#142I really wish we could figure out a way to stop posting these on Saturday, which guarantees the hiring thread won't be on the front page on a weekday.
On the other hand, job-seekers who have been here for longer than a few months probably remember the hiring threads always happen on the 1st. I think that's easier to remember than "1st of the month, unless that falls on a weekend, then it's the 1st business day following the 1st of the month"; which tends to get further conflated to include holidays.
I agree, much easier. I also always include the hiring threads in my weekly Hacker Newsletter (http://www.hackernewsletter.com) in case someone does miss it when it comes out.

#144Really REMOTE. You don't even have to be in the USA. deviantART ( http://www.deviantart.com ) wants developers. We're fully remote[1]; there's no central office with a devteam located there. We expect all hires to be comfortable working in PHP, JavaScript, CSS, and SQL; we like our developers to be able to hack on any part of the site, rather than being frontend/backend specialists. One exception to all that: there's…
Note: I've applied to this opportunity before. Did not receive a response. Funny to see it posted again... Maybe they are looking for something different than "PHP, JavaScript, CSS, and SQL"? Hard to say...
Yeah, I've applied there to without any sort of response. My impression was that they either are looking for something more specific than they let on here, or that they have a high turn over rate. Not necessarily bad things, but they might narrow down their employee search by providing more details

#145Atlanta, GA - Vitrue (http://vitrue.com)
We're looking for solid developers, and we have a ton of openings.
We're a social media marketing company building a platform for corporate clients to manage their presences on Facebook/Twitter and the like. We're primarily a Rails shop. Having said that, we do have projects in other languages, and we frequently hire people with no Rails experience and bring them up to speed on the job.
Stuff we use: Ruby, Rails, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Node.js, jQuery, Backbone.js, AWS/Scalr/Engine Yard, and plenty more.
For open positions and a better idea of what we do, take a look at our job page: http://vitrue.com/jobs . Not every open position is posted, though, so even if you're not a fan of building customer-facing apps, we might have a place for you.
Feel free to either drop me a line or apply direct via the jobs page.

#146Rockefeller 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 hand…
This looks like a quite a example of arrogance. Remember the more egoistic you are , more you double your chances of failure. Just a advice , take on its face value.
I tried working with financial recruiters at the very beginning and realized that the type of candidates they present are really interested in a cushy job with a strong salary and significant returns on the upside and no downside risk, which puts my risk control desires at odds with their profit desires.
If I come off as arrogant I sincerely apologize. As a person, I am not particularly arrogant. With regards to some points, like about using cron to do tasks, there are good reasons for bringing that up: I have worked with a broker who literally opened and copied text files using notepad to send off compliance reports (which i had originally sent to them via FTPS). When I pointed out to the employee that a cron job or task scheduler item could automate the process, the answer was along the lines of "then I wouldn't have a job". And i would classify that type of role as a drone role.

#149Earlier quoted context omitted.
Are you hiring front-end engineers?
Note: This company usually does not respond to applicants. I applied for a few positions over the year and never heard back.
I applied to Twitter and the HR person asked me for dates for phone interviews, and then didn't respond for weeks after I gave them the dates. Twitter HR and their recruitment process is amongst the worst I've ever encountered.
Also, if you get rejected by them, they don't have the common courtesy to let you know, even if you try contacting them. Apparently it's beneath them to respond with even 140 characters.
