Think Computer Corporation, Palo Alto, CA Our product makes the plastic cards in your wallet obsolete. (We're taking on PayPal and a few others: Visa, MasterCard, American Express, etc.) We're always looking for PHP, JavaScript and CSS pros. Remote is possible if you really know your stuff and have a portfolio of work to show for it. http://www.facecash.com / http://www.thinkcomputer.com/corporate/jobs

I've always had a great interest in something similar to facecash ... I'll keep an eye on your site, if my company makes an exit I may well apply. seems promising

I'm not hiring, but people have founds posts about my site helpful in previous threads. I run One Day, One Job: http://www.onedayonejob.com/ The focus is on entry level jobs, but the content consists of company profiles, so it's useful to pretty much anyone looking for a job at at any level. Here are all of the companies that we've featured with positions in Web Development: http://www.onedayonejob.com/entry-level-jo…

To those downvoting, please specify why. Personally, I can see that parent post shouldn't be here, but a suggestion on where to post it would be helpful so that others don't repeat the same mistake.

Thanks for posting this. In the Summer Jobs thread, a similar post of mine received quite a few upvotes. I figured that people looking for jobs found it helpful, so I was inclined to try it again.

SB Nation is a media/technology startup in Washington, DC. We're hiring Ruby developers and an agile project manager:

http://www.sbnation.com/jobs/developer (remote considered)

http://www.sbnation.com/jobs/agile_project_manager (local only)

We're a network of 280+ sports news sites & communities. As newspapers are shutting down their sports sections, we're quietly reinventing the media model with profitable, high-quality, innovative coverage by and for fans. Our investors include Accel Partners, Allen & Company, and Comcast Interactive Capital. We get around 16 million unique visitors every month.

Our small product team develops the custom publishing and community platform (built on Rails) that powers the sites. The interesting problems we face range from editorial analytics, to social distribution, to scaling the system to handle our rapid growth.

Here are some of the humans you'll be working with: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mlovitt/4507489423/in/set-72157...

And some recent press:

Americas and Europe (remote): SpiderOak is looking for help in engineering, marketing, and customer service.

Since 2006, SpiderOak provides an easy, consolidated free online backup, sync, sharing, access & storage solution for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux with a zero-knowledge approach to customer privacy. We use Python, Django, web.py, WSGI, jQuery, PostgreSQL, nginx, and varnish, with some occasional heavy-lifting help from C and Erlang.

SpiderOak is a distributed, virtual company - we all set our own work schedule and work from home, coffee shops, or anywhere that can provide a stable Internet connection. We coordinate via Wikis, IRC, email, telepathy, and even face-to-face when possible. We don't bother with time sheets or other types of wage accounting -- we're a tight enough group that it would be obvious if someone wasn't doing her or his job.

We've noticed that some of the most accomplished people we know don't necessarily have polished or extensive resumes. As such, we don't care about formal education, age, gender, geographic location, resume, etc. We like smart people who love what they do and do it really well. Period.

The rest of the story is here: https://spideroak.com/blog/20101030125548-spideroak-is-growi...

I think this thread should focus only on actual job posts. There are thousands of job websites and tools out there, it's not the purpose of this thread.
