Seattle (or San Francisco) - Designers and developers

Picture of Health makes tools that help people take care of people. We are self-funded, pre-launch, and small (4 in Seattle, 2 in SF). This is an opportunity to be in the first wave and help define how we do things.

What we most need right now is one or two great designers to own branding, interaction, and visual design for our web and device products. We're building consumer services, and having the right design will be important. We're committed to making sure designers are full partners in the development process. (See http://vurl.me/AYRJ)

The current dev team is me plus three former Hashrocketeers in downtown Seattle. That's a great start, but we'd still love to hear from developers as well. (See http://vurl.me/AZHL)

We'd prefer to keep the dev/design team in Seattle for now, but we could bend this rule for an exceptional person who wants to be in SF.

BTW, my co-founder used to be CEO of Sun, so we have a lot of runway. Also, in addition to the usual startup chaos, we have a few big-company perks like salaries and health insurance. :)

Chicago, IL - no remote

We're not a startup, but Trading Technologies (http://www.tradingtechnologies.com) is looking for an experienced Python developer on my team.

We're looking for someone who understands and loves testing, has experience with distributed and parallel programming, and wants to use Python 3. You should probably understand C/C++ because the product under test (a historical trade database) is done in C++, and we maintain an extension module that makes a lot of the testing possible.

Here's a more formal posting we just put up on the Python Job Board: http://www.python.org/community/jobs/#trading-technologies-c...

Contact me at brian AT python.org if you are interested.

Antwerp, Belgium.

Given the location I expect nobody to find their way to us via this comment, but hey...

Full time web dev job, PHP and ExtJS. We're a small team that decides its own destiny technology-wise. We work on a single product that's continuously developed, with lots of functional variety (there's plenty of non-CRUD work). Also, there's lots of opportunity for a developer to influence what they end up building.

We also have an opening for a Delphi developer, if we can find such a rare breed.

New York City -- UI Architect -- SeatGeek We're a data-driven search engine for sports and concert tickets. We're trying to use analytics and exceptional UX to make buying event tickets a wholly better experience. We currently have a four-person dev team, but everyone prefers to work on the backend. We're looking for someone to come in and own the frontend of the web app, which will involve creating interfaces in Pho…

I'm interested in why would using OS X be a requirement?

Certainly a fair question. We use it as a signal. Of the 100+ UI folks I admire and respect, I think all of them use OS X. So while it's certainly possible to be a great interface developer using a different platform, in my experience such people are exceedingly rare.

By focusing on those that use OS X we can narrow down the applicant pool and spend more time with folks that are likely to be a good fit.

Repost from remote thread: Posted previously on hiring threads and received a good response from the HN community. Needless to say, still looking for someone to help with my project to catalog every product in existence.

It will be a non-profit service however I'd like to build for profit tools around it if possible. E-mail is in my profile.
