#152Austin, TX - BarZ Adventures.
Software developer, Rails or iPhone. Android experience also welcome.
We're a small but profitable business that licenses software for making tour guides and visitor directories. The company was founded on sales of a specialized hardware device - still in use in many places, such as the Spy Museum in Washington, D.C. - but the company has now moved to producing white-label mobile apps for iOS and Android.
I'm currently running both the iPhone project and the Rails back-end myself, but it's too much to juggle with the growing business. Looking for someone to help out on either project, so I can focus on the other.

#154For what it's worth (and as far as I'm aware), H1B visas are now capped (i.e. full) until October 1st, 2012 - applications are accepted from April 1st - so there may not be much sense in companies including the keyword "H1B" as requested, unless they're looking to fill a roll later in the year..
Where do I get similar info about capacity for other types of visas?
Your immigration attorney.
Sorry, not trying to be snarky but as someone working on a visa myself, if you need a visa and you work in tech then it pays to spend the ~$200 or so initial consultation fee to speak to an immigration lawyer who can brief you on your options.
Even if your future-employer will handle the immigration work (eg on an H1b), it still pays to retain your own immigration council because their lawyer is only to going to look out for their interests.

Are you guys doing anything with remote positions. I love what you guys are doing and would love to be a part of it, but I am bound to Florida. It's a long story but the tl;dr is my wife and I are my grandparents caretakers, so picking up roots is not possible.

#159Month after month, the same companies list the same opening here (with probably 30% shift.) I would love to know if the companies that relist aren't getting applicants, aren't getting the right applicants, have a high turnover or are (hopefully) just continuing to grow. Also, are any HNers getting hired from these threads? Success stories are the most needed ingredient to remind everyone that hiring is happening.
That's the case for Factual. We have perma-openings for software engineers and are always trying to find additional great people to work with. I've been posting to HN monthly for about a year. I get responses from 2-10 HNers each month and several have been hired at Factual. About 20% of our technical hires in 2011 were people who came from HN. I wondered about whether a similar post each month would be useful. I've…
Avenue of the stars seems like a really bad location to me. Poor access via public transit and awful commute times.

Stealth - consumer web and mobile

We recently closed funding (unannounced) from well-known investors. This is an opportunity to join at the earliest stages and help shape product/culture.
Do you find yourself using Google to navigate websites that you commonly use, or end up with many browser tabs trying to accomplish some task? We're innovating along how people interact with online services and designing a new web-based experience that allows users to accomplish tasks in a more usable, efficient, and social manner.
In addition to great generalist engineers, we are actively hiring front-end developers and mobile (iOS/Android) developers.
We work mainly with Javascript (jquery and node.js) and HTML5.
Curious? Contact [my username] at alum.mit.edu. And yes, we have hired from these threads in the past!
