London - UK Disclaimer: I'm a developer myself, I made this list out of necessity while looking for a job in London last month. Last "Who is Hiring June 2012" didn't have any jobs in London! http://roundabout.io The list is far from comprehensive, but if you're a developer in London you should definitely have a look at it, there are more than 30 startups listed, and not all of them post in this thread.

Now sure where you were looking, but there were several UK/London based jobs posted in last month's thread.

That's 'June 2012':

http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4053076

and I don't see any London startups on the list.

Inkling, San Francisco, CA Inkling is a publishing startup. We are the future of books and publishing; our platform is so good that completely leaves ebooks in the dust, and even most major publishing houses are invested in us. We are hiring engineers of all kinds, from the JavaScript/Python/Scala/iOS/sysadmin to interns. We are Sequoia-backed and just recently secured another round of $17 million funding. The team i…

The https://www.inkling.com/careers/openings/ page is broken.

Most of the content is being pulled in from jobvite via an iframe, but the iframe doesn't have sufficient vertical space and is getting cut off (just above the "engineering" jobs, which is particularly awkward here).

Curious why this was downvoted? Is it because it's not paid?

Looks more to me because they are trying to hire an intern to do actual work for the company. That is a huge no-no. The general rule of thumb is that intern's should be there to learn, not help the companies bottom-dollar.

Just a quick example we had a paid intern communication design student for a short while. She would come in and take direction from the Art Director on her semi-plausible tasks as if she was working except we never used anything she produced.

Sure, probably a bit too early for us to get interns. Thanks for actually commenting not just downvoting.
