C/C++/Java/Erlang/Haskell/Python Devs - Chicago, USA We're looking for smart people to help at an established high frequency trading shop. We have a few positions open, from latency critical stuff that must be done in C/C++/Haskell, to 'offline' data crunching which is more Java/Python/Erlang/etc. Plus a bunch of other stuff in everything in between. Frankly, our code is probably faster and deals with 'bigger' data t…

Are you hiring for any business, PM, etc. type positions?

Wikimedia Foundation, Senior Research Analysts, San Francisco

The organization behind Wikipedia is hiring a lot of people this year and the next. Here's the latest job posting:

We're looking for analysts in two different areas, Strategy and Global Development. Both of these positions start with quantitative analysis, but one is more focused on the websites and the other on fostering the global community. This is not just boring log analysis; we need people who are very independent and creative.

Meshcapital is hiring. We are in Jersey City, NJ, about 6 minutes from lower manhattan via path train. We are a 3 person hedge fund. We do high frequency trading, emphasizing market making and short term speculation in the long tail of equities markets. We are looking for good developers - no finance background is required. Instructions on where to send your resume are contained in our application (you'll need to dec…

I solved the problem, but before doing the real work of updating my CV -- could you please write a little bit about the job, to avoid wasting time for us both? :-)

(And I know, it is not really a waste to update your CV.)

Edit: For instance, are Europeans and other aliens a possibility?

Edit 2: Thanks. But I've probably forgotten too much math. :-( And you should get enough people anyway, sounds like a cool place.

NYC (Chelsea) - Chicago - SFBay

Matasano.

Job title: Scary Story Told To Young Software Developers By Their Parents To Get Them To Go To Bed On Time.

In one not-too-atypical week last year, our team attacked the messaging front end of a financial exchange, used a GNU Radio to decode an RF protocol used by a major utility (we later cheated and used JTAG to turn their own hardware into a modem), reverse engineered and defeated a secure remote login protocol, and game-overed a web app your mom has heard of.

What are we looking for? Here's my first interview question: what is your research project going to be for us? One of our team members built a web testing tool. A couple more got together and wrote a cross-platform debugger in Ruby. One of our team members finds vulnerabilities in Google Chrome in his spare time. A few of them are running a large scale software fuzzing farm to bring mass production techniques to bugfinding. Does this stuff interest you? We should talk.

Downsides: Not building things people want. In fact, building things people fear and loathe. Also, not being able to wear silver, eat garlic, or enter houses without express invitation.

Perks: Infinite free tech books, medical, 401k.

Testimonials:

If I were looking for a day job, I wouldn't be looking for a day job any more: they're friendly, happy people who get social license to join the Dark Side, do smart stuff all day, and then go home while it is still light out. - HN:patio11

Your Amazon policy is almost better than stock options and a 401k. I'd probably never willingly leave a company with that policy. - HN:SkyMarshall

For god's sake someone please get me out of here. - HN:wglb

us: The Online Privacy Company: http://www.abine.com - Cambridge MA, San Francisco

We're a small venture-backed team working on being the leaders for a big concept (online privacy), and we're looking for a passionate engineer to join us. Abine is "the online privacy company" and offers Firefox and Internet Explorer browser add-ons coupled with Web services to provide easy to use privacy features for a wide audience. There's lots to do: designing and building new parts of the Firefox and IE applications, working on our front-end XUL, javascript, JQUERY and AJAX stuff, squeezing a few more MS per page out of our REGEX / DOM parsing/processing. We don't like big specifications or heavy planning processes; instead, we work on small projects, ship code frequently, and write tests. We're built on Xul/Jquery, MySQL, Javascript.
