Hiring C++, algorithms, and systems junkies. We've hacked the kernel, JavaScript, and everything in between. We love computer science and systems hacking. We dislike fads and one trick pony programmers who've only learned one trick.
The software, hardware, and use cases have changed. Databases did not (and those that did are doing a bad job). Let's do a phenomenal job together!
Styloot is a search engine for fashion. Currently it's difficult for women to find the clothing they want online - it involves browsing many sites, it's unclear what to type into the search box, etc. We aim to make that process easy.
Currently we are 5 people on the tech side - myself (CTO), our CEO, a developer, and two designers, as well as 8 girls on the fashion side. Culturally we are pretty much a valley or NY startup - I'm a NY startup guy myself and I wouldn't work anyplace with big company culture.
We are looking for a junior programmer. There are a lot of things to do at styloot and we don't have time for all of them. We are looking for an entry level programmer to whom we can hand off the easy tasks. Web scraping is one of the biggies - we index a lot of sites and each site needs it's own scraper. Of course, if you can do more than just the easy tasks, that's even better.
If interested, send me an email. Contact info is in my profile. If you have code on github/bitbucket, you don't need to waste time writing a resume.
Month after month, the same companies list the same opening here (with probably 30% shift.) I would love to know if the companies that relist aren't getting applicants, aren't getting the right applicants, have a high turnover or are (hopefully) just continuing to grow. Also, are any HNers getting hired from these threads? Success stories are the most needed ingredient to remind everyone that hiring is happening.
I've been posting to HN monthly for about a year. I get responses from 2-10 HNers each month and several have been hired at Factual. About 20% of our technical hires in 2011 were people who came from HN.
I wondered about whether a similar post each month would be useful. I've been surprised in two ways: 1) The number of applicants has generally gone up each month, not down and 2) almost every month, one or two of the people responding say something like "I've seen your post several times now and have been meaning to reply. Today, I finally decided to do it."
I guess what I'm saying is that my experience with posting jobs to HN has been great, and posting (almost) the same content each month seems effective.

I posted again today, hopefully we'll hire someone else.
Canvas (USV Funded) is looking for engineers #3 and #4 to join a small close team building the rich-media community platform of the future.
The job title says "Software Engineer" but really we're looking for "Software Entrepreneur" or a "Startup Engineer". Yes, your day job will be writing code. But that's the only similarity to a big company software job.
You'll be challenged to take big ideas and turn them into concrete testable hypotheses. Shipping a great feature is important, but positively changing user behavior is the ultimate success criteria. Built-to-spec takes a backseat to moves-the-metrics.

At Qubit - http://www.qubitproducts.com/ - we're helping some of the biggest companies in UK understand their data and providing them with actionable intelligence. Founded by 4 ex-Googlers 2 years ago, we're looking for top Front-end/Back-end/Test/Infrastructure/AI/Statistical engineers to help build our core infrastructure to find deeper insights into our huge data sets faster.
We mainly use Java, to develop our Hadoop pipeline on AWS, and JavaScript, both in browser and on our nodejs/redis servers, with a bit of R, Python and what not in the mix.
2012 is going (to continue) to be an exciting time for our company and we'd love to have a bunch more people help us grow!
Have a chat with me at will+yc@qubitdigital.com an let me know what you are looking for to get the ball rolling.

My company hired someone from one of these threads - he is still with us and doing well. I stopped posting for a few months. I posted again today, hopefully we'll hire someone else.
HIRING: Frontend UI, Android, Rails, and Devops
A lot of major people in the healthcare industry are excited about what we are doing and where we are going. Being on the inside, you don't interact with those people so when you hear and read stories, it reinforces our notion that we are providing a meaningful service.
