Splunk is hiring sustaining engineers in San Francisco (right by South Park), dlanstein at my company's domain and I'll be happy to forward your resume on with an introduction. Ridiculously cool product, if you don't know about it.

Want to noticeably reduce the world's energy usage?

Austin-based Green Revolution Cooling (my friend's startup) is looking for a software engineer. They have created a very efficient cooling system for data centers. The startup has two mechanical engineers that have built a prototype that is getting awesome results. You'd be the main software person. http://grcooling.com/ Feel free to email me at drew@overt.org or christiaan.best@grcooling.com

Orbis Technologies is hiring Natural Language Processing engineers and knowledge/semantic engineers in Annapolis, MD. and Central Florida. Really interesting work! http://orbistechnologies.com/careers.html

Do NLP engineers include computational linguists, or do you prefer to have people who can really code and train them up? (Not on my own account, asking to find more and better search terms for when/if someone I know has to go jobhunting after their contract runs out.)

To my mind, NLP engineer and computational linguist are synonymous terms. Code'em, Train'em, tweak'em, hand-tune'em: the more of that one can do, the more value one can provide us.

Bored with building things? Want to learn how to rip them apart? Haven't gotten enough of me yet? Matasano is hiring app security people in NYC and Chicago. Knowing app security is great, but being an excellent developer is even better. My contact info's in my profile.

I don't plan on applying but I'm curious as to why you would hire a great developer without security experience over someone who knows app security.

Is it because you offer a lot of training or simply because you figure he'll pick up what he needs fairly quickly and eventually surpass the app security expert? Or is there a different reason?

I asked a similar question to Zed Shaw at CUSEC last year. Something along the lines what do you think about Joel Spolsky saying you should only hire the very best. He said he prefers someone who's willing and able to learn because he'll just teach them and they'll become a very valuable person.

Okay, copy and paste from previous threads:

We're hiring here at Cloudera.

We're especially interested in web developers who have built and deployed large, extensible applications into production environments. An interest in data visualization and analysis doesn't hurt. We also have some deep distributed storage system hacking problems.

We have a strong preference for open source experience: our team (see http://cloudera.com/about) includes core contributors from the Berkeley DB, Ganglia, Lucene/Nutch, Hadoop, and MooTools projects.

We expect you to communicate ideas clearly, exhibit preternatural intellectual curiosity across a variety of domains, write quality code, and have a consistent focus on improving yourself and the team around you.

If you're interested, drop your CV and a cover letter to jobs@cloudera.com.
