SEEKING WORK - New York, NY

Particularly experienced in Django. Solid familiarity with C#, and firmly intermediate fluency in Haskell.

Client side experience with jQuery, backbone and coffeescript.

Would enjoy working in-person in NYC, but remote is fine as well.

SEEKING WORK - Edinburgh, Scotland, remote.

I'm a Linux sysadmin, although my friend recently said I should describe myself as an 'infrastructure engineer' if I want to get jobs more easily. I do contract work a couple of days a week - security audits, infrastructure automation (with chef, or whatever you like), working on scaling web applications, deploying rails apps, all those fun things.

I have some ideas about high availability that involve thinking in terms of MTTR instead of uptime that I'm itching to try out. I reckon it should be possible to have the MTTR for 'Amazon turns off all of EC2' to be under an hour. Want to try and make your infrastructure that resilient? My email's john@semantici.st.

(Also, here is why hiring remote sysadmins makes sense: http://semantici.st/archives/277:americans-should-hire-remot...)

SEEKING FREELANCER - Remote work. We're based in San Francisco and Chicago.

We're an e-cigarette company that is looking to develop our own e-cigarette to be manufactured in the US. The ideal candidate is an engineer who could carry the project from design to manufacturing. However, if you can only offer product design we can handle the manufacturing ourselves if necessary.

If you think you're a fit for the project send me an email at aria@gentlemansvapes.com.

SEEKING WORK - Remote, Columbus or Cincinnati areas, or the possibility of a travel / remote combination. My specialties are Ruby, Rails, and javascript/jQuery, but I also have a great deal of experience with Asp.net MVC. Over the past year or two, I've primarily been doing Rails development for clients, including several startups, intermixed with some consulting work as a Team Lead and Ruby/Cucumber mentor at a large financial company.

SEEKING WORK - Freelance / Remote (San Francisco Bay Area) Ruby / Rails / Heroku code: https://github.com/mattvanhorn blog: http://mattvanhorn.com 18 years web experience, 6 with Rails Would like to try an Agile/BDD, pay-by-the-story (not hour) approach. This might work better for very early-stage startups. twitter: @nycplayer

I'm interested in how your experiment comes out, pay-per-story/story-points. Please do blog this. (I'm also interested how this interacts with pressure from Chickens "Oh, it can't be that many points" etc.
