Yahoo has an opening on for their application platform team. Expert javascript a must, PHP and/or Java a plus. It's a tough role, but rewarding. I've held the position for the last year and half, and it's been a good experience. (I'm moving over to YUI.) Great team, lots of interesting problems to solve.

I'm not trying to be a jackass here so I apologize if I come off that way, but what's the YUI team up to? I havn't seen a bugfix update to the 2.0 branch in a while. Is everyone focused on 3.0?

No worries, it's a pretty valid question.

AFAIK, the only development on YUI2 is to fix "significant" (ie, new and/or awful) bugs, and to remove forks and special code that was in place for deprecated browsers (ie, safari 1.0 stuff, mostly.)

All the new development is happening on YUI3.

I'm not an authority on the matter, of course, since I've only been on the team for -1 week ;)

SlideShare is hiring a senior software engineer (I've been interviewing people for the position all day). http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/eng/1309674762.html

Someone with a serious Ruby background would be perfect, but we're open-minded ... if you've built cool stuff in other interpreted languages that's also OK.

Email me at jobs@slideshare.com (that goes direct to my inbox)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Oh yeah, we are always looking for developers. Especially smart ones. Another cool thing about being a developer/designer at FB is that they encourage side projects. Proof? http://www.guestlistapp.com/about/ http://www.freshbooks.com/our-team.php And here is head of dev tweeting about them: http://twitter.com/barsoomcore/statuses/3224450516 Here is VP of Marketing tweeting about them: http://twitter.com/MitchSolway/s…

You may not know this, but it's worth asking: What are the Canadian immigration laws like regarding non-Canadian citizens coming to work there?

Depends where you are coming from. Basically, the way I understand it is like this:

Platinum: From Great Britain, automatic acceptance, some sort of old law that is still on the books. Gold: From United States w/ BSc, BASc, BEng, BMath, CS, etc... If you have a white collar job offer it is basically a shoe in. Silver: A whole host of countries (New Zealand, AUS, Israel, Germany, China, Korea) w/ a family member or a job offer. Bronze: A refugee. Or from a country like South Africa. Harder to get in. Get on a waiting list, wait for years till something gets triggered. Denied: Palestine, Iran (except to study, or unless you are Bahia)

Check with a lawyer though. I'm certainly no expert, I just repeat the experiences of my friends.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/tool/index.as... Is the Canadian "eligibility tool"

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-who.asp Is the "who should apply" link

-Quote- If you meet these minimum requirements, your application will then be processed according to the six selection factors in the skilled worker points grid. The six selection factors are:

your education your abilities in English and/or French, Canada’s two official languages your work experience your age whether you have arranged employment in Canada, and your adaptability. -End Quote-

They always say they are - they spam craigslist every week like clockwork - but I haven't heard of anyone being hired in quite awhile. There were rumors of a undisclosed hiring freeze awhile back; I wonder if things ever got better.

If anyone is in the so cal area, we've started hiring as fast as we can in the Irvine office.
