Just a note-- it's probably better not to have the "seeking work" option at all, or at least in another thread. It creates a lot of visual spam to sort through if you're looking for "seeking freelancer" positions.

Actually, this format works out quite nicely. If you're browsing this thread and seeking work, you ctrl+f "SEEKING FREELANCER". Likewise, if you're seeking a freelancer, you ctrl+f "SEEKING WORK". Makes finding exactly what you need a breeze. And those responses that include neither of these terms are overlooked, for better or worse.

SEEKING WORK - Remote preferred (Buzzword: Data Scientist) I'm primarily interested in freelance work, but full-time is also a possibility, and I'm willing to relocate. I'm currently in the Bay Area.

Aware of the main third-party apps and familiar of the South/Virtualenv/Fabric deployment stack. Decent sys administration skills, familiar with deployment/configuration using Nginx/Apache adn various wsgi libraries (gevent, uwsgi, gunicorn).…

You might want to change GIG to WORK in the first line. Otherwise whoever uses ctrl-f for "SEEKING WORK" will skip over your post.

SEEKING FREELANCERS -- REMOTE ONLY

While this is remote-only for now, it'd be great if you were local -- we're building out a long-term team and will be setting up an office in the coming months.

I'm with a 5-person team working on a real-time web + mobile application. We just finished a prototype, raised some seed money, and are headed for greatness. Hopefully. This is a chance to work on some architecture from the outset of the product. I'd prefer those who have a possibility of coming on long-term as I build out the team, most likely around Palo Alto, but do have immediate needs that lead me to consider splitting up short-term chunks of development for freelancers. In any case, we're distributed for now so remote is the only possibility.

backend: postgres, python, django, gevent + gunicorn

frontend: coffeescript, jQuery, backbone.js, socket.io, modernizr, compass

I'm looking for:

1. Advanced web jacks-of-many-trades. You know a lot about several things from above and have at least tried your hand at a demo app using the rest. Backend/frontend/deployment.

2. A specialized front-end dev who knows their javascript in-and-out. We're designing a single page architecture for the most part. Mobile browser experience would be good.

3. Mobile app developers (native iPhone & Android, though we're considering phonegap as well to get something out there faster).

We're staying distributed for now -- I'm based in Palo Alto but spend a fair amount of time with some of the team in DC as well.
