Mumbai, India. Crumbs is hiring JavaScript & Mobile developer for a communication platform for business & consumers we are building. http://crumbin.com/Join-our-team

What's the youngest applicants are allowed to be? I'm 14, do I qualify? I've applied without a resume (because I don't have one), but would you guys actually consider a 14 year old?

San Francisco, CA - Yammer Yammer is an awesome tech startup masquerading as an enterprise software vendor. We're building an enterprise social network (an internal communication and collaboration tool. Like Facebook.) and we need your help. We build our product with insight and wisdom gained from the consumer social networking space, but we charge enterprise prices (and our customers pay them!) We're fighting some b…

+1 for Yammer, I just visited them for a meetup and the office is great, team is super-nice, and tech is very interesting.

Boston, MA - Ginkgo BioWorks is a synthetic biology startup out of MIT that is offering programming internships to develop CAD tools and software to support our platform for genetic engineering of organisms for use in fuels, medicine, and foods. If you want to work on something other than photo-sharing, this might be for you: http://ginkgobioworks.com/careers.html https://ginkgo.resumetracker.com/public/job_detail/84…

Do you have any use for someone with a Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) background? I'm graduating next spring and am really interested in synthetic biology.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

As a result of my last few posts there were quite a few people recommending that I use the who's hiring post as an opportunity to make fellow HN'ers aware of roles that might interest them. This is my first post that is anything remotely related to me sourcing candidates and I am keeping a close eye on it to see if it's well received or universally hated. So far it has a few upvotes and I've received four emails from…

Count me as someone who doesn't want to see recruiters posting in "Who's hiring" regardless of how good they are.

You people are ridiculous. Peroni has been around on Hacker News for a very long time and has helped numerous - dozens! - of our community out. Stop being so rude. If people are so offended at the parent comment, they'll down vote it.

Obama for America - Chicago, IL

Obama for America (OFA) is hiring many frontend developers to work on barackobama.com.

We are essentially a large startup that hit the ground running in April of this year. We need skilled frontend developers to help us create another groundbreaking information and mobilization site to help re-elect the President.

We're looking for developers with experience in HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, jQuery, jQuery mobile, ExpressionEngine, social APIs, Git, A/B testing and anything else that is necessary to achieve our goal.

OFA is a very unique opportunity to work for the President on a high profile site that has tons of traffic. One of the many benefits is working with a very talented design team.

If you would like to have a part in helping the President strengthen the country and improve the lives of millions of Americans, contact Kyle Rush (@kylerush OR krush@barackobama.com). Job description/posting here: http://www.authenticjobs.com/jobs/9256/frontend-developer

Palo Alto, CA LOCAL or REMOTE (full-time preferred)

- one advanced full-stack lead architect

- web/mobile UI designer

We have funding and are testing a restricted beta of our unique idea in the groups and events space, and are planning on launching our real-time product on the web, mobile web, and native mobile to a wide audience soon.

We've built a real-time stack of our own that bridges backbone.js socket.io gunicorn+gevent (through nginx) django. As the stack matures, we may release the source. The web application is nearly all single-page architecture. We use coffeescript pretty much everywhere, including our javascript tests.

backend: python, django, gevent, gunicorn, nginx, postgres

frontend: coffeescript, jQuery, backbone.js, socket.io, compass

We're looking for:

1. One advanced web jack-of-many-trades. You know a lot about several things from above and have at least tried your hand at a demo app using the rest. Backend/frontend/deployment. We'll be growing our user base very soon and need knowledge/experience scaling the above technologies. We're on the lookout for locals (or those who can move to the bay) who want senior developer ownership and can be mentors/leaders as we grow.

2. Talented web and mobile designers (referrals would also be good). Even with the nifty tech we're building, our app will probably live/die based on making an intuitive UI with fun and easy experience. There are several unique challenges in this product that require novel controls -- creativity is a must. Would be great if you have more than just design skills, but very high quality design is more important than ability to build it.
