Ask HN: Who's hiring? (September 2010)
I'm really interested in London, UK but I'm sure one of these is overdue so feel free to let others know what else is out there.
A little format to the first couple of lines is always helpful. <Vague Job Title> - <City>, <Country>
And then a little bit describing the role and your startup/company.
Thanks in advance.

We're hiring at http://JumpPost.com. We currently have a product aimed at helping to solve the NYC apartment search process by connecting apartment hunters directly with vacating tenants, but we're also testing out some other products to connect local supply with demand. We're built in Ruby, running on Heroku, using AWS, working out of a cool meatpacking district loft, and are looking for some smart people to join our three man operation. Must be in NYC, but we can discuss relocation. Email jobs@jumppost.com to chat.
Same as the last time around Monetate is hiring - Conshohocken (Philly suburb). We have hired people who found us here - these threads are great.
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 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.
I would certainly encourage anyone in the Philadelphia area to apply.

Looking for an experienced web developer who loves news and is comfortable at all levels of the web app stack. (Interns would be nice, too.) We use Django, but Django experience isn't a requirement, just a plus. You'd be joining a team that builds our main website and content management system, as well as nifty web apps that make government data more accessible to the public. The work is fulfilling for me, and hopefully it would be for you too.
Our team is tiny and the hacker/journalism field is still nascent, so the things you do are likely to get recognized within the field, and hopefully by the public as well. Since we're one of the bigger non-profit local/regional news organizations out there, people like to write about us, so if you do good work, it'll get noticed, which is nice.
If you're interested, fill out the survey: http://trib.it/ttdevjob
youDevise, a small financial-software firm in London, England committed to learning and improvement as well as great web software, is hiring developers and other smart folks of many kinds. See http://www.youdevise.com/careers and https://dev.youdevise.com.
No remote working, but we do help you move to London (including immigration), and we will be opening a US development office soon.
Reporting into the head of technical you will work initially in the Reading office then deployed on projects involving network forensics (using NetWitness, Wireshark etc.), reverse engineering and live host forensics.
http://www.mandalorian.com/ we're a small independent information security consultancy providing bleeding edge security testing and advanced incident response services. We have a good atmosphere, flexible environment and are based in central Reading.
Cloud-based web-charting with social functions. Contacts in the profile. Feel free to contact any time.
UPD: Remote cooperation is OK.
I thought I'd do this as a separate one to the other as it's a different skill set and reporting line.
We're currently looking for a New Business Executive to generate new business sales for our security testing and incident response services as well as to start ramping up for a new managed service we're launching early next year. The new service has some incredible USPs, the company's a nice place to work with good people and uncapped commission. Contact details on my profile.
We're looking for smart people to help at an established high frequency trading shop. We have a few positions open, from latency critical stuff that must be done in C/C++/Haskell, to 'offline' data crunching which is more Java/Python/Erlang/etc. Plus a bunch of other stuff in everything in between.
Frankly, our code is probably faster and deals with 'bigger' data than anything else you've ever seen (and this was true for me, after having Top Secret clearance working on satellite defence and having interned at several 'big data' places in college).
If you're bored of working on the same 'solved' problems in webapp development as everyone else, you should check us out! We're organized into very small teams, that each have quite a bit of autonomy. It's very entrepreneurial, and you'll have a real dollars and cents impact on our bottom line very quickly.
We were Sequoia funded too, for whatever it's worth.
Shoot me an email/resume at {my_username}@allstontrading.com to learn more!
Memory latency is a performance bottleneck for Haskell code because the execution model uses a lot of memory indirections.
Pretty much; MVC, C#, SQL Server, jQuery, WCF, messing with couch, memcached and lots of other stuff.
My email address is in my profile...
cheers
I run a small independent consulting group and have multiple contracts I am looking to fill. The positions are with both small start-ups and large fortune 500.
Please email me for more details - hackernews at anvilflex.com
Hope to have a whole bunch of new features out in the next week or two that will make the site even more useful!
I'm not sure if you have international positions, the zip code search means I can't even be sure that just entering London would work (I get 404's when I try with values that I think should work if it were international).
