Rockefeller Center NYC, onsite: #1 looking for #2

Bootstrapped prop ultra low latency trading firm (as opposed to a firm which originally had investors and later kicked them out), and I'm willing to cut significant equity. see http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2835656 for some discussion of what I do.

I'm not a traditional finance guy, and I'm definitely not looking for a banking drone. Most of those tasks are handled by cron anyway. Sanctity of weekends are preserved.

the ideal candidate: mastery, to the level of obsession, with C/Python/coreutils; insatiable curiosity; inquisitive to a fault; chutzpah to challenge every assumption and assertion; calm under pressure; and desire to be involved in every aspect of the business.

Windonauts need not apply.

Excited? intransigence123@gmail.com

Anyone hiring in Toronto? (I see one, but there was another thread a couple of days ago where it was suggested that companies are having trouble finding people in Toronto... so I would expect more postings here if that were the case.)

I like to keep an eye out for startups that are hiring for future reference (I'm graduating in 1 more year). Here is a few Toronto startups that I can think of off the top of my head which are hiring:

Mumbai, India. Crumbs is hiring JavaScript & Mobile developer for a communication platform for business & consumers we are building. http://crumbin.com/Join-our-team

What's the youngest applicants are allowed to be? I'm 14, do I qualify? I've applied without a resume (because I don't have one), but would you guys actually consider a 14 year old?

Its more about what you can do with your talent, age is not a major issue. All though we are looking for a full time commitment to justify for what we are building.

I will connect with you shortly :)

San Francisco, CA - Yammer Yammer is an awesome tech startup masquerading as an enterprise software vendor. We're building an enterprise social network (an internal communication and collaboration tool. Like Facebook.) and we need your help. We build our product with insight and wisdom gained from the consumer social networking space, but we charge enterprise prices (and our customers pay them!) We're fighting some b…

No, half of the team has only English as a common language. However, it must be reasonably easy to get a work permit for Germany. Judging by your username, this could be an issue, but contact us nevertheless and we'll see what's possible.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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?

Relax. Surely Peroni has demonstrated sufficient value to the HN community to allow him to post in a "Who's hiring" thread without people getting on their critical high horse. Would you rather he sat on his hands if he has the perfect job for people here? I for one will be taking him up on his offer...if you have ever dealt with tech recruiters you will appreciate the service he is offering.

I agree with all that generally (and nothing at all against Peroni, or working with a recruiter at all, etc).

I still think it's best if he leaves this thread to direct company postings, though, and finds other ways to let interested HNers to work with him.

The ideal "Who's Hiring" page will have lots of postings, and every post will be as close to "ideal" as possible.

I define an ideal post in this context as one that links to the company involved, is posted by a current technical employee of that company (or a founder), and does a good job describing what they're looking for.

If I'd like to focus more on Ruby, for example, I can search the page for all of the Ruby posts, open all the links, and see what company is doing something of interest to me, and which poster has a tone that appeals to me.

A recruiter post can't possible be an ideal post like this, no matter who the recruiter is, and how good they are.
