-edge technology company that develops software the right way and is a place where engineers love to work. Some of the tools we are using include Python, Pylons, nginx, memcached, Thrift, and git. We're using continuous deployment and EC2, so all code you write will go live to production within minutes no matter what time it is. Both founders are developers. We want to build a fantastically strong engineering team and the first engineers that join us should set the tone for that.

IMVU Inc. is hiring: http://bit.ly/6XTJ5r Work in entertainment (profitably!) on fun problems with an amazing architecture and amazing development process.

Why I love working at IMVU:

I get to write C++, Python, SQL, and PHP in the same day, if they're the right tools for the task at hand.

My changes are available to customers 30 minutes after finishing them.

An active and excited community of users: http://search.twitter.com/search?q=imvu

Naughty Dog is hiring ( http://www.naughtydog.com/ ). Our jobs section isn't listing the positions, but we are hiring programmers, designers, and artists. Email: jobs@naughtydog.com

Off-topic but I just want to give kudos on Uncharted 2. People talk about the Xbox360 and PS3 as the next generation of video game consoles; I think Uncharted 2 is the first real next generation video game. It's truly amazing.

Congrats and Thanks!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

( Speaking of, I think I'm speaking at CUSEC this year, and anyone who's got any advice for me, I would pretty much kill to get it. ) It's simple. The best security researchers are people who have (or at least could) ship software. There is a big swath of high-end work that you simply can't deliver if you can't code. That's where Matasano plays. I suppose you could be a very strong Payment Card Industry certification…

Plus, don't you have a product which may benefit from developers, even if they don't start working on that project?

We do, and we have a full time dev team on it, but I don't like promising people a product development role when I'm looking for app security people. We're hiring on the product too!

friend's company hiring research engineer with AI programming skills: http://www.optech.ca/jobs/Research%20Engineer-OI-041609.html

This company is headquartered in Toronto, but is looking for a US-based employee. It's hard to tell from info on the website, so I'll ask for clarification here: is this a telecommuting job with lots of travel or is there a US office as well?

Offices in Toronto and Mississippi. I know the founder/president of the company. He's a smart man and they do interesting work.
