TinyCo! We're hiring C++ developers in San Francisco, CA, or willing to move here. iPhone, Android, mobile, etc. We've had great success with the "Family Guy" game, and have more work than we know what to do with. http://jobvite.com/m?3uqtAgwI

Would you consider contracting out work rather than having full-time/contract employees?

We're looking for full-time on-site developers, thanks.

Shutterstock - New York, San Francisco, Remote, Visa We're hiring all sorts of software engineers and data scientists. We've got some pretty fun problems -- image search, video search, storage scalability, tons of behavioral data to mine -- and an awesome team.

"within 2 years of graduation (pre OR POST)". IOW, disqualified if you graduated more than two years ago?
