Any sysadmin/ops positions? Er, *nix that is. I know next to nothing about windows these days.

NearlyFreeSpeech has a current posting for a FreeBSD admin: https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/about/work

Seems they always have such a posting, so I don't know if it's just not a current page or they have high turnover of admins.

That said, I'd also be interested in seeing other remote UNIX admin job postings.

Automattic, company behind Akismet, Gravatar, WordPress.com, Polldaddy, now has 72 Automatticians across 17 states and 21 countries. We have an office in pier 38 in SF, but only about 6 of us are in the area. We're completely location agnostic.

Must love open source, and preferably use WordPress or one of our products already. The vast majority of our codebase is PHP/MySQL, with smatterings of Erlang and Java for our XMPP and search stuff, and we serve billions of requests a day across our services.

We have a number of positions open, but the code and systems wrangler ones are probably most interesting to the HN audience. Let us know you found the job here.

Blue Gecko (a remote DBA services company) is looking for intermediate to expert MySQL or PostgreSQL DBAs. Although our headquarters is in Seattle, many of our DBAs work at home full time, and our corporate culture is configured to accommodate remote workers. Since we operate 24/7 we need folks in every timezone. Drop me a line if you're interested, my email address is in my profile.

I am not able to see your email in the profile. Can you please update it?

Fixed. Apparently only the 'about' section of your profile is publicly available, while the 'email' section is not.

This is the second post from myself in this thread. The reason I've separated it though is that we are looking for coders for a client who we're involved with on a percentage-share basis. They are looking for people to work on a telecoms/web project and are looking primarily for PHP skills (I know, I know). Normally we're using Python for our own projects, but PHP is required as there is existing code. If you're interested, drop me a line

We're looking for a longer term contract relationship with a developer who has significant development experience in PHP/MySQL/CSS and Javascript. Specifically, we want an individual who has done a lot with shopping carts and inventory management, and also comfortable with front and back-end design. We have a fairly complicated process that is constantly changing and therefore the codebase needs to be flexible as we are a new business (04/2010) and still working out the kinks.

The code has gone through a couple iterations with varying enhancements, but we ultimately want to deal with an individual or small team that we can get timely responses and changes from (we are located in Texas).

If you are interested, go to this form and leave your name and an email we can contact you at.

deviantART! We're looking for senior (team-lead) and regular developers. It's a PHP job, and we exclusively hire remote workers. We have about 16 developers at the moment, but we're expanding because we have a lot of projects on the back burner that we'd like to get started on. We won't be hiring you for any specific project; rather we'll be picking projects from the backlog once we have a sense for your strengths. W…

Come on, you guys advertise this job post every month on HN. Hard to believe you haven't found the right candidate(s) yet...

It doesn't seem that unreasonable to think that they have a continual need for additional developers.

They're also not the only company that has a "We're Hiring" post in each of these threads which strikes me as a good thing--assuming the term of employment for new developers is longer than a month. :)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I live outside a town of 750 and have fiber to my freaking house.

I live in an area with approx. 370,000 people and my only ISP choice is Comcast. Verizon will not provide FioS here or DSL, and the wireless ISP in our area says my neighbor's tree is too large and blocks LoS to their tower.

That really sucks. We moved to this little town mostly because we could get acreage and decent connectivity.
