San Francisco (remote possible)

HotelTonight is just over a year old company now. We have great funding (plus a solid business model and increasing revenues & growth every month), and a wide range of interesting projects in mobile (iOS, Android, web/HTML5/JS), Rails, devops, etc. We are always hiring at this point.

I truly love the company and team we've built. The culture is outstanding, and one of the best parts is that every developer has a direct impact on product. We're continuing to innovate in our mobile apps, but also doing some very intriguing work on the back end.

Our main office is in San Francisco, but remote is possible too - US or Canada only. No contracting firms or recruiters please.

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.

Sadly, I've only had one response from posting here (for Phunware, Inc.). Initially, my desire was that we hire solely from HN, but the reality hasn't lined up with that ideal.

Are you guys doing anything with remote positions. I love what you guys are doing and would love to be a part of it, but I am bound to Florida. It's a long story but the tl;dr is my wife and I are my grandparents caretakers, so picking up roots is not possible.

Hi kls where are you in Florida? We're in Miami and we're hiring.

Rob, I am in the Orlando area, if you guys would consider a semi remote position I would be interested, I could be onsite for a week a month or so. My contact info is in my profile. I have property in the keys and plan to relocate there at some point (after we build) which will be closer.

For what it's worth (and as far as I'm aware), H1B visas are now capped (i.e. full) until October 1st, 2012 - applications are accepted from April 1st - so there may not be much sense in companies including the keyword "H1B" as requested, unless they're looking to fill a roll later in the year..

Except H1B is used as a generic term to indicate willingness to sponsor visa applications, including types other than H1B visas (such a TN1 for Mexican and Canadians), so please, keep including it.

There's also E-3s for Australian citizens, which I only just found out about! Probably about the only good thing about the US-Australian FTA :P
