Earlier quoted context omitted.

As much as I'd like to mention my own/better solution, this isn't the venue for job boards to say "come to my site." We spam enough sites with our links as it is. "Ask HN: Who is Hiring" is for actual job posts. Plain and simple.

It all depends on whether it's a job board that hackers will find useful and not something like Monster.com. If it's sufficiently relevant and useful to thread readers, it should be posted. Don't be pedantic, don't make up rules.

Pedantic might be a little harsh, but I see your point.

You have no idea how spammy job board people (yes, I'm part of this crowd) can get when they find a new field to peddle their wares. We're just shameless. And if there's isn't some throttle/downvoting, these threads will become 90% "check out my job board" and 10% real jobs.

London (UK) and Boston (US). H1B

We're a 100-person financial-software firm committed to learning and improvement as well as great web software and agile development. Some of you may know us from our sponsorship of Hacker News meetups in London. We're hiring developers and other smart folks of many kinds. See https://dev.youdevise.com and http://www.youdevise.com/careers.

While we don't have remote workers, we do help successful candidates relocate to London or Boston including arranging visas where needed. For example, last year we hired HN readers from Denmark and the US, and we moved a Polish employee to Boston.

Working through newspapers, we make the web less scary for small businesses.

London, UK Firstly, I am a recruiter but I'm one of the honest few, have a look at previous submissions for any doubts. The following are permanent positions in London that I am recruiting for. Mention HN when you contact me & I'll happily disclose the company details once I confirm you're not another recruiter! * Ruby Developers (Back-end mainly) * Magento Developer * Python Developers * ColdFusion Developer (West L…

What part of this post + you saying, on your very own website, "I have not, nor ever will attempt to solicit business on Hacker News," is honest?

Hey guys, I'm just about to finish up my term with Videojuicer (after several years!), and they're looking to hire someone to replace (and extend) my skill set.

The tl;dr is that they're looking for someone who fits these qualities:

* Lives in London or Brighton (UK), and is happy working remotely

* Cares about software craftsmanship (test first TDD, agile development & some pairing)

* Cares about open standards and open source software

* Solid dev skills in actionscript3 (bonus points for exp w/ video)

* Solid dev skills on the JVM (bonus points for Scala)

* Happy building in at least one modern interpreted language (Ruby, Python, Javascript)

------------------------------------------

The full deal is that Videojuicer is a London based technology and media company.

We've got a close knit team of devs and all around good guys who have built a unique video experience platform. We've got a commitment to open web standards, and have even gone to the extent of making our (unfortunately flash-based) video player programmable using Javascript and styleable with CSS3.

Much of our player is open sourced and you can find it on our github page (see: https://github.com/videojuicer/smilkit-as3 and https://github.com/videojuicer/stylekit-as3 in particular).

The cool part about our full stack video serving platform is that we've focused on minimalist ReSTful component design, which has given us the flexibility and power to be able to experiment and build new visual experiences.

Our video player in particular is a cool piece of tech and in conjunction w/ our platform lets users build custom interactive experiences w/in the player (again w/ JS & CSS3), and deploy them selectively attached to relevant videos.

You can ping jobs@videojuicer.com, or hit up Ted Han (http://twitter.com/knowtheory ) or Dan Glegg (http://twitter.com/angryamoeba ) for more info. Our email addresses are also our first names at videojuicer.com.

Also, feel free to ask me anything 'bout the job here if you have questions :)
