Really REMOTE. You don't even have to be in the USA.

deviantART (http://www.deviantart.com) wants developers. We're fully remote; there's no central office with a devteam located there. We expect all hires to be comfortable working in PHP, JavaScript, CSS, and SQL; we like our developers to be able to hack on any part of the site, rather than being frontend/backend specialists.

One exception to all that: there's an Infrastructure Engineer position which is located in Vancouver. It's C++/Java focused, and involves developing backend services used by the rest of the site.

We post information about our development process here sometimes: http://dt.deviantart.com/blog/

Apply here: http://deviantart.theresumator.com/apply?source=hn

Seattle, WA - Software Development Engineer

AWS - My team is looking for software engineers passionate about building new web services. If you’re interested in building high performance distributed systems, come join a new AWS service and influence the direction of the leading cloud provider. We have several positions for a range of experience levels. If you’re not in Seattle but are up for a change of scenery, Amazon has a great relocation program that makes it extremely easy to join AWS.

To apply, send your resume to aws-jobs-fast-yc@amazon.com.

AWS is an unique mix of startup culture/autonomy combined with the ability to leverage the incredible infrastructure of Amazon/AWS. I’ve worked in AWS for the past year and I’ve learned more in that time than I thought possible. I’m an infrastructure person at heart, and at other companies I’ve worked for, I’m always torn between doing the deep engineering that I love, or working on a more customer focused product. In AWS, they are one and the same. I like having scalability, availability, and performance as core features of the product I’m building. Another thing I love about working in AWS is the impact your work has - your service is used by thousands of developers, and those developers use your service in ways you never imagined, which are then used by millions of people.

Topsy Labs is hiring hackers in San Francisco. We condense nuance from petabytes of fact. Often in milliseconds. We hack in Python, Perl, C++, Hadoop. We wrote a distributed RDF store that holds 100B triples, and a search engine from filesystem up that organizes indexes in real-time. We run Topsy.com, Otter API (otter.topsy.com) and we are building some amazing new products in the intersection of social data and sear…

Ha, I like your inversion of the Snowcrash quote, "condensing fact from the vapor of nuance" -- what a great tagline for a social search company.

London/Cambridge UK Disruptive B2B start-up is looking for Technical Co-Founder

I developed a concept of a web-based platform that puts the 21st century into market research by utilising smartphone applications and their developer communities.

Since pitching to industry experts I have received great interest and been asked to apply to an incubator who would like to support me and a small team to develop the concept further.

-----------------------------------------------------

I'm looking for a hands-on technical co-founder who can help me turn my mock-ups into an MVP over the next three months and then on to launch and beyond. Suitable frameworks exist in open-source format, which can be built upon (up to you).

If you are a self-motivated developer who likes the idea of disrupting a large market then please get in contact for more information! Experience and track record of bringing a customer focused product to market and start-up experience is a huge bonus.

----------------------------------------------------

With my science background (PhD), I'm somewhat technical but I won't be an idiot and list the different technologies I think you will need. This is of course up to you and you alone will decide on the stack and direction that it takes.

As your partner I will be charge of product design, business development, sales and marketing. I am driven by my vision, I work extremely hard and I will do whatever it takes to take us to the next level. I also see our partnership as a great opportunity to learn more programming and to eventually contribute some code myself.

I can offer co-founder equity as well as a negotiable salary (based on us getting into the incubator). I am not expecting you to rush into this partnership head-on. If you are also doing some freelance work on the side (etc.), I am flexible enough to work around that until we have pocketed the incubator funding.

If you are a cool dude and you want to know more then contact me at dapgutmann@gmail.com

New York, NY & San Francisco, CA - Foursquare We're hiring Android and Blackberry developers, data analysts and data scientists, software engineers, and software engineer interns. We're changing the way people interact with the world around them, we have troves of data about where people go and what they do, and we build a mobile app that millions love. If you want to come help us build the future of location product…

What do your data analysts/scientists do on a normal basis? I just sent in my applications to both because it sounds like the technical experimenting I loved doing during my graduate school.

Excellent question! I work on the data team here, and we work on a variety of projects. Some of our features rely on data from our applications, and so we help develop those features by building our data models. On the other hand, some other projects, like our recent infographic[1], are open-ended - you have the freedom to come up with your own hypotheses and test them against our data.

If you have a good background in data munging and analysis, it's incredibly fun work - a nice mix between the creativity of investigating problems that interest you and the rigor of data science.
