Ask HN: Who Is Hiring (For Freelance/Part Time Remote Work)

There was a post on "who's hiring in October 2010" just recently: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1748045

I went through all the items and there were some for part-time/remote guys.

Same here, I have worked with RoR/Coldfusion/actionscript/Mysql/Oracle primarily in jobs and Co-ops and familiar with HTML/CSS/javascript. Before that I have worked with java/C#/c++ and a little PHP. I am looking for a remote flash job, particularly in games, I have previously worked for a company called Woogi World and have several of my creations online.

We're looking for a remote part time developer with strong CodeIgniter/LAMP/JS/jQuery experience. Someone with 5+ years of experience. Cool project, contact me!

We're looking for a Rails guy for contract/freelance work. Location doesn't matter ;) Contact: hitme at netizensmedia dot com.

I'm doing part time Android work for my old employer although honestly I barely know what I'm doing. It's editing an existing Android client app that they inherited and are successfully selling. I don't know if they're open to hiring anyone else to do the changes (I am pretty cheap) but I really have no time for it anymore and have told them so on many occasions. If anyone is interested, I can make an introduction...send me an email (link in profile)

The company I'm currently doing contract remote work for is looking for another developer: http://idea2.com/?page_id=1031

We are using Python, MongoDB, Redis, and Tornado. Super flexible people to work for -- feel free to contact me for more info.

This is for remote, short-term gigs. You can set your hours. The only requirement is that you kick ass and add value from day one.

Email your resume and/or github URL to joseph at metaoptimize dot com

We are looking for generalists:

* Hardcore programmers who learn new technologies and APIs quickly.

* Experienced sysadmins, especially who have experience with AWS and EC2.

And also specialists:

* People with backgrounds in machine learning, natural language processing, information retrieval, and/or search. Medium experience is fine, you don't have to have a PhD.

* Python/Django programmers

* Java programmers

Did I miss you? Send me an email anyway, and explain how you kick ass and are a self-starter.

Example things you might work on:

* Take this Python/Java program that operates in batch over textfiles, and convert it into a webservice (REST+JSON or XML-RPC or whatever) that operates real-time online (one document at a time).

* I have a NLP tool but the output is dirty. Build these simple text processing components to clean it up, e.g. by discarding low freq terms.

* Exploratory statistical analysis over data sets, to see if there are any interesting patterns. (More open ended)

* Take this code for a neural network, and write scripts that batch invoke the NN with different hyperparameters to do model selection.
