Not at this point: we're not focussing on the design of materials, but their application. We are, however, interested in tribologists and other seal experts.

Children's Progress, a small New York City based data-driven-education company, is hiring. http://www.childrensprogress.com/about-us/softwareengineer.s...

Not to nitpick, but the job description lists "expert knowledge" for 12 different technologies. Seriously?

FreshBooks is hiring a ton of people right now. Some that are not even on the hiring page. I can attest that it is a very awesome place to work. http://www.freshbooks.com/careers/ (tell 'em in the email that you found out about the opportunity from Hacker News, the founder loves ycombinator)

Freshbooks is awesome. I started using it about 6 months ago and it reminds me of 37signals products in the sense that just using it you get the idea that it would be a good place to work. Do you know if they are hiring developers?

Oh yeah, we are always looking for developers. Especially smart ones.

Another cool thing about being a developer/designer at FB is that they encourage side projects. Proof? http://www.guestlistapp.com/about/ http://www.freshbooks.com/our-team.php

And here is head of dev tweeting about them: http://twitter.com/barsoomcore/statuses/3224450516

Here is VP of Marketing tweeting about them: http://twitter.com/MitchSolway/statuses/3210081160

Our very own "Queen of Hearts" (social media++ girl): http://twitter.com/rlangdon/statuses/3178658450

They totally understand that if you are going to get great developers you should expect that they will have side projects. Side projects hone skills and expand horizons.

Academia.edu is hiring:

Academia.edu helps academics answer the question ‘who’s researching what?’ We have a very engineer-driven culture, and we are looking for an ambitious and product-obsessed software engineer to join the founding team. We describe more of the qualities we are looking for on http://www.academia.edu/jobs

Super Rewards is hiring in the SF area. We monetize social gaming through virtual currency. It's an amazing experience to see this market from the inside.

We're very profitable and growing like crazy. In fact, we were recently acquired by Adknowledge: http://bit.ly/yNr0h. The bulk of our work is PHP, though you're free to work in your own language when not developing in the MVC stack. I do a lot of Ruby hacking personally.

Being a board gamer is a plus. We like to game in our downtime!

E-mail me if interested: joshuaxls@gmail.com

You may not know this, but it's worth asking: What are the Canadian immigration laws like regarding non-Canadian citizens coming to work there?
