Charlotte, VT EatingWell Media Group. www.eatingwell.com

No remote, sorry.

Seeking Developer / Sysadmin to maintain www.eatingwell.com and develop internal and external facing software.

Our flagship site is Drupal/PHP with most of our new tools rolling out in Python.

Compensation is competitive for the area, we are a dog friendly office, the test kitchen has a constant stream of goodies flowing out of it, and we are in beautiful, rural Vermont, just 30 or so minutes to Burlington, a very hip little city.

There is quite a bit of room for growth here as our side of the business is growing rapidly and there is not a lot of experience in tech in the higher ups in the company.

This is both good and bad, as I am constantly fighting against naive decisions/ideas from upper management, but good because I am often winning.

A smart, relaxed, outdoor loving hacker with some degree of people skills will be very very happy here.

Please add a 'g' to front of my user name and an 'f' to the end, @eatingwell.com

NYC (no remote) - Factor Tree (http://thefactortree.com)

We're a young startup creating an online education platform designed to build a solid foundation in math for kids from preK to 6th grade. We're working on some cool ways to provide every student with a tailored curriculum that adapts as the student progresses.

We're looking for someone who's comfortable in Java (or very similar language) and has a good foundation in web development. You'd be working closely with the lead (only) developer to iterate as fast as humanly possible to put our product in front of kids and parents.

If you're passionate about helping kids learn, send over a few links to things you've worked on (more important) and your resume (less important) to recruiting@thefactortree.com.

Exablox — Sunnyvale, CA (partial remote OK, must be available in-person ≥ 1day / week)

Exablox is a data storage company, replacing the traditional storage stack with an integrated experience across local and web storage.

Yup, we're hiring (yes this is redundant ;)

We're a founding team of 3: two systems software guys and a biz guy from an embedded mobile OS company (no, not that one).

Exablox is looking for 2-3 more engineers to fill the following roles (and are psyched if you can crossover between them)

Web folks: Both frontend and backend. You'll be responsible for designing and implementing our online app. This is a great opportunity to leverage your experience with the latest and greatest technologies to build a brand new type of storage app.

Systems folks: You must be well versed in systems software or application design and implementation in C (yes you read correctly!), filesystem experience a plus but not required. The ideal candidate is well versed in POSIX APIs, and isn't afraid to get their hands dirty inside the Linux kernel if necessary. This is the ideal opportunity to help craft the next gen storage stack

Various opportunities available: full time ($$+equity), contract ($$), and internship/co-op ($$)

I'm a little surprised at the number of "no remote" in this thread. I've done some great work remotely, and with the right tools I think a team can "gel" and really work well together. Any comments?

In my experience, remote work is offered to specific individuals who are already known to the people making the offer - through a shared work history, impressive open source contributions, a recommendation by a trusted…

Stop whining about not able to work remotely. If you can work remotely why don't you just go to India and work from there?

There should be a separate post for remote/freelance jobs. All the jobs posted here are in the US, and I'm sure there's plenty of talented foreigners lurking on HN.
