It all depends on whether it's a job board that hackers will find useful and not something like Monster.com. If it's sufficiently relevant and useful to thread readers, it should be posted. Don't be pedantic, don't make up rules.

Pedantic might be a little harsh, but I see your point. You have no idea how spammy job board people (yes, I'm part of this crowd) can get when they find a new field to peddle their wares. We're just shameless. And if there's isn't some throttle/downvoting, these threads will become 90% "check out my job board" and 10% real jobs.

You're making an assumption that all job boards are of equal worth to HN'ers, when in actuality there's a wide variety. I'm sure some job boards (for example Techcrunch's Crunchboard) would get upvoted, while other less relevant ones such as Monster, etc. would get downvoted.

To argue that HN'rs are incapable of distinguishing between job boards that they personally find useful from ones they don't seems a weak argument.

Americas and Europe (remote): SpiderOak is looking for mobile engineering help

Since 2006, SpiderOak provides an easy, consolidated free online backup, sync, sharing, access & storage solution for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux with a zero-knowledge approach to encryption and customer privacy. (You could think of SpiderOak as Dropbox for power users.) We use Python, Django, web.py, WSGI, jQuery, PostgreSQL, nginx, 0mq, gevent, with some occasional heavy-lifting help from C, Erlang and Perl.

SpiderOak is a distributed, virtual company - we all set our own work schedule and work from home, coffee shops, or anywhere. We coordinate via Wikis, IRC, email, telepathy, and even face-to-face when possible. We don't bother with time sheets or other types of wage accounting -- we're a tight enough group that it would be obvious if someone wasn't doing her or his job.

We've noticed that some of the most accomplished people we know don't necessarily have polished resumes. As such, we don't care about formal education, age, gender, geographic location, resume, etc. We like smart people who love what they do and do it really well. Period.

If you're interested, please send a introduction letter to team+DDMMYYYY@spideroak.com making the obvious substitutions.

As a result of my last few posts there were quite a few people recommending that I use the who's hiring post as an opportunity to make fellow HN'ers aware of roles that might interest them. This is my first post that is anything remotely related to me sourcing candidates and I am keeping a close eye on it to see if it's well received or universally hated. So far it has a few upvotes and I've received four emails from…

Count me as someone who doesn't want to see recruiters posting in "Who's hiring" regardless of how good they are.

What's wrong with recruiters?

I'm assuming you wouldn't have a problem if someone mentioned that their employer was hiring (ie. non-primary posting in general)

Crimson Hexagon is looking for awesome developers: web developers, backend hackers, and everything in between.

We use machine learning to measure public opinion about major brands, politics, etc. using the social web as our datasource. We've collected, indexed, and are constantly mining an archive of over 50 billion web and social media documents, adding another 1+ billion each week. We especially need devs interested in scalability, search, and big data to help us keep up with all of the content we collect (including the full Twitter firehose).

Small team (just 4 engineers), mostly Java shop, plenty of free food and beer, just closed a $5mm Series B, and growing fast.

Drop me a line at stefan@crimsonhexagon.com
