Despite Angel copying and pasting her job description, I can vouch for her. Weddingful's a neat company, and has a lot of the right ingredients in place.

We share an office, and a great, active investor. If you're at all interested in working in Vancouver, British Columbia, and don't mind a startup with a bit of the leg work done, it's an interesting position.

BioWare Austin is still hiring web/PHP developers to help build the game/web integration for Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO. You need to be in Austin, TX, or willing to relocate yourself.

Imagine 1-2 million players feeding game events real-time into your web site from day one. There won't be any "grow slowly, scale gracefully" here. We need to be big out of the gate.

We've had something of a hard time finding people, so we're open to training up junior people, too. Never touched Drupal but are handy with PHP? Please do write.

The openings are here, under "Marketing:" http://www.bioware.com/bioware_info/jobs/austin_jobs/

They're contract jobs, so no relocation expenses are provided for, but they're a year long, so you wouldn't have to look for something new right away. It'd be 40 hours a week with potentially a lot of overtime (paid at time-and-a-half).

If you apply, please also email me (vmiliano at that domain name) with your resume so I can it in the hiring manager's hands.

Monetate is hiring - Conshohocken (Philly suburb). We're a SAAS provider of testing, targeting and personalization tools (i.e. segmentation, A/B testing, MVT) to internet retailers.

We've got existing high-volume customers. We're small, profitable, and we're growing fast. We're hiring engineering talent - we work with Javascript, Python, Django, Google Closure, MySQL, and all sorts of AWS in EC2.

We're looking for sharp engineers who are comfortable working across our stack and really want to be in a startup: http://www.ventureloop.com/firstroundcap/jobdetail.php?jobid... - we're only looking for local people for these roles at this point.

We're also hiring front-end engineers who want to help build and test experiments and are experienced in working with production-quality cross-browser HTML/CSS and Javascript without frameworks. We'll consider remote and telecommute for these positions.

We have fun problems at scale and we get instant feedback from our clients on everything we put out.

Feel free to email me tjanofsky monetate com.

As a student, I wish we had more "Who's looking for Interns" :)

If some place is hiring, ask anyways, and remember to ask them to point you to other places if they're not hiring. They're likely to know others in the field that are.

The worst case is that they'll say no.

As a student, I tried to build out my Github profile. It worked to my advantage as now I am employed (on a contractual basis, but it's work nonetheless) because of my Github profile.

Once you have open source out there, finding work is easy. Maybe try freelancing? Some of your friends might need a website... You have to learn somehow, might as well be in the trenches.
