The Nerdery (Minneapolis - HQ, Chicago - satellite office). http://www.nerdery.com/jobs

Hi HN. We're not a product/platform company, and aren't in SV, but we do have one hell of a culture, myriad projects, and an unending pipeline of new work. To support that growth, we're planning on adding an additional 100 people during 2011. If you're interested, have questions, or send in a resume, please let me know. I want to make sure anyone coming from HN stands out in our application pool. matt.albiniak at nerdery d0t com

Most common thing heard around The Nerdery - "I learned more here in 3 months than I've learned anywhere else." Dog friendly, caffeine provided, developer owned and operated.

We have immediate openings for:

* Front End Dev - JS knowledge required, jQuery experience preferred.

* C# ASP.NET Developer - ASP.NET MVC preferred

* PHP Developer - Zend

* Actionscript Developer - AS3

* IA/UX Designer - previous FED experience

* Software Project Manager - you make juggling look easy

* IT Systems Technician - we're tech-centric. Not so much "can you install this" as much as "need ____ provisioned."

* iOS Developer - please hurry.

* ExpressionEngine Developer - see above.

Oh, and if you're not a great developer but understand tech (like me), we're hiring in sales, too.

Ottawa, ON - Shopify http://www.shopify.com/careers We're hiring for a ton of positions including Developer Advocate and Software Engineer (Core, Data, QA, Tools, UI). We have a great work environment, love open source, and are profitable and growing really fast (fastest in Ottawa, in fact).

I sent you guys a resume once upon a time and all I got was a form-letter. Was pretty excited about your company.

I'm curious as to how helpful these threads have been to both seekers and employers. Has anyone found a job through one of these threads? Do employers get meaningful applications?

These threads are one of our top 2 most effective hiring vectors; we've hired many people off HN, and the candidates we get from HN are the best candidates we get from any source. The caliber of people we've been able to hire from HN is one of the primary reasons I spend time here.

Your posts here are consistently useful and informative. The HN community is definitely better for your presence. I'm glad you are getting something in return, while at the same time providing jobs to HN readers.

Pretty meaningless to me. I responded to a few awhile back and all I got were form letters.

I landed an internship earlier (and a job eventually) from one of these threads.

SpaceX, Los Angeles. Working remotely is not an option for new-hires. In December we became the first private organization to put a spacecraft into orbit and return it safely (highlights: http://spacex.com/multimedia/videos.php?id=57 ). The other entities who've done this are all governments or governmental collaborations. SpaceX is continuing our expansion. Want to write code that lives on the International Space St…

I'm 34 and recently engaged, but I would seriously move there and work for free if you would let me (and had a couch for me to sleep on). I am a US citizen but unfortunately my fiancee isn't on board.

Keep doing awesome things guys/girls.

I second tptacek. This is one of the most effective places we have found candidates - we just hired our 3rd person from HN. Every candidate that has approached us through HN has been thoughtful and intelligent - although obviously not everyone is a match for what we are working on. Certainly I can offer anyone from here a actual person to talk to about your background and interests and what we are working on.
