Posterous is hiring Rails engineers in San Francisco. We're a super small team (6 full time engineers) and have big challenges to be tackled ahead. Also, we're about to get new offices in the Mission right at 16th and Mission!

You guys are doing everything right. Keep it up.

(If I had more rails experience (working on it!) and lived in San Francisco (My dream!) I'd totally look this up.)

Mozilla is hiring! Hard core C++, webdev, IT, QA, marketing, internships, you name it. http://www.jobvite.com/CompanyJobs/Jobs.aspx?c=qpX9Vfwa HQ in downtown Mountain View, CA, but we have offices in Toronto, New Zealand, Paris, Tokyo and Beijing. Great benefits, extremely challenging projects (scaling web services to 350+ million users, optimizing our JS engine, making Firefox mobile fast on phones). We're even gett…

My wife bought me a Firefox laptop bag a few years ago. I've had some people mistake me for a Firefox developer and thank me for my work, so I have to correct their mistake and explain it's just my way of supporting their favorite browser too. After all that it's always been a dream of mine to work on Firefox, but I've always felt too busy and intimidated by the size of the project to contribute on my own.

Perhaps this is my chance to finally earn the ability to say, "thank you," to those people on the train.

I'd just like to post a friendly reminder before this thread fills up with a lot of posts. Please post your location, or if the job(s) in question can be done remotely, specify so - it makes things much easier.

Where is the app around this post? I've always thought it would be interesting to have some social network way to know about jobs via friends and previous co-workers. LinkedIn has never really done much for me and it seems you have to be more proactive there.

Check out CareerElement.com; we will be bringing all kinds of new innovation to the job space. We will be launching in April.

We are an angel funded Stanford/Google startup.

And we are hiring: http://www.careerelement.com/index/software

Location: Palo Alto, CA

Earlier quoted context omitted.

When applying to Google, can you apply to specific teams, or do you get placed where they think you would be the best fit?

I've just been hired, and haven't yet been placed with a team. I believe that's typical.

Congratulations on your new position. Could you give any insight on the interview process?

I'll just add that we (LinkedIn) are a JVM shop. Amongst our weaponry are: java, scala, other intriguing languages, hadoop, voldemort, OS X dev boxes (with scads of memory), lots of perks and fun projects. We also have many open source projects to work on: http://sna-projects.com We are located in Mountain View, nestled in amongst the sprawling Google surroundings.

LinkedIn is a great place for web developers (front-end) as well. In 7 years our team has only lost one due to chrun, the rest all still work here. Feel free to reach out if you are interested. http://www.linkedin.com/in/scott

I know a good Python hacker in Raleigh, NC. Healthcare is big here. What about remote?

Sorry, locals or willing to move only for these positions. We do have a remote employee, but I wouldn't want to do it unless the dev started off local

Could be wrong, but don't think anyone at Innova is involved with Cohpy. We contribute at OWASP (both corporate and time), and have been a big supporter of PHPMeetup in the past.

We'll give Cohpy a look.

HiiDef, Inc is based on the US East Coast. All work is done remotely. Our listings are available at - http://jobs.hiidef.com/

We recently launched a product - http://flavors.me/ - and we're looking for talented Python developers.

HiiDef is a consumer web incubator - this means we work on several products simultaneously. We're a distributed team of ten who value independence and communication. It's my job to make sure everyone has the tools and resources they need, but otherwise how and when they choose to work is up to them. We put a strong emphasis on balance and believe an environment based on trust and mutual respect is the best way to build a company.

Flavors.me is profitable on a day-to-day operating basis, and the company has an initial round of funding.

You can email me at johnwehr@hiidef.com if you'd like to hear more.
