I'm Josh: just moved to Stockholm and looking for a job! Background: highly technical skills as well as business. Degree in IT and recently completed MBA. However, I am NOT a typical MBA. I can code and am currently learning Python and Ruby. I would love a position in development, product ownership, management, or any combination thereof! I'm pretty flexible with my career choices right now.

You should take a look at Klarna.

Not really a small startup anymore, but a pretty cool place. I used to work there but quit because of a long commute and being unable to relocate.

I'm Susan Stewart...

Looking for part-time work to supplement my income while I launch a project of my own.

Remote/anywhere or on-site/Indianapolis

I've got 8 years experience as a Drupal dev and Drupal trainer, and am a co-author of The Definitive Guide to Drupal 7.

Lately I've become interested in Python web development with Pyramid. My own project is being built this way, so I'm coming up to speed fast.

My other strength is community geekery -- I've done some speaking on things like hacker culture, creating a thriving developer community, and motivating users. Until recently, I worked as a Community Manager over at Stack Exchange/Stack Overflow.

I'm Dylan, I'm a college Sophomore working towards a Comp. Sci degree.

I'd love a summer internship working at (ideally) a fun, fast-paced startup, but am open to any other possibilities.

Based in Massachusetts but would love to escape for a summer; spent Summer 2011 in Palo Alto working with a team of 3 on an awesome project, and had a blast.

My recent jobs have been Javascript-focused, but I'm a quick learner. Extensive front-end web dev experience, as well as various dabblings in Python, PHP, etc, and most recently taking a shot at learning RoR.

This comment is off-topic, but should be helpful for the OP. If you don't upvote it, it'll sink to the bottom where it rightfully belongs (edit - so much for that...) Hey johnwall, you're in a good city to be a python web developer. First off, you should check these two urls on a regular basis: http://www.indeed.com/q-python-l-Washington-DC-jobs.html http://www.indeed.com/q-django-l-Washington-DC-jobs.html Second, he…

http://jobstractor.com/#!/Washington has one Python job at the moment. Also worth checking on a regular basis (or sign up for the weekly email). For people looking for internships as one commenter was, I noticed a few in the current results as well.

I'm from DC as well, but I'm currently in college and looking for an internship for this summer...you wouldn't happen to have any recommendations? I'm mainly a Ruby/Rails guy, but I can pick up anything...any help would be much appreciated.

We might be bringing on an intern or two at CustomInk. Great work environment, great office in Tysons. Reach out to me at csutton@customink.com if you're interested.

Okay I'll play. My name is Martin and I currently live in Denmark while working on (and make a living off of) my own projects. I recently got invited to stay with a friend in Hong Kong and I've absolutely fallen in love with the city. At this point I'm willing to let other people take care of my current projects and instead get a job so I can move to Hong Kong.

Background: Standard hacker-type story, no degree, some education but dropped out. Very motivated in general. My core skill is heavy back-end PHP development with a focus on speed optimization of both PHP, SQL and servers. As an example; recently I've been working on real time cache invalidation techniques so I can do caching without having stale data.

I participate heavily in the Nginx community and am one of the core supporters in #nginx on freenode when I'm not travelling. I blog from time to time about Nginx and PHP on http://blog.martinfjordvald.com/. My English is excellent but my Chinese non existent.

So if you have a PHP opening (or don't mind me having to (re)learn another language) in HK and can sponsor a visa then I'm your guy.
