I'm not really looking for a job currently, but I'm interested in who would find someone with my skill set useful: Ph.D. in astrophysics, 15yr research experience, lots of coding in C++ and Python (mostly numerical, Monte Carlo, parallel computation, radiation transfer stuff). In general a pretty all-round kind of guy. If an opportunity came along, I would be interested in something where I could use my knowledge of…

We've started a company to make an energy storage system using compressed air that's 10x cheaper and 10x longer lasting than traditional batteries, while being as efficient.

We don't need someone with the skillset immediately, but we would have. Have you considered greentech?

Resumé criticism/suggestions would be cool.

I live in Santa Cruz, California and won't be able to move for a year (I'm a student) but I can telecommute. I'm also willing to work below market prices (being a student and all).

I have no concept of what my skill level is when it comes to programming or system administration. Shoot me an e-mail and ask me some questions to determine that for yourself.

I don't need a job, but if someone knows of a job where I can work from outside of Melbourne, Australia 3 months of the year, and the rest of the year in the USA, please post your hints here...

If the part in the US can be in either SF or DC, then I'd wager my current place (opower.com) could make that work.

chris at opower dot com if you're interested in details.

I'm looking for a job in Canada (vancouver or toronto preferably) that would sponsor me as 'arranged employment'. I'm pretty great with C++ (4+ years), Lua. My focus has always been on gamedev, 3D rendering.

I've also done professional webdev work with RoR, my Ruby is not ultra idiomatic so I wouldn't say I'm excellent at it, but I can get the job done. Also know my way around Javascript, though I'm really rusty.

I'm from Brazil and living here currently but I want to relocate and have taken all the necessary steps :)

I'm semi-looking. Based in Annapolis, MD. Not willing to relocate. Currently entering my last year of a JD/MBA program. Prior to grad school, wrote code professionally for 7+ years, mostly in startup orgs of one shape or another (some that were pre-launch, others that were post-IPO). These days, prefer Rails, but looking forward to Perl 6. I don't have anything in particular in mind, I'm just curious to see who/what…

We're hiring rubyists somewhat nearby at the Democratic National Committee in Washington, DC. techresume@dnc.org

I am a full-time graduate student looking for a part-time job in the Phoenix, AZ, area (or telecommute). I'm skilled and experienced in web development, particularly with PHP and JavaScript. I also know Python and C. I also have some experience with Android development. I'd like to pay my rent, of course, but I'd also be thrilled to work on a fascinating product or learn something new.

My email is thinkago at gmail.

math/cs double, emphasis topology, knot theory, geometry, some analysis and dynamics, also systems (mostly unix) esp. disk data structures and kernel dev, functional programming, security

currently seattle at MS, stony brook university come fall, graduating feb or may

possible relocations: seattle, san fran, NYC, philly, austin, boston. anywhere in europe would be fantastic, I speak french so paris/montpellier would be great, or anywhere they speak enough english for me to get by (stockholm, copenhagen, london, maybe berlin)

serious inquiries for people solving serious problems only, no web stuff unless your backend requirements are crazy, also, expect me to wander away to grad school in a couple of years, I already have some good looking offers so don't get your hopes up

my username point walsh at symbol and then the popular webmail provider most of you probably have that starts with 'g', .com

also my username, no dot or space or hyphen, followed by walsh and .com, though it's pretty sparse these days and my resume is out of date

you can also email me if you just want to chat, I'm friendly :)
