Because people often ask, these threads do work. I got in touch with http://romotive.com after seeing them post in one, and am currently packing up to move to Las Vegas and go work on robots (!) with a great team of kindred spirits, only a few weeks after I first sent them a letter. Good luck to searchers on both sides in finding your own perfect fit.

looks like an awesome place to be. Congrats.

Heads up, the image used for iOS SDK is the wrong one: http://romotive.com/developers

Technical Co Founder | New York, NY | Experience in computer vision, information retrieval, and/or NLP/data-mining

We are looking for a hacker co-founder determined to succeed. You will be competing with Amazon, eBay, and Google - combined.

We are inventing the future of e-commerce through innovative tools to connect merchants to consumers. We have unchartered, tough problems to solve with a product that is already live.

The team - Marketing genius/business hustler Co Founder and CS PhD Technical Co Founder.

You are well rounded and frighteningly capable generalist that can tackle anything from Web design and frontend development, to Python on the backend and iOS if need be. We do have a preference for someone fantastic with computer vision, information retrieval, and/or NLP/data-mining, but we wouldn't prefer that over record of building and releasing cool stuff.

Rumble - SF Bay Area (Redwood Shores, CA) -- https://www.rumblegames.com

We're a new, well-funded startup making and publishing AAA games for browser and mobile. We're making real games for a large audience. Not ultra casual, not niche-y.

Our first title is a cooperative multiplayer 3D action-RPG. Think Diablo on Facebook. But free-to-play, and no big download. No obscure plugins, either -- we use Flash, but you wouldn't believe it. Adobe says they've never seen anything higher quality in Flash.

Seriously, check out our trailer: https://www.rumblegames.com/kingsroad (and that was 6 months ago)

We're in closed beta. Let me know if you want to give it a test drive.

Rumble is backed by Google Ventures and Khosla Ventures ($15mm series A). We have one of the strongest founding teams the gaming industry has ever seen. (No, really: https://www.rumblegames.com/about/our-team)

We're both a developer and publisher of games, and we need help on both sides. If you want to develop the next generation of top-quality games, or you want to build and scale infrastructure to 1mm+ concurrent players, this is for you.

Positions: https://www.rumblegames.com/careers (contact me directly if something isn't listed)

Engineers

* Platform -- Java/Groovy/Grails/AWS (esp. Senior and Architect/Lead/VP)

* Web -- HTML+CSS+JS+(PHP/Python/Ruby)

* Game -- Flash+AS3/Java/C/C++/C#/Unity

* Data -- Hadoop/R+ML/Stats

New York, NY (Union Square, Manhattan) http://www.jcrew.com/footer/careers.jsp

Hi HN! J.Crew is expanding rapidly right now both domestically and internationally and we are looking for good devs -- and techies of all kinds actually! -- for our NYC headquarters. (We don't work with recruiters. Sorry, recruiters). My contact info is in my profile if you're interested in finding out more and are in the New York area or are interested in moving here (We don't permit remote work - except with our team in India).

Also, please keep in mind that, while you are free to apply for the job listings you can find on our website, if you're good and have an interest in working for us, at the moment (because of our rapid growth) there is very likely to be another role that can be carved out for you depending on your skills and/or interests. I may be able to help if you fall into the latter category.

Some of the perks include 5 weeks of paid time off (to be precise, 25 days of paid time off includes sick days, personal days and vacation days), half-day summer Fridays (just ending! sob!), free in-house masseuse, Starbucks coffee, balanced gender ratio, clothing discounts that can be as high as 75%, tuition reimbursement, in-house technical training and a really nice office building overlooking Astor Place with views towards lower Manhattan.

Regards,

Alleyn
