http://www.presencetelecare.com/ is looking for a lead engineer (first technical employee). Details at http://presencetelecare.com/careers#1226ffb63eb89022_OLE_LIN... I'm not affiliated with them, but I know the founders are looking high and low for the right person.

I couldn't find it mentioned anywhere on the site, but where are they based out of? I have a friend whose sister is autistic and whose mother became a speech pathologist because she couldn't find any "good" ones in the area (and have done some technical work there in the past). However, I'm one of those unwilling to relocate right now types.

They're in SF, near south park.

Children's Progress, a small New York City based data-driven-education company, is hiring. http://www.childrensprogress.com/about-us/softwareengineer.s...

Not to nitpick, but the job description lists "expert knowledge" for 12 different technologies. Seriously?

It says that it would be nice for the applicant to have at least a few, not necessarily all of them.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

Quite untrue - I was hired about 2 weeks after the "hiring freeze" was rumored. We have a Noogler starting in my department this week, so there's obviously not a hiring freeze. He's the first (in my department) since me and one other person were hired back in January, so the rate is obviously slow. I know a bunch of Nooglers that recently started on internal infrastructure projects though.

You have provided some excellent information here for people interested in getting a job at Google. You seem like a friendly, bright, and helpful person. So I say this with respect for you and for your own benefit. You must never, under any circumstances, ever use the word "Noogler" ever again.

Is anyone hiring part time?

(And while this may not be the most appropriate place... Advice on finding a programming job for a 16 year old with a year+ of programming (job) experience and significant knowledge of multiple popular languages?)
