We're hiring here at Graffiti in San Francisco for a new project (unrelated to Graffiti) called Interests. It's a huge endeavor that's challenging and rewarding to work on.

Gilt Groupe (www.gilt.com) is hiring for a wide variety of technical positions. We have a rapidly growing revenue stream and interesting technical problems to work on (building a distributed commerce platform which can absorb 100x request rate spikes, peaking at Amazon levels). Most of our systems are in Ruby or Java, but if you have the right experience using any language, we want to talk to you.

And information about how we work, which is a lot like an open source project:

If you apply mention [HN] in the subject it'll make it stand out. We typically do a paid trial project of 2-3 weeks on contract before making a full-time offer.

Yahoo has an opening on for their application platform team.

Expert javascript a must, PHP and/or Java a plus.

It's a tough role, but rewarding. I've held the position for the last year and half, and it's been a good experience. (I'm moving over to YUI.)

Great team, lots of interesting problems to solve.

Bump Technologies is looking for Java or Mobile developers: http://bumptechnologies.com/jobs.phtml

If you don't know Bump, our technology let's two phones connect by bumping them together. Currently we let users exchange contacts and photos (but more is on the way). We are YCS09, featured in Apple's most recent TV commercial (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giBNazD-Lm4) and currently #3 free app overall on iTunes.

In general we are just looking for really smart people that are excited about Bump and fit in with the team. Although we haven't posted a job yet we are also looking for someone to help with scaling (good at algorithms, optimizing apache2, SSL/HTTPS, and mod_python). If you think that architecting and scaling a real-time matching algorithm across geography and millions of users sounds interesting please get in touch.

We would love to hear from anyone interested: jobs@bumptechnologies.com
