#112The 10-person startup I work for, SnapMyLife, is looking for a Rails developer outside of Boston (Needham). Check it out: http://www.snapmylife.com/static/jobs#rre
"The ideal candidate is... posses a computer science degree"
That's unfortunate, since computer science has almost zero relevance to what you do.

#113My employer isn't a start-up anymore (still privately funded though) and we're hiring in the Pittsburgh area.

We also have a small development center in Scotts Valley, CA that isn't actively hiring, but is often looking for good engineers, especially those with Windows Mobile experience.

It's advised solving a puzzle first isn't it. i'd love to apply otherwise.

#115Awhile ago I posted my site, http://www.happyjobsearch.com here for feedback. I hope no one minds my mentioning it here again, but it seems relevant. I wrote the site over a weekend after I got laid off for the second time in 3 months. The first time I was laid off, I took a very haphazard approach to looking for jobs and it caused me a lot of stress. I made Happy Job Search to help get organized. It's like a GTD app…
I was doing some work this past summer trying to extract good feature sets from job ads so users could train a neural network to help filter through ads. I see there are a lot of sites that to do something for employers but its good to see someone else thinking of job seekers. Not much out there for us and I think an opportunity exists for someone that can optimize and organize the process with us in mind.
I have(/had) a project in this area as well, and I kept stumbling over the monetization problem-- job seekers are a population that has a strong disincentive to parting with their money.
NotchUp has an interesting play on this problem, though hard to say if they're getting any traction.
Obviously the employers and recruiters are the ones holding the money, so most solutions tend to cater to their dealflow needs.
Any other stakeholders with money that are part of this ecosystem? Or other monetization ideas?
Are there any affliate players in the job space? E.g. capitalizing on bounties/etc for successful hires/interviews?

#116At Disqus, we're looking for a front-end hero* . The candidate should be good at everything from visual and UI design to Javascript optimization. Email jobs@disqus.com. *hero is the new rockstar
Just for the record, if I were looking for a job, and you used hero (or ninja, or rockstar) in the title, I wouldn't take you guys seriously. This seems to be a common sentiment.
dude, relax a bit.
first, disqus has shown very impressive growth in the past year for a company of their size (not to mention they've raised money from fred wilson et al).
second, judging a post by one word is a bit pretentious.

Solving a puzzle is a good way of getting attention for your resume. It allows engineers to evaluate your coding skills much better than they would in a phone interview, it demonstrates interest and ability and geek cred. You can definitely apply without a puzzle, but there's obviously a large number of applicants that do so (and a corresponding signal-to-noise problem).
