Puppet Labs is trying to rock the DevOps/Sysadmin world with our model-driven approach to config management.

We're based in Portland, OR, and aren't looking for remote workers as yet.

We're looking for both Core Developers and Pro Services Engineers, and no matter what, you'll be working with open source software and a highly engaged user community, as well as on a project that is included in most of the major *nix distributions in one way or another.

Puppet itself is written entirely in Ruby, so strong experience in Ruby is great, but experience in an equivalently flexible language is fine too.

We've recently moved into our new offices: http://twitpic.com/3ckay1 http://twitpic.com/3cksg3 (things are more organized than that now :)

Portland is freaking awesome.

I moved up here recently after working for Google in the Bay Area, and I couldn't be happier. Cheap rent, amazing food and beer, huge bike culture and a city full of incredibly friendly and nice people.

Monetate - Conshohocken, PA (Philly suburb)

Local only. Will relocate for the right person but no remote. We've hired 2 great people from HN.

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 funded by First Round Capital. http://jobs.monetate.com/

* We're looking for backend engineers who want to work on data and web problems at scale in Python.

* We're also hiring front-end developers who want to help build and test experiments and own our client facing UI. You should be experienced in working with production-quality cross-browser HTML/CSS and Javascript with and without frameworks.

We have fun problems at scale, great people to work with, and we get instant feedback from our clients on everything we put out! We're having a blast.

Feel free to email me any questions - tjanofsky monetate com.

Digg is hiring on-site in San Francisco (Potrero hill) for frontend and backend developers, with a preference for people who work all the way up and down the stack. We're willing to take chances on newer developers who seem like a good fit, and also want veteran engineers who will to come in and challenge our assumptions and shake things up.

We're working at a scale where performance and data storage decisions start to matter. We're working with a modern stack (Redis, Python, PHP, RabbitMQ, gevent, Hive, etc), and the team we've put together is truly fantastic. 2010 was a topsy turvy year for us, but setbacks build character, and there are many reasons to be excited about where we are going. :)

Job specs are at jobs.digg.com , and feel free to send questions/resumes my way at wlarson@digg.com . If you're interested but concerned about the press or trajectory of Digg, definitely send an email my way, and I will send some of my optimism your way!

We've got a development opening for a full time position at my startup, Bloom Health.

http://gobloomhealth.com/jobs/software-engineer

Bloom Health is a VC funded startup with about 20 employees (including 5 developers currently).

Our offices are in downtown Minneapolis and are connected to the skyway. 100% remote working isn't an option currently, but we're flexible enough that working from home a day or two a week isn't a problem.

We develop on macbook pros with external monitors, and deploy our solution on Amazon's EC2 platform. Smart and fun people drinking free soda and working with groovy and grails, continuous integration, test coverage metrics, user stories, distributed version control, etc. All the things you'd want and expect in a startup, plus a business model that actually has a shot at paying off as an added perk.

Austin, TX; on-site.

We're looking for experienced developers to join our team at The Texas Tribune. We're a non-profit, online news organization that covers state politics and policy in Texas. State and local governments spend more money than the federal government in America, yet far less attention is paid to what's going on outside of D.C. We aim to fix that.

We're currently working on improving and open-sourcing our CMS to allow other similar organizations to get off the ground much more quickly. We also build data apps that help our readers visualize, browse, and search through various data that the government puts out[1]. It's fun, fulfilling, and well-compensated work.

If you're interested, email me at nbabalola@texastribune.org. Include GitHub and HN usernames if you have them.

[1] Some examples:

Government Employee Salaries: http://www.texastribune.org/library/data/government-employee...

Prison Inmates: http://www.texastribune.org/library/data/government-employee...

Elected Officials: http://www.texastribune.org/directory/

Groupon (Chicago or Palo Alto) wants to hire 25 devs in January 2011.

Great developers. We develop in Rails but we'd rather hire a smart, motivated, skilled developer and teach them Rails than hire any Rails dev and hope they turn out to be awesome. Lots of problems to solve in data mining, personalization, scaling, business support tools, etc. My first month here I released code supported millions of dollars of deals.

Good coding practices, weekly releases, code reviews, pair programming as needed, MacBook Pros + Cinema monitor for all devs, etc. Full benefits, real (not startup-sized) salaries.

Contact peterc@groupon.com with any questions and I can connect you to the right people.
