Recruiter spam ^ (edit) This is "Who's hiring" thread and it has always been a place for companies to post their own direct-hire positions. Allow recruitment agency postings and both the quality and the value of these threads very quickly go down the drain. I realize that you mean well, but that's not the thread for your ads unless you are willing to disclose the name of the companies you are proxying.
If it helps, I'm a real hacker :) Here's some of my open-source code: https://github.com/Ovid
Here's some more of my open-source code: http://search.cpan.org/~ovid/
Here's my tech blog where I give advice to other hackers: http://blogs.perl.org/users/ovid/
I'm a hacker trying to help other hackers live their dreams and I give freely back to the community.
> This is "Who's hiring" thread and it has always been a place for companies to post their own direct-hire positions.
I realize that you disagree with recruiters being here. The lead paragraph for the "Who is Hiring" threads says the following:
> Please lead with the location of the position and include the keywords INTERN, REMOTE, or H1B if the corresponding sort of candidate is welcome. Feel free to post any job that may interest HN readers from executive assistant to machine learning expert to CTO.
I've never seen anything which states "no recruiters". We specifically looked for that because we didn't want to violate any TOS or alienate those we are trying to help.
I'm sorry you disagree with how we've handled this, but we honestly do try to help people live anywhere in the world. The fact that I've also been writing a blog helping people do this for years should help back that up.
When candidates contact us with their CV and express an interest in the jobs, we immediately tell them who is hiring and why. It's hard enough for those who dream of living abroad to find companies willing to help them. Why restrict their opportunities?

Off topic.
Having had a melanoma myself, this area obviously interest me.
Have you thought about a grander vision i.e. using a high def camera taking picture of he entire body in one snap and then analyzing that data?
I have more than a thousand moles, many of them abnormal, so using a camera on a per spot basis is simply not safe enough with the current technology.

#86Scribd (YC '06), San Francisco - H1B, FULL-TIME, and INTERN are all welcome
Scribd (social publishing & eBooks, top 100 website, 35 people) is hiring talented hackers and other technical people for a broad range of technologies.
We've hired FIVE full-time people and TWO summer interns from these "Who is Hiring" threads, including one just last month ... it really works!
We're looking for people who want to work with:
* Ruby on Rails (we're the #2 largest rails site, after Twitter)
* Javascript (well, we use Coffeescript)
* iOS
* Machine Learning / data mining / recommendations
* Back-end infrastructure: scalability, web crawling, big data, analytics
That said, we care way more about your personality and general hacking skills then what languages you've used so far, so if you haven't used these but want to break into mobile or web development, this could be a good opportunity for you. We've hired people from these threads with everywhere from 0 to 10 years of experience. We're profitable, very well funded and have a really fun office environment (go-karts + a rock climbing wall!).
Scribd alumni have gone on to found 4 other YCombinator companies, more than from any other startup. We think this says something about the kind of people that we like to hire.
We are always looking for international people interested in moving to the US and can help you secure a visa.
Scribd's vision is to build the digital library of the 21st century. Just as Wikipedia built the successor to the encyclopedia, we want to build the successor to the library. It is a big vision and we have a long way to go, but I'd be happy to tell you more about what we're working on now and how we plan to get there.

#87London, UK - M7 Real Estate - Full Stack Web Developer
I am Oli the Technology partner at M7 Real Estate and I am looking for a full stack web developer to work from our London Office. I can't accept remote workers for this role, but you'll be working from our 7th Floor Office in Marble Arch with awesome views of Hyde Park.
You will be the first dedicated developer to join the business, reporting directly to me who has been the sole developer to date. Due to the small nature of the team I really need someone self-motivated who is keen to take on new challenges and is happy to just get stuff done to help us drive our business forward. This is not a heavily structured development team environment and you need to be comfortable with that.
You need to be just as happy working with relational databases, querying them and also hand coding the standards compliant HTML / CSS to sit on top of them. Typical projects involve PHP, MySQL, HTML, CSS, JQuery. Experience of CakePHP would be brilliant, as would any C# experience but neither of these are deal breakers. Source control is GIT and the rest of your tools are broadly up you.
As well as our internal systems, we also provide outsourced web development services to 3rd parties so you will get to work on a diverse range of projects. Our core business is in the process of going through a rapid period of expansion and to support that we are starting to create a more formal dev team and you will be a pivotal part of that both in terms of how we operate day to day and who we hire as and when we need to grow.
M7 Real Estate is a company of 30 people, led by a partnership of 11. Most of the partnership has worked together over 3 different businesses over the course of the last 15 years. We are a close team that finds the right people and then hangs on to them. We are in the process of opening offices in Glasgow, Amsterdam and Denmark and Germany is forecast for later in the year. If this is of interest and you want to find out more about who we are and what we do, then drop me an email oli.farago@m7re.co.uk

We turn data into action on our clients' sites by doing real-time data analysis and DOM manipulation to put the right experience in front of their users. We’re looking for engineers who want to do highly visible work on great brands and solve tough problems with great coworkers.
What we're looking for:

* People who like hard challenges - we have great problems across our products - huge data sets, UX, 3rd party Javascript, high volume / low latency APIs - we have no shortage of fun problems to work on.
About us:
* Founded in 2008
* Respect - it's our core value. We have a great team and we work well together. Our vacation policy is the same as Netflix (we don't have one). Our technical teams are self-organizing and have full authority over (and responsibility for) the problems they work on.
* Open source - Google Closure, Python, Hadoop, Mahout, Solr and Lucene - we're open source across our stack
* Funded by First Round Capital and OpenView
* Market rate salaries
We've hired great people from HN in the past. We're looking for people not positions. We have people who have joined the team with no background in our primary languages and people from non-traditional backgrounds.
