Show HN: Startup Jobs for Developers • Hacker News Board

One thing I really like from a design perspective is the fact that you list the role (and Language) first. Often times I care a lot less about the company than about the position and stack I'd be applying for. Unless it's a particular well known startup most have likely never heard of the company anyway so it makes a lot of sense to not have that information be the focus of the listing.

Neat site! Usability note, I would add something to catch all key strokes. When using the search bar(which is pretty cool looking) I started typing, searched, then I hit delete to clear the prompt and was sent back. Granted this is normal behaviour of any website, but given it's a command prompt, I'm used to it being always ready for my typing.

There is a search bar??

Let me look again... oh, wow, I totally ignored that, thinking it was just a design element to break up the header from the jobs.

For posting a job, you might want to consider having the languages as tags (select many) rather than a category (select only one). Edit: also, it's not clear if clicking Save will post the job immediately or not. After clicking around, I see that there are published and inactive sections.

I disagree with the select many suggestion. So many job postings are full of popular languages but when you actually look at the job its clear that there is 1 language you will be using

For those of us outside the Bay and not looking to relocate, the ability to explicitly filter by location would be nice.

AirPair's listing in HTML/CSS includes:

Machine learning, Spam and relevance detection, NLP problems

Not sure that these would really fit, but it could just be me.

Really like the commandline-esque search bar

Looks great! We started doing something similar three weeks ago at http://jobsBCN.com, but with the idea of covering all job openings from startups in Barcelona city (Europe).

We have more than 250 job openings for engineers (+250 for biz) in more than 160 startup companies in Barcelona. Salaries are shown for some of them.

It could be interesting to see how different technologies rank against salaries, or regarding job openings. I hope to find the time to show some statistics soon.

I wish there were an equivalent for finding internships. One suggestion: integrate with Google Maps, allow the user to outline an area and show jobs in that area. I found myself searching the names of major cities in my area.
