if you don't mind, why are you limiting to US citizens?

Assuming he's not trying to become the target of a lawsuit, "US citizens only" is a euphemism for "we're doing government work and you'll need to have a security clearance".

San Francisco! Airbnb is hiring - I think we have around 50 openings at this point. http://www.airbnb.com/jobs . Regardless of the position, we just want hungry, smart, and awesome people. For engineers, we wrote a blog post 2 days ago explaining some of our most interesting challenges - http://blog.airbnb.com/hard-problems-big-opportunity In particular, we need some front end engineers!! http://www.airbnb.com/jobs/p…

I am actually in the process of writing an application for Airbnb. However, I am unsure about one important detail: Are you accepting applicants without a US working visa? (But who are willing to travel to the US as much as a tourist visa allows)

Toronto, Canada - Java Developer - Alpha Group

The Alpha product competes with the trading engine of the TSX. Currently about 25% of the trades on the TSX trade through our engine and NOT the TSX. We are a small company with a big vision and we are looking to expand our team by hiring a java developer. Ideally we'd like someone with 7+ years of solid java dev experience in core java not just j2ee/web app dev.

If you want the all boring details on the role you can check out our posting on workopolis.com otherwise you can apply directly by sending your resume to opportunities@alphatradingsystems.ca.

That sounds awesome. Is it hard for you guys to hire Americans? Are there lots of immigration issues?

Sorry for the lateness of this reply. We've hired international hackers before and dealt with the long immigration process. Our philosophy is we'll do whatever's necessary to get great people on board, and as stated in this thread, the TN visa should make hiring Americans easy, though we've never done that. (I have interned at two American companies and that visa process was relatively painless, which bodes well.)

It's really difficult to try to interest people (software people in general) in working way up North here, so we're not too choosy about where they come from or what their background is, so long as they're bright, motivated, and interested in kicking ass. :)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Assuming he's not trying to become the target of a lawsuit, "US citizens only" is a euphemism for "we're doing government work and you'll need to have a security clearance".

I think the euphemism is the other way around to: (1) remain legal, and (b) not sound discriminatory.
