Our company, YCEO (a pseudo startup doing local ecommerce solutions), is hiring Python hackers. We're located in Kadikoy/Istanbul. Contact: u.karatas@yceo.com.tr

Awesome to see my city represented by others on HN. Just out of curiosity, what sort of gig do you guys do? Custom tailored solutions for clients etc?

Washington DC - Java hackers and general mgt jobs http://www.opower.com/Careers/CurrentOpportunities.aspx

This is from a friend of mine: I recently changed jobs to a software company with a focus on utilities - OPOWER - and we're growing rapidly. I was employee 75 and we're projected to have over 150 by the end of the year. As software is our product, we need the best and smartest engineers and developers we can find. It's a very cool, casual atmosphere and a great place to work but being on the east coast, it's very hard to find the level of talent that we need.

On the off chance that you know anybody that would be willing to move to DC, please, please let them know that we're hiring. Beyond the fact that DC is, in fact, a great town to live in, it's a great company with wonderful benefits and new candidates receive options in a growing company. I know it's a long shot, but I figured it's at least a good excuse to get in touch. Seriously, we need the best people we can get, and fast.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Before I moved back to the US, I was working at youDevise in London, and it was great. Financial services startup. Awesome people. http://www.youdevise.com/careers

Would you mind saying a bit more? They're showing up at my uni. in a couple weeks, would be interested in knowing a bit about them. Specifically, are there opportunities to deploy my elite computational statistics-fu? ;)

Depends on what the fu is. We are very interested in computational finance e.g. backtesting, measuring alpha, beta, gamma. Best way to find out more about us in general is to read our blog https://dev.youdevise.com.

Interesting, a few people have mentioned this place to me recently. I shall investigate.

Glad we are getting known, I hope for good things like being committed to learning (dojos, lightning talks) and using non-dogmatic agile practises (serious continuous-integration farm, pairing effectively, self-organising teams). Would be very happy to talk with you if you write to the address on the careers page linked to in the parent.

Dropbox ( http://www.dropbox.com/ ) is looking for an engineer to help with our backend architecture and scalability. Lots of nasty, difficult challenges interfacing with millions of software clients and keeping a multi-petabyte filesystem running. We're located in downtown SF. Needs to be proficient in C, Python, MySQL. Needs to be able to pick up new systems quickly. Great GPA from a top 5 CS school a plus. If this…

Have you found that being a graduate from a top 5 CS school is a good indicator of being a good performer? I know that the early Dropbox team was almost entirely MIT grads, but at the same time, I know a lot of GREAT programmers who haven't come from top 5 programs.

He said a plus, I take that as a great filtering mechanism.

SSi Micro is hiring great hackers. Know C pretty well, be great at one high-level language (Python, PHP, whatever), be a quick learner (and we mean quick), and then come and be a propellerhead at our awesome, small company. www.ssimicro.com/jobs We're a little company based in Yellowknife, the capital city of the Northwest Territories. We deliver broadband satellite internet to 61 of the most remote communities on ea…

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?

Wow, I'm surprised street view has such a remote location. That begs the question where is the most remote street view location.

Building things that people want is overrated. A person can derive great pleasure and satisfaction from ripping things apart instead. That's the gig we're offering. We work with some of the most interesting companies, along with lots of companies with interesting technology you've never heard of. This job has had me write compilers, learn Scala, reverse and interoperate with freaky network protocols, test chipsets, w…

I swore off that sh-t ten years ago. I just got too worried about lawsuits, hit men (some toughs show up and you've got 30 seconds to decide how badly you want to mess them up to minimize your risk of future problems), wondering which people on the mailing lists and IRC channels I was on were spooks... and then there was the time that I got the FBI to investigate Japan's #1 superheroine. I decided it was much better…

Were you on IRC anonymously?
