Toronto, ON. Full time

Wave Accounting is an online accounting application for small business. We save business owners countless hours by automating a lot of their accounting needs. We're also doing payroll (which is my area).

* Front end developer - Our meaning in life is to present a beautiful, easy to use interface, this person will be working on both the accounting and payroll applications to do the necessary front end improvements.

* Python/Django developer - This is for the accounting application. Working on a larger team, you'll be implementing new features and integrations.

* Ruby/Rails developer - This is for the payroll application. Working on a smaller team, we're turning payroll into something that small businesses don't hate.

Month after month, the same companies list the same opening here (with probably 30% shift.) I would love to know if the companies that relist aren't getting applicants, aren't getting the right applicants, have a high turnover or are (hopefully) just continuing to grow. Also, are any HNers getting hired from these threads? Success stories are the most needed ingredient to remind everyone that hiring is happening.

Those companies are "permanently hiring". They're not trying to fill specific positions, but rather trying to skim interesting candidates.

NYC (Midtown East) - https://www.novus.com/ Novus is building the next generation of real-time financial analytics platforms. We offer difficult challenges, a no-bullshit work environment, and competitive compensation. We're looking for bright and motivated engineers to fill multiple roles, namely: front end, back end, and quantitative developers. You get extra points if you can combine two (or more!) roles into one.…

Don't forget to mention that our ceo personally thanks you for each and every feature or enhancement you make to the platform. Everybody in our it group is a hacker at heart. Oh and when I was asked to come in for an interview you said "wear whatever, just don't come in dressed like Kiss with face make-up and shit."

It's the best Damned job I've ever had and I think all of us look forward to coming to work every day.

I can only speak for the company I work for, but we are growing so fast that the company has doubled in size in the last year or so.

We've got real revenues and growth in traffic to our main site and our partner sites. Also, we now power Yahoo! Autos, which will give us another big boost in traffic and revenue.
