Developer for a small financial software startup in Boston. BTW... We are hiring and are having a real hard time finding good developers. Shoot me your resume if interested.

Are these just coding jobs, or are you also looking for people with mathematical finance backgrounds?

Just development positions at the moment.

Delicious. Or Amazon, if you go back further.

Is there any detailed information on what Bezos did for Shaw? I had always assumed he was a developer or similar there, too.

Dev at a large company for the next week, then I'm off to see the wizard. It's going to be a hard transition, trading very cool projects for independence.

I just stopped working on my latest startup in the past two years (unfortunately for me, Microsoft announced they were going to do something very similar and it was enough to scare off my few investors).

I ended up signing on full time with my favorite consulting client as a practicing software architect for them. I get to solve problems with big data and drive the direction for all of their IT ops. It's fun, and I figure it'll do until the next big idea hits me.
