Boston, MA and remote

litl - http://litl.com

We build simple, maintenance-free, internet-focused computers. Our first product is called the webbook, and we're working on some follow-up ideas. Our software team has built a new, Linux-based user interface and a Google App Engine-based server.

Our main offices are in Boston and London, but we have many people around the world who work out of their homes. With all the remote employees -- including software team management -- people are expected to be self-motivating. Most meetings happen over video conference, and other are by phone. A couple of times a year most remote employees come to Boston.

We're looking for:

* QA engineers. In particular we're looking for people with some programming experience to improve our testing tools and automation.

* Software developers. We have a few areas in which we're looking for specialization, but the main thing we care about is that you're really good. Some things we're interested in:

    - X (core and input and video drivers)
    - Linux kernel
    - Linux desktop technologies (Clutter, GTK, window managers, etc.)
    - OpenGL
    - Google Chromium codebase
    - User-space audio/video stacks
    - Embedded and microcontroller developers
    - JavaScript runtimes
    - Software rasterization
You can email me at joe@.org for more info.

Can't help but feel like this might be a bad day for this thread. You would think people could set aside the jokes in an obviously serious thread such as this one. Unfortunately, as evidenced by some of the submissions already, this seems not to be the case. Ugh.

If somebody cannot distinguish real from fake jobs here then arguably the sort of jobs listed here will not really be aimed at them anyway...
