I work at Canonical which continuing to grow. Most of the technical positions are remote. It's a great place to work. Tell them Benji sent you. http://webapps.ubuntu.com/employment/

I applied there a few days ago, I feel extremely qualified for the position but all I got was a "sorry, you were rejected" form email. Not the best experience, sadly.

We're looking for:

  + perl backend developers http://jobs.perl.org/job/13680
  + javascript front end developers http://peter.michaux.ca/articles/wanted-javascript-developer
The job ad says you're required to be eligible to work in Canada but that's just a nice to have for us. If you're qualified you can work from anywhere you want.

It's not March yet. I think a lot of people wait until the first of the month to read and post to these type of threads so jumping the gun might limit the reach.

This post is promoted prematurely, I guess. But for some people in Australia, it's March already.

Fair point indeed.

An accounting consultant I've worked with in the past is looking for someone to subcontract work to. It mostly involves SQL Server administration, SSRS report writing, and some SSIS work.

You need to be really good at SQL, and stored procedures. Also some background in accounting would be helpful but isn't required.

I don't think this would be full time. I'm guessing it would be between 10-20 hours/week.

Email me if you're interested. If you seem to fit what he's looking for I'll pass your info along.

They have been advertising the same jobs for many months... I suspect they are just collecting resumes.

Hmm, what purpose would that serve, though?
