Any startup want to give us a try. I am leading a very small team of 4 people in one small town in India. I want to work in my own ideas, as apart from consultancy there is not much happening in some part of India. I am not getting the real experience. So want to be part of a startup to learn, work harder and deliver. This way I think I will get some confidence on my ability and my team strength. We can work on PHP, CakePHP, XHTML, CSS (hand coding), GIMP/Photoshop (basic photo editing stuff.. not professional logo or graphics design), JavaScipt/jQuery.... Learning Ruby on Rail too!!! Anybody interested can drop a few line to my id.... prasana.mishra at gmail dot com We would like to work for free till you gain confidence on us and we work upto your expectation....

Always a Bridesmaid is looking for developers to start ASAP (open to contractors, summer interns or full-time employees). I am a second year at Stanford GSB and will be graduating in June and working on building this business full time. We are going to build a one-stop shop online for bridesmaid dresses. The bridesmaid dress industry is a $2 billion industry in the U.S. that is fraught with pain and dominated by bric…

Will you be staying in the Bay Area?

I believe the answer is yes in this case.

You don't often get the chance to build the infrastructure for a site that will (re)launch and have to immediately serve two million-plus users, handle a never-ending influx of real-time data from those users' actions, and support commenting, moderation and relationships across all of them and their actions.

That's the web site for the new Star Wars MMO. Integrating live game data. Feeding it to the web. Letting people go crazy with user-generated content on it. For the two million players that EA wants, just to start.

The community is already huge. It's one of the biggest Drupal sites ever, and it's getting bigger every day. Come help me work on it.

BioWare is still hiring for senior Java and senior Drupal or PHP developers, as well as a graphic artist and an HTML/CSS/JS developer, in Austin, TX.

I'm an interaction designer for the web team, and the three jobs are here, under "Marketing:" http://www.bioware.com/bioware_info/jobs/austin_jobs/

They're contract jobs, so no relocation is provided for, but they're a year long, so you wouldn't have to look for something new right away.

Let me know if you have any questions, or if you apply and want me to put your name at the top of the list.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Is remote work possible or only on-site?

On site in San Francisco. We feel it's important for our early employees to experience the unique office and culture we've created.

Thanks. These hiring threads always convince me a little more to move down to SF.

FathomDB is hiring engineers to work on our new scalable relational database: if you'd rather solve 'impossible' problems than work on yet another database-driven website where your biggest problem is going to dealing with bugs in the Facebook API; if you'd prefer to build something that will power real businesses for the next 20 years instead of building a Twitter add-on that'll be obsoleted when they launch their o…

Don't get me wrong, "database as a service" seems cool and all, but ... inventing the future? Don't you have to be a rockstar or a ninja to do that?

Cynicism is too often just an excuse for mediocrity.

Burlingame, just south of SF - isocket is hiring two engineers. We've had real paying customers since before funding and Techcrunch was our first. http://www.isocket.com/jobs/ And we're pretty serious about being a flat and equal team - we stirred up some good reactions on HN with a blog post about why we don't believe in job titles: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1286982

I am one of their paying customers and have chatted with them lots. Great, hard-working and determined team. :)

If you've donated money online in the past couple years, odds are you've given to one of our clients. Presidential campaigns, non-profits, cultural institutions, universities and others. If you'd like to spend your days helping empower those same organizations, check us out: http://www.bluestatedigital.com/careers/ We're hiring for several positions, including some non-coding jobs for those who like hacker news, but…

I talked to a senior member of the Obama campaign (he led the Dem Convention but his name skips my mind) at length about what you guys do. It sounds incredible. If you have anything going on in Atlanta, ever, please contact me.

Quora in Palo Alto is hiring software engineers and product designers. http://www.quora.com/jobs We're working on a high quality question and answer site.
