Earlier quoted context omitted.

Interesting, do you have any other positions? Front-end stuff?

I believe we are looking for some designers who can also do front end programming. Let me get back to you in the morning my time when I can talk to my team as I'm only hiring the PHP programmers.

Thanks, I'm currently in Hong Kong, worked in Shenzhen before tho

London, UK - Rentify - Software Engineer (Rails) We're a small tight-knit team that wants to change how rentals are done. The rental industry is old, antiquated, and ready for a push. We think we have the right recipe, and so does Balderton Capital, who invested in us for our Series A. We don't do deadlines, or assign your day to day work to you, or tell you how to get it done, or make your decisions. You're smart, p…

Would you consider candidates who live in the US, but that have the right to live/work in the UK?

London, Dublin or Remote - Volunteer or Intern

Looking to do something different, meaningful and help build a product from the ground up which will save lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world every day? Perhaps your looking for an interesting side-project or just a break from the commercial treadmill?

An early stage human rights start-up (the founder has just spent five years at another human rights startup which he helped setup and is now a market leader) in East London (still in the fun garage shed stage!), is looking for a mobile app developer or CTO. (Also people with associated skills such as LAMP, UI/UX, HTML5, etc would be great)

The start-up focuses on addressing a significant gap in the security of human rights organisations, journalists and activists - through the use of a web and mobile application. It builds on years of cutting-edge security operations in this field.

With the product features and business plan nearly complete we are looking for the right person to bring us to the next technical stage. Ideally you will be in London but remote working is also a possibility.

Interested? Drop a mail to secfirstmd@gmail.com

Amsterdam, the Netherlands. No remote work – must be able and willing to work at our Amsterdam office. Silk (www.silk.co) is looking for Javascript, TypeScript and Haskell engineers. We're building a product that makes it easy for people to create sites with content that is easy to query, visualize and share. On a deeper level, our vision is to bring the semantic web to the masses and build an amazing company around…

Interesting, it is several years since you've launched and still unable to sponsor a work permit/relocation? (especially considering that for Netherlands, it is quite easy).

Academia.edu (San Francisco, CA) - Software Engineers, Designers, Data Scientists At Academia.edu, we're trying to accelerate the scientific process by changing the way scientific research is shared.

We're a platform where scientists upload and share their research directly, and track metrics on the impact of th…

Last month I asked Ben if they are interested in H1B candidates. After telling me that "yes Let me know a bit more about yourself and your experience, and perhaps we can chat further" I wrote him a 1600+ words personal letter where I try to document my skills and my deep interest in their problem space and mission. it took me long time to write. 42 days later and a remainder later, no one bother answering, not even a "thank you but no thank you" or some copy paste crap.

I find this way of dealing with people totally disrespectful. Nothing else to add, I understand that they might be overwhelmed with mails.
