Earlier quoted context omitted.

I've applied for this multiple times, and as I see here you haven't replied to a lot of people. I've met one of your developers at a DeviantArt meeting, and he seemed like one of the nicest blokes I've ever met. Extreme shame about the management.

This reminds me of something the CEO of a fortune 500 company I worked for said during a company-wide Q&A. An employee had mentioned that he applied for an opportunity within the company and never heard back from the hiring manager. The CEO didn't miss a beat, responding: "Let me just say to all the managers in the room, if I ever hear of that happening, you won't be managing in this organization."

I had the same experience with a company in Gibraltar, got to the phone interview, went well, was told to expect an email with details of flights over and heard nothing, it's been months now. The CEO didn't come to my rescue, and I haven't heard from them since.

Really REMOTE. You don't even have to be in the USA. deviantART ( http://www.deviantart.com ) wants developers. We're fully remote[1]; there's no central office with a devteam located there. We expect all hires to be comfortable working in PHP, JavaScript, CSS, and SQL; we like our developers to be able to hack on any part of the site, rather than being frontend/backend specialists. One exception to all that: there's…

I would encourage anyone wanting to apply here to read this first: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3061860

I.e. don't fucking bother unless the management changes completely. I agree.

UK - London - Software Developer

We're looking to get some developers in at Revector. We're a small firm who do services for mobile operators, so we do things with SMS, VoIP etc. Primarily run with Python, with standard servers and databases, but we're doing things with Redis etc as well. Solid existing products, and opportunities to be involved in some new opening right from the start.

I think the job post calls this a graduate position, but we'll happily consider people with more experience as well.

San Jose - BVI Networks (bvinetworks.com). INTERN, H1B welcome. If you run an e-commerce website, you probably use google analytics, mixpanel or similar to track your customers and do some funnel analysis, A/B testing etc to optimize your site. If you run a physical retail store though, you're out of luck. How many people walk into my store and leave frustrated, without buying anything? Why isn't my hot new item sell…

H1B sponsorship possible?
