(Boston or remote)

We're hiring a developer at Ravelry.

The site has 2 million+ registered users and a healthy amount of traffic but we're a small staff of 4 - you'd be the second developer and you'd work on anything and everything.

The catch - you have to be a knitter or crocheter.

Los Gatos, CA, Netflix We have a ton of jobs open, but I'm particularly looking for Site Reliability Engineers. After yesterday's Amazon outage, you can see we still have some work to do. Looking for someone who can code who also has experience driving unix. At the interview we ask you to code on the whiteboard and also tell us how to troubleshoot Linux. Netflix is an awesome place to work with lots of smart people a…

To tack on more Netflix openings, drop me a line if you're a UI engineer interested in working in our TV platforms group. As has been discussed before, Netflix delivers UI to TVs, game consoles, blu ray players, and other devices via custom web applications. We're looking for more very strong JavaScript / HTML UI engineers with an eye for user experience. We have similar openings in our Mobile / Tablet group and work…

Out of curiousity, I was chatting over email with AdrianC some time ago about getting netflix into hospital patient rooms. He said "we will never do a commercial/aggregate account" -- is this still true?

I design hospitals and other large enterprise facility's networks and systems... and this is a really big need.

Can I talk to someone at netflix and convince them this is a good idea?

If not, is it allowable to build a system which has paid netflix streaming accounts that can be "checked-out" by nodes/devices to stream to? Allowing a hospital to have a pool of (N) accounts that can by used by (X) devices?
