Ask HN: Who Is Hiring Remote Workers? (First Edition, November 2010)

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.

Great Ask HN idea ... I'll definitely be keeping my eyes on this section. Anyone for a tech writer experienced at writing detailed how-to articles and general blog posts?

Intridea is always interested in talking to smart people who want to work remotely. We do web dev (mostly Rails) and mobile development (pretty much all major platforms). E-mail me directly for more info.

Having used SpiderOak for the past few months, I would like to express my interest in working with you guys. Your technologies are exactly my field of expertise, so, email me (my email is in my profile, I can't find yours, sadly)?
