There hasn't been a jobs thread in a little while. What are you looking for and where are you?

Edit: Only one entry so far from outside the US. Any others?

It's in my profile if anyone else is curious, but I'll email you directly.

Just a heads up, if you don't put it in the about section of your profile, users won't be able to see your email.

The email field on your profile is only visible to you.

Wow thanks for the heads up, I think I've left a lot of "my contact email is in my profile" comments in the past o.O

Can't decide which startup you'd like to go work for? How about all of them? Social rosary shopping may be in this week. Online klezmer lessons may be all the rage tomorrow. The Foursquare of fight clubs is sure to be around the corner. Don't try to predict fashion. Consider instead pestilence, which never goes out of style.

Matasano does software security for companies large and small. We get quality time with things ranging from the world's most high-impact Rails and Python apps to the firmware on storage cards, in areas ranging from the financial markets to online greeting cards.

You can be a human cowpox vaccine, parachuting in to make app developers slightly ill for a few weeks now to avoid uh dying later. It's a dirty job, but a fun one: everyone codes, all the time, in languages ranging from Ruby to Clojure to ARM assembly.

We're looking for people who can code, with a passionate interest in how technology works under the hood, the lower-level the better. C/C++ fluency gets our attention quickly, as does any real-world experience with application security, but if you can code, you really can't waste my time; we love working with people from Hacker News.

My contact info is in my profile.

I did some work in Thomas' Chicago office with them this summer. If I were looking for a day job, I wouldn't be looking for a day job any more: they're friendly, happy people who get social license to join the Dark Side, do smart stuff all day, and then go home while it is still light out.

I'm a YCombinator/Google alum currently working at a quantitative hedge fund in Greenwich, CT. We do a lot of cool, challenging Python work and are looking to hire great Python programmers. We basically build all the infrastructure and tools for trading/research. The job is a nice blend of math+programming and you get to work side by side with researchers and portfolio managers. Email me at petgra7@gmail.com if you're interested!

Track.com is looking for a Django dev, mostly front-end work but knowing a bit of everything is always valuable on a small team. Contact rich@ for details.

As always, please be sure to include your location and whether or not telecommuting is possible.

I'm not hiring, but I figure that this a reasonable opportunity to plug my site.

http://www.onedayonejob.com/

The focus is on entry level jobs, but the content consists of company profiles, so it's useful to pretty much anyone looking for a job.

Here are all of the companies that we've featured with positions in Web Development: http://www.onedayonejob.com/entry-level-jobs/web-development...

And in Software Development (lots of overlap): http://www.onedayonejob.com/entry-level-jobs/software-develo...

Tons of non-technical stuff too.

Brooklyn, NY (DUMBO) - no telecommuting available

Technologists wanted. Web/Mobile engineers needed to help build out future properties. iPhone, Android knowledge is a big plus, as is optimization skills. (aka Page Speed nerds) Technologies include jQuery, HTML 5, CakePHP, Rails 3.

http://www.ad60.com/jobs/

Mid to senior level is ideal, but the right entry level person will be considered. There's always more to learn.

Google is hiring for a lot of different jobs. Telecommute is difficult but we have offices in lots of places. See http://www.google.com/corporate/address.html for a list.

You know the problem with Google Hiring. I don't think Im actually smart enough or my resume isn't pumped enough to even consider looking at them...

To this day I find it funny that what is arguably the most successful web-centric company in history does not really like or support telecommuting. :)
