San Francisco. New York. Chicago.

Matasano.

Job title: Bearer of Bad Tidings.

Downside first: not getting to build something that people want. In fact, having to build things that people explicitly don't want. And having to do it with me. Ask other HN'ers I've hired if I'm kidding about that last sentence.

But, oh, the upside: Runtimes. Linkers. Kernel code. WinAPI, POSIX, Mach. Messaging systems. iPhone apps. Chipsets. Ajax. Javascript parsers. C. FFIs to C in your favorite language. Ruby. Scala. Lisp. Encryption. Electronic markets. Firmware. Reverse engineering. Middleware. Crawling around in the ventilation ducts of the world's most popular and important applications.

Are you an HN regular? You can't possibly waste my time with questions. We love smart people who can code who want to learn software security.

Contact info's in my profile.

Palo Alto, CA

Mingle Media is a well funded startup currently looking for backend python/django developers and a strong frontend developer. We're building a vertical ad network on top of some web properties, the first of which is mingle.com.

The team is currently < 10 people, so you'd have a huge impact on what we're building and shaping the early culture of the company. It's also a great place to learn from successful entrepreneurs and play with interesting new technology (Cassandra, gevent, tornado, etc). I'm a developer there, drop me a line at dave@mingle.com if you have questions and I can forward your info upstream.

San Francisco, CA

Square (https://squareup.com/jobs)

We're hiring for server engineering (ruby and javascript), site operations (unix, puppet and building out our datacenter), design (visual and ux) and support folks.

I'm on the server team, so I'll talk about that position. We're doing agile in a pretty serious way and using it to solve really interesting financial problems. We pair program almost 100% of the time, TDD always, and use Pivotal Tracker to schedule our iterations. We're using Rails, Resque, Cucumber, Rspec and Jasmine. The server team is tight knit and really a lot of fun.

We're looking for pragmatic software engineers to join us. Preferably people with Ruby experience. You must be excited about TDD and pairing. The mohawk thing on the job site is totally optional.
