Ask HN: Who is Hiring? (October 2011)

Cambridge and Brighton (UK) - Aptivate

We are a not-for-profit organisation who are passionate about using technology for social good. We build websites and tools to support organisations in the international development sector, and we are looking for smart software developers to join our team (particularly in Python/Django).

As well as writing code, we often work on the ground in developing countries on projects ranging from delivering technical training, to building and deploying resilient hardware systems for power and communications. Each team member has a voice in the strategy and policy of the organisation.

Quebeq, Canada. Full-time.

Gush - http://getgush.com We are hiring a bunch of people. We use Scala and Play, and are building a large-scale consumer photo service. We launched last week in private beta.

Looking specifically for you if you can do ops like crazy (AWS in your dreams), if you're great at Scala, if you're awesome at CSS + design, or any combination. Also looking for a native Windows developer, and iOS/mobile experience is also always welcome.

Get it touch at jobs@gushhq.com. Show us what you've done.

Parent's idea plus this would be nice. At least make it a pinned thread through the first day of the week.

Software Architects/ Developers needed Colorado / Remote

I'm working on a promising idea for TechStars Cloud (http://www.techstars.com/cloud/). I'm designing a product around OpenStack technology that will bring cloud storage to the average business. I'm looking for one or two developers with strong experience building back-end services to join me as co-founders for this venture. During the TechStars application process, this position is unpaid. We're working on this project in the evenings, after our full-time jobs. It's a gamble, I know. On the other hand, I think that we have a strong idea and if you join me now, we will be dividing our ownership of this venture equally amongst the three or four of us.

For now, this product is being worked on remotely. If selected for TechStars Cloud, we may continue to work remotely or we may converge in San Antonio, TX for the TechStars incubation stage. Obviously, you must be able to work legally in the US. No H1B sponsorship available.

About me: I have 18 years of experience as an engineer in the Internet industry. I've spent the last four years working with cloud computing for a major hosting provider. This idea is the genesis of daily conversations that I have with customers. It's a product that I think business is screaming for but nobody has perfected yet--and I think I know how to perfect it.

If you think you have the chops to take on a project like this, send me your resume and some links to projects that you've worked on, preferably on GitHub or the like so that I can review your contributions.
