FratMusic, LLC - http://fratmusic.com/

The site has 100k visits a day (started ~August '09), and a considerable amount of financing. We're looking for somebody to lead the day-to-day development for a good amount of equity or pay (your call). A good understanding of what makes a "complete" and usable consumer product is critical. Also, the backend is python / django.

And obviously, if you like music too... we'd really love to have you!

Loggly (http://loggly.com/) is hiring in San Francisco. Full job descriptions will be up in about 2 weeks.

We're looking for one or two Solrish search developers who enjoy Hadoopiness, an AWS aware operations peep who yearns to develop more, a Python middleware API wrangler with Django chops, and one or two UI whizzers to do some cool jQuery based front-end work in a retro UX.

If you are interested (in the jobs), sign up for the beta at http://loggly.com/signup/, and then email us at jobs@loggly.com to get the access code.

We do.

We are starting to develop a large suite of applications for android. Thus, I am talking about a long term contract.

You can live anywhere you are, work is to be done remotely, paid on milestones basis.

We are looking for groovy hackers that are willing and able to hack on this system and develop the infrastructure, framework, API's (C, C++ and Java), and the applications (jQuery/HTML5/Canvas are the building blocks for the web apps).

Autodidact or Ph-d's are all treated the same.

We do not have a price list. You set yours, you get a chance (task assignment) to prove you worth it, passed, moving on, failed, too bad.

Wow, that's really remote. To drive there, you apparently have to take a fairly small ferry boat: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&#38... Looks like they're building a bridge, though. By "not as cold as you think", you mean that the spit hits the ground before it freezes?

Today it's a balmy 9 Celsius. Sure, the winter brings a couple weeks of -35 C and below, but with a solid parka and the same resolve we're looking for in our hackers, you can hack it. :) And that bridge... What a nightmare. It's been in the works for years, tens of millions over budget, and it's become a local joke. "Yea, we'll finish that once the bridge is finished." Also, you only have to take the ferry in the war…

Here in Padova, the flowers are blooming, everything is breaking out in green, it is 25C, and I went for a drink in the piazza with nothing but a short-sleeved shirt this evening. Yellowknife like a fascinating place, but one I'd rather read about or, at most, visit, rather than live in. Good luck though:-)

Thanks! For sure, the weather isn't for everyone. We /do/ get great summer weather (it'll be over 20C before the end of May), but it's a short season. Padova sounds gorgeous!

(Just a Manly-Man-o'-the-North note: I'm wearing shorts and a t-shirt today. We bust out the summer clothes at anything above 5C.) :)

Dropcam, http://www.dropcam.com/ in San Francisco. You should email me directly - greg@dropcam.com. We code for the cameras and the server-side, mostly Python/C -- and there are many terabytes of data to work with. We also have an iPhone app and will support more mobile platforms in the future. We're looking for generalist engineers who know C like the back of their hand but prefer to code in a higher level language…

Don't try to steal the mountain bike in the office entryway guys.

Well, if you tried it would push-notify my iPhone so I guess that's an additional way to get in touch ...

Scary as it is, engineers who graduated undergrad last year run our deployment system, video system, and more. You will get thrown in the deep end on production systems.
