We're hiring software engineers to help us bring data analytics to schools. We're currently working in 3,600 schools. Contact: jobs@panoramaed.com.
We're also hiring school district coordinators to help us grow, for anyone less technical reading HN.
Australia We are a Health company http://www.oceaninformatics.com/ whose leaders created the openEHR standard, which is slowly taking over the world as the best way to do Health computing. We have built the oceanEHR platform based on the openEHR standard, and provide this platform to others to build systems, we also build our own products and systems on this platform. ---------------- We are looking for full-stack en…
Very interested in this. I am located in Perth, would you consider remote from here?
To get a sense for who I am, and whether you'd want to work with me, just watch the 90 second video I made for Lawdingo: youtube.com/watch?v=DQ-4tMF30e0
Ideally someone technical, extremely intelligent, UX/product genius, and interested in marketplace businesses.
I raised a fairly substantial seed round just a month ago.

AMA Capital -- Palo Alto, CA. Full time. H1B okay. AMA Capital trades billions of dollars per day in the foreign exchange markets. We are all engineers, and we all do a little bit of everything, designing and implementing our own trading strategies and infrastructure. We are a very small team (I am the only employee) and are looking to add one or two engineers who will focus on strategy or on infrastructure. No exper…
Huh?
It's in most (if not all) "enterprise" storage stacks.. are you speaking about a specific type of nvram?

> with the assumption that location truly is a choice and people have chosen to live somewhere cheaper That's a terrible assumption to make. People often live where they do due to obligation to others (family usually). I would never work for a company that would consider cutting salary because they moved to a lower cost area. I also know several people that have quit a job rather than relocate to a lower cost part of…
To be clear, we are agreeing with each other. I think that is an incorrect assumption, too. We consider each case very carefully, and often don't cut the salary (it has happened more that we didn't cut salary). That said, it is very easy here in the comments to argue how bad it is to cut the salary when someone moves to a cheaper location. However, the flip-side of the same coin is what about when someone moves to a…
I'd say that's absolutely fair, it's kind of the default expectation in my mind at least - I provide a certain value to the company as a remote worker, for which they pay me accordingly. (edit - as someone who just found a job via a HN jobs thread, I don't want to hijack this with a long response. Please see http://pastebin.com/4SrQJRj6 for my full response to this)

Academia.edu is a social platform for academics to share research papers. The company's mission is to accelerate the world's research. 4.1m academics have joined Academia.edu, and over 300k join each month.
Many people believe that science is too closed, and too slow. We are trying to make science faster and more open. There are 4 things we are trying to achieve with Academia.edu:
- Instant distribution. Right now there is a 12 month time-lag between submitting a paper to a journal, and the paper being published. We need to make publishing a button, and the distribution of scientific ideas instant.
- Better peer review. Currently two people peer review a paper, which is too small a sample size. With 50,000 people worldwide in a research community like Machine Learning, or breast cancer, what 2 people think is not statistically significant. We need a broader-based peer review process, one that surfaces the opinions from the entire scientific community.
- Data-sets. Scientists don't share their data-sets right now. The data remains stuck on their hard-drives. The main reason for this is a lack of incentives for the scientists to share their data. We need to introduce the right reputation mechanisms in science to facilitate the sharing of data. -
- Open access. We need to bring about a world where a villager in India has the same access to the world’s scientific output as a professor in Harvard. When you open up access to the world’s scientific literature to the 2.5 billion people who are online right now, magical things can happen.
We're a 12-person engineering-driven team based in downtown San Francisco. Technologies we use include Rails, PostgreSQL, Redis, Varnish, Solr, Memcached, and Mongodb.
We have raised $6.7 million from Spark Capital, True Ventures, Mark Shuttleworth (founder of Ubuntu), and others. We are looking to hire software engineers to help build a faster and more open science.
There is more information about the company on our hiring page, at http://academia.edu/hiring. There is more on TechCrunch about our mission here http://techcrunch.com/2012/02/05/the-future-of-peer-review/ (The Future of Peer Review) and here http://techcrunch.com/2013/02/03/the-future-of-the-scientifi.... (Reputation Metrics in Science)
We will handle re-location, including visas. We are not currently hiring remote employees.

Low-cost place usually means a poor country - more risks, bad education/schools (so you have to pay premium for private...), unemployed family members, unemployed parents and other relatives, etc... So think twice before penalizing people from poor countries.
I'm not entirely sure about the "usually", it may or may not be true. But to offer a different view here, I'm from Sweden and cost of living in Sweden is extremely low. If you have an apartment or house outside the capital it costs next to nothing, we have no health insurance costs, no education costs, food is not particularly expensive compared to the rest of the industrialized world and so people usually feel it's…
And yes, not everyone lives in rural areas or small towns. Stockholm is one of the most expensive places out there.
