Toronto: Many companies I know are hiring. FreshBooks, 500px, Rocketr, Mozilla, HireWinston, Endloop, Viafora are all hiring developers. Most are also hiring designers (Rocketr and Viafora are not).

That is halfway correct... :) We are also hiring 1 designer (with strong front-end qualifications).

Rocketr (Atatomic Inc.) has seen a recent infusion of capital and is looking to round out it's core team (there are 4 or 5 open positions for senior software developers - both web and mobile).

These people will be strongly aligned to Rocketr's long-term growth and upside potential.

Menlo Park, CA. Full time. Lead Designer at Everyme (YC S11) Everyme is the best way to keep in touch ( https://everyme.com ). We are looking for an extraordinary designer who has designed for mobile devices and the web. Experience with HTML/CSS is NOT necessary. You will be paid market salary and you will have generous equity. You will be treated like a god and your designs will be followed to the pixel. You will wo…

These guys are being far too humble.

The Everyme guys are one of the most impressive early stage mobile companies - in terms of product and founding team - I have seen for a long time. They've sold millions of iPhone applications in the past and now they've raised money from Greylock (Facebook) and Andreessen Horrowitz (Jawbone, Fab, etc) and dozens of other investors to take over the world.

If I were a designer (which I am) and were looking to join a company that was going to create a gorgeous product that has a significant chance to become the next Facebook, I'd join these guys in a beat.
