You don't happen to need a part-time (2-3 days a week) designer/front-end developer as well do you?

If your front-end dev work includes JS experience and you're interested in/passionate about math, our part-time contributors are currently focused on building out our JS-powered library of math practice exercises, and we would love help.

Sounds exciting. What kind of work would the dev be doing?

Building everything from an educational badging system (http://bjk5.com/post/2426884194/khan-academy-now-has-badges) to an improved practice UI based on student behavior (http://bjk5.com/post/2071068737/khan-academy-in-the-classroo...) to better individual student analytics (http://bjk5.com/post/2783333652/students-need-better-self-as...) to basic UX improvements all over the place.

(Sorry for self-promotional-looking links...they're legit sources of information for this question.)

San Francisco — stealthy startup in SF hiring seasoned Ruby/Rails developers. Telecommuting is okay some of the time, but you must be able to come into our SoMa office regularly. We pay market salaries and give nice chunks of equity despite being well funded.

What are some of the perks? Well, we're spending this week in the Dominican Republic coding on the beach. Come join us on our next work trip! Contact the address in my profile.

Boston, MA; not remote. Ember has a couple of openings for firmware/embedded and manufacturing engineers: http://www.ember.com/company_careers.html We make low power wireless chips and the software that makes them useful. Ember is a fantastic place to work, email me directly at emberFeb2011@saidsvec.com if you're interested.

These guys have a _fantastic_ office space in Boston -- it's right next to the Flour Bakery in Fort Point Channel (near the Children's museum). I mean, I've never been inside their offices, but every time I go to Flour I have to walk by them.
