#182Google - Madison, WI. Sorry, no remote work, but Google does sponsor visas. All levels of experience welcome. We've recently hired an ACM fellow, as well as a new college grad. Of course Google is hiring. So, why I posting this? Every time I tell someone I'm working at Google in Madison, they're shocked that there's an office in Madison, and I often hear people complaining about the lack of interesting technical work…
I didn't downvote you, but "sorry, no remote work" is a comical restriction for this field, especially for a large organization like Google.
How the hell do you build hardware remotely?

#183Just a friendly reminder about WFH.io ( http://www.wfh.io ), a site listing global full time remote / work from home (WFH) tech-related jobs. In August 2013 we added 31 jobs, with a breakdown as follows: * Software Development => 20 * System Administration => 7 * Customer Support => 2 * Other => 2 Also, we recently implemented Atom feeds for each job category, so you can easily subscribe to feeds to keep on top of jo…
Great resource! I wish I had known about this previously. Can you clarify what is meant by "Top 5 Requested Jobs"?

#184Fetchnotes - Cambridge, MA. Interns and full-time. We make your notes and to do lists better, not just better organized. We have a really simple and effective product for keeping track of reminders, ideas, etc., but what I think is really exciting about our business is the R&D we're doing to automate those things or find relevant context/information. For example, you write down a book you want to look up, and we show…
Are you guys interested in a part-time intern that just graduated?

Just had a recruiter from Google contact me. They do pretty often, once a year. I usually tell them I am not interested. This time the guy mentioned they have some interesting work. So I said ok, I'll talk to him. Set up a time. Waiting for the call. Get an email that he can't make it. Ok, reschedule. Set a new time. Get confirmation he would call. No call, no email not anything.
I am thinking WTF. I wasn't even the one interested in the position, is this level of unprofessionalism common with Google?
Sorry don't mean to derail the comments, but it just kind of left me with a bad taste in my mouth. And then seeing Google as first comment on HN hiring, kind of brought that back to my mind.

Your compensation is minimum wage. That is extremely unappealing to the kind of talented people you are seeking. I strongly urge you to reconsider.

#188Driveless (http://driveless.co/) - REMOTE from: SF Bay Area, LA, Santa Monica, NYC, Austin, Houston or Atlanta
Hi, I'm starting a company called driveless and I'm looking to build a kick ass team
I'm technical, full stack, and love getting my hands dirty with all types of tech. I've been doing web development since shortly before firebug was created and most recently spent 2 years at Ruby/Rails shop. Now I want to build with Scala and the Play Framework.
Here’s the pitch:
This is a startup building a service to help people find shared rides to and from nightlife (bars / restaurants / etc.) so they don't have to drive home drunk.
Also have big ambitions of becoming a general purpose local transit alternative (think commuters) but want to start with the smaller market segment first.
I want the company to ultimately be completely distributed but I want people in LA (especially Santa Monica), NYC, Austin, Atlanta, Houston or the SF Bay Area to start for the first 3 to 6 months. These places have active nightlife scenes that I know and/or quality technical talent around.
Right now the company is completely bootstrapped and I want to keep it that way for as long as possible so you’ll need to have a cash reserve. If we can get really good traction getting funding may be entertained but I’d rather raise money from customers, you should feel the same too.
Here’s where you come in:
Across the board people will need to be scrappy and not be afraid of wearing many hats.
Specific roles:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
* CTO / Vp Engineering
Have you built cool stuff that lots of people use?
Do you want to run you own engineering organization of really smart people and have them at your disposal to help solve problems?
I want to build from the ground up with Scala on the backend. But if you can convince me Go or is a better choice and is the new python re: http://www.paulgraham.com/pypar.html I'm all ears.
come join driveless!
* Developer
Have you built cool stuff that lots of people use?
Not quite ready to lead the team but still think the concept is cool and want to be a part.
You’ll be a part of decisions that have a direct impact on the direction of the company and a great deal of autonomy to figure out and then go build what users want or may not even know they want.
come join driveless!
* Lead Designer / UX
Have you built beautiful usable products that lots of people love?
I need you help crafting great user experiences that will keep people engaged as they are introduced to and explore their ability to move around town without a car through shuttle and charter services.
Need them coming back for more.
come join driveless!

Just a heads up, I went to fetchnotes.com in Firefox (23) and got nothing but a blank blue page with the following errors: http://i.imgur.com/zjBXqSx.png Nevertheless, I checked out your site in Chrome and I'll send my application later today :)
Are you using Ghostery or something else that blocks Mixpanel and other things like it? We noticed a bug surface like this when people use those add-ons.
Looking forward to your application! Already a good impression by finding one of our bugs :)
