Cape Town, South Africa We are looking for C++ Engineers to work on open-source code in the compilers/object persistence/DB/multi-threading/networking areas. If things like the new plugin architecture in GCC 4.5 make you excited, then you are our kind of guy (or gal). Here is more info: http://www.codesynthesis.com/jobs

We're a little company based in Yellowknife, the capital city of the Northwest Territories. We deliver broadband satellite internet to 61 of the most remote communities on earth, and now that our network's up and running (although we're investing heavily in upgrading it), we're busy building great software for our customers, optimized specifically for our unique network.
Right now, we're building a file sharing webapp. Why not just use dropbox, you ask? Well, our network is pretty unique: all our traffic is bounced off a satellite, and round-trip latency of ~600ms (which is because of the horrible limitation of the speed of light, which we are constantly working to exceed) means that we have to do things a little differently. SSi is so cool that when we won a government contract to do "time-shifted file transfers", we decided that we /could/ meet our contractual obligations with a few weeks of work/testing, but instead we're building a wicked webapp that brings the functionality to everyone on our network, not just big clients with IT departments.
Yellowknife's not as cold as you think, and the 24-hours-of-daylight summers are not to be missed.
If you're interested and game, we'll make an offer really easy to accept: We'll get and pay for your apartment, a car if you need it, and pay you atop that. We'll do all that for up to three months while you evaluate us and the north, so that it's risk- and hassle-free for you to come to a really great, unique company in an awesome little city.

Dropcam, http://www.dropcam.com/ in San Francisco. You should email me directly - greg@dropcam.com. We code for the cameras and the server-side, mostly Python/C -- and there are many terabytes of data to work with. We also have an iPhone app and will support more mobile platforms in the future. We're looking for generalist engineers who know C like the back of their hand but prefer to code in a higher level language…
SSi Micro is hiring great hackers. Know C pretty well, be great at one high-level language (Python, PHP, whatever), be a quick learner (and we mean quick), and then come and be a propellerhead at our awesome, small company. www.ssimicro.com/jobs We're a little company based in Yellowknife, the capital city of the Northwest Territories.

Looks like they're building a bridge, though. By "not as cold as you think", you mean that the spit hits the ground before it freezes?

Building things that people want is overrated. A person can derive great pleasure and satisfaction from ripping things apart instead. That's the gig we're offering. We work with some of the most interesting companies, along with lots of companies with interesting technology you've never heard of. This job has had me write compilers, learn Scala, reverse and interoperate with freaky network protocols, test chipsets, w…
Good luck!

Wow, that's really remote. To drive there, you apparently have to take a fairly small ferry boat: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&... Looks like they're building a bridge, though. By "not as cold as you think", you mean that the spit hits the ground before it freezes?
And that bridge... What a nightmare. It's been in the works for years, tens of millions over budget, and it's become a local joke. "Yea, we'll finish that once the bridge is finished."
Also, you only have to take the ferry in the warm months--from January to mid-April you get to drive on the ice road. There's a show about it on Discovery called Ice Road Truckers (oddly, everybody here loathes the show, despite some of our locals being on it). It's pretty fun to be cruising down a shoveled track of ice on a huge frozen lake, radio blaring. Yes, there are roadsigns on the ice road. :)
