I'm not looking at the moment, but just wanted to say kudos for your approach to remote work! I'm currently living mostly in rural France (with a month or two per year in Kuala Lumpur), working full time with a Cambridge-based startup that's even more accommodating of remote workers (and that's the only way I could possibly do this) -- many of us on the team travel & keep working, as well, which at one point resulted…

Being in rural France myself, I am interested in such open minded companies. Would you mind telling me who it is ? (if there are open positions).

Prior to July: Buenos Aires, Argentina (REMOTE is possible during this period). After July: Large city in the U.S.

Lead Developer

We are Bungolow, a startup putting the "RAVE" back in "Travel" (that's not actually our tagline, we promise -- just wanted to get your attention). Bungolow is a members-only site featuring curated hotel bookings for the wide-open Latin American market. Check us out at www.bungolow.com.

The reason for the interesting location tag up top is that we are currently participating in a TechStars Network accelerator in Buenos Aires. After the program, we aim to locate in a large U.S. city. This means: a) if you are a U.S. citizen, you have the opportunity to come hang out in an awesome South American city for 3 months then return with us to the U.S. of A; or b) if you are from outside the U.S., we will do everything in our power to get a visa for you to work in the U.S. In both instances, having you with us in BA is preferred but not required.

We're looking for a lead developer to drive the technological direction of the company. This is an opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a high-potential start-up. The right candidate will be considered part of the founding team.

We're not as concerned about your education background or prior work experience (or for that matter, even the technologies you code in) as we are of seeing evidence of stuff you have shipped. Please send us some links to things you have created online, and make note of your involvement in each.

Send to careers at bungolow dot com.

HeartFlow — Redwood City, CA (no REMOTE, possible H1B)

------------------------------------------------------

Software Test Engineer

"HeartFlow is looking for programmers to help in the design and development of a comprehensive test automation platform for HeartFlow’s products. Applicants should have a good understanding and hands on knowledge of Java, Javascript, Python, HTML/CSS, XML/XSLT, and SQL."

That official list of skills is more of a wishlist.

A few parts of our product are written in C++, so it'd be nice if you could understand it enough for testing. I've spent a good lot of time in C, but have no C++ experience myself. Most everything else in that skill list doesn't require an in-depth expertise, other than Java. Day-to-day, most of your time will be spent in Java.

What do we do? Watch this video: http://heartflow.com/wp-content/themes/greenapplesolutions/s...

Other open positions:

• Biomedical Test Engineer (Cardiovascular Simulation & Imaging)

• UX Designer

• Software Developer in Cloud Services

• Software Developer in Web Applications

• Sales Representative (Northern Europe)

You can apply on our website (http://heartflow.com/jobs/) or shoot me an email: [username]@heartflow.com

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Interesting. Do you know if hiring remote (worldwide) candidates is a common practice in other units of Amazon.com as well?

The typical answer is: "it depends on the team". Is there a particular part of Amazon that you are interested in?

For example A9 and EC2 VM Import teams.
