We're building a platform to connect individual investors to professional money managers (like a personalized mutual fund, without the massive fees). We're very focused on high quality code, tests, continuous deployment and more tests. We use JVM languages (Java, Scala, JRuby) and have a fantastic platform.

Right now we're specifically looking for someone with a strong engineering background to join the front end team. Check out our blog to get a feel for the company. http://eng.kaching.com/

BioWare Austin is still hiring web/PHP developers to help build the game/web integration for Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO. You need to be in Austin, TX, or willing to relocate yourself. Imagine 1-2 million players feeding game events real-time into your web site from day one. There won't be any "grow slowly, scale gracefully" here. We need to be big out of the gate. We've had something of a hard time finding peopl…

Wow, that would be an amazing job. If it were more solid than 1 year of contract work, I might even be willing to relocate for it. What are the chances a job like this turns into a permanent position, assuming I worked hard and did a great job?

40-60+ hour weeks for a year isn't solid? Even if you weren't brought on full-time, all the Drupal shops in Austin can't fill their demand, so I don't think you'd have a hard time finding a job afterward. We're not just one of the biggest (and certainly the most dynamic) Drupal sites; we're a huge site, period. You'd have a lot of really valuable experience.

The work is ongoing (it's an MMO, after all), and plenty of features are scheduled for post-launch, but legally we can't even dangle a maybe-possible carrot.

That said, I was brought on from a year design contract, and we have four openings we're trying to fill.
