London, UK: Songkick (YC07) is looking for a Systems Engineer and an Agile Tester. In both cases we're looking for someone who can work on-site with the rest of our team.
More someone who can run testing in a way which fits well with agile development, rather than simply verifying functionality once development is largely complete.
In our case this means working closely with developers, product owners etc. early in the development cycle to ensure that acceptance criteria are fully explored and agreed on, helping the engineering team build automated acceptance tests, which we use to drive development, and exploratory testing throughout the development process.
Sorry if I came off snarky in my question. I def didn't mean it that way.
Your explanation makes some sense, but (IMO) engineering teams should just strive to have developers own the testing process, especially if you except it to be "agile" automated testing of the unit/functional/continuous integration variety. Is testing not something that developers should (collectively) own?
I used to believe this until I actually worked in a team with dedicated testing staff. While it is entirely the responsibility of the developer to test changes and functionality to the best of their ability, testing is arguably a skillset in itself.
Our QA will test any new changes from every possible angle (will that work on all international sites? For all products? What if a user gets half way through that process, opens a new tab and changes to a different point in the flow, makes some changes, then comes back to the first tab and continues? What happens then?)
That and thorough regression testing mean that no matter how subtle any introduced bugs might be, QA will make sure that at the very least it won't effect sales (or whatever core business process is absolutely mission critical).
While in theory developers could do all of this, having staff that set out deliberately to break developers code creates a really good dynamic in the workplace. We mark stories as code complete and expect testers to come back with at least one round of bugs. A lot of the time we'll spot them just as or just before we commit, but the testers are good at digging down and finding edge cases that developers often miss.
We're looking to fill a couple roles: Web Application Developer, Systems Developer, Infrastructure Engineer, and Data Analyst.
We're a 'big data' company and the problems we work on are pretty interesting. Among other reasons to be curious, our programmers all learn K. Contact jobs at 1010data (and mention HN).
London, UK: Smarkets Limited, a social gaming site, is looking for a front end developer (Websockets, Python, JS, CSS3 a bonus) and an Erlang developer to join our small tech team. yourlife@smarkets.com for more information.

Looking for software engineers, QA, support engineers, interns, and more: http://www.10gen.com/jobs. Working remotely depends on the job.
Working on MongoDB is great: there are tons of interesting programming problems, an awesome community, my coworkers are brilliant, and you get paid to work on open source software.
I'm looking for somewhere to intern at Summer 2011 and I see that you have a posted internship. Do you have any details about internship at 10gen? If you do, I would love to talk to you about it. My e-mail is in my profile.
Pachube (http://www.pachube.com) is looking for an experienced javascript / front-end developer to build some awesome widgets to display live data coming in to our system form thousands of connected devices.
Sure - we have no fixed vacation policy (apart from that fact that it's unlimited). It's purely based on mutual respect. If a team-member wants to take vacation, its up to him to be responsible and plan accordingly, make sure projects are finished etc. Of course, respect means that you shouldn't take 6 months off. But to date we've never had an issue and we've been doing this for two years and will be close to 20 people soon!
Forward is a collection of innovative online brands based in Camden, London. Our success is driven by talented people who are given the freedom to experiment with technology in a low ceremony environment. Forward is reliant upon developers who actively engage in the business and go beyond a traditional role. Technology is at the core of how we solve problems, from testing new businesses in a day to discovering how the weather affects web traffic. This has made us one of the top ten fastest growing privately owned technology companies in the UK.
We're looking for people across and group and are interested in programmers who:
Have a polyglot coding background: Clojure, Ruby, Java, and any other languages you feel are convincing
Understand the Internet and what makes it work: HTTP and REST, HTML and semantic markup, and CSS
Contribute to, or have their own, open source projects
Like to experiment with technology to solve problems
Are pragmatic and focused on delivery
Have courage when expressing opinions regardless of how controversial
Post Agile ;-)
We're looking for full time devs, both experienced and intern types looking to learn. Great team, interesting problems, international focus. We look forward to hearing from you.
We need more experienced Ruby on Rails engineers to join the FreeAgent team. We're a growing startup building an online accounting software (and believe me, it can still be fun).
The team is excellent and super friendly and it's just a pure joy to work for them.
Ideally we're looking for people to work full-time with the team in our Edinburgh office, but we would consider a remote working arrangement for exceptional candidates.
We're looking for backend developers, frontend developers, mobile developers, designers, customer service reps, account managers and a few other positions.
Lot18 is a membership by invitation website for wine and epicurean products. We're an agile, early stage, venture backed technology startup.
Our company is a great place for smart, hard working people who want to make a difference and help change the wine world.
Scale Computing has a couple position open for C/C++ developers. Preference would be for working on site but we are open to people working remote (I work remote myself). More info at http://www.scalecomputing.com/careers/

we're hiring for experience Ruby on Rails and C# developers. Fun team to work in - lots of interesting challenging work from video compressions right through to front end site and syndication delivery. Full time job in our Clerkenwell offices - competitive salaries. Full job specs here:
also looking for a good iphone developer for odd updates to our apps, and a good android developer to build out a new app (1 month contract).
all positions available immediately.
We're a 60-person financial-software firm committed to learning and improvement as well as great web software and agile development. We're 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 successful candidates relocate to London or Boston. We relocated a HN reader from Denmark earlier this year for example. We sponsor London HN meetups and wouldn't mind doing so in Boston too.
We're looking for a Rails (we use a lot of cool tech, like rails 3 and mongodb) and/or Android (wanna port our app over to scala?) guy to help us out. I'm the CTO of Zazu -- http://getzazu.com --, where we're building the Smartest Damn Alarm Clock (but we're so much more than that). Get in touch with me at marc@getzazu.com
We're based out of Boston, but you can work from anywhere.
The end goal of Zazu is to build Jarvis from Iron Man. We have delusions of grandeur, but we will not rest until it's done. The current iteration of the product is an Android application that replaces the built-in alarm clock with an alarm clock that we believe to be more intelligent: it pulls whatever information you find important -- like your RSS feeds, your calendar, your email, your twitter stream -- and reads that information to you using a Text-To-Speech engine.
We're working with a few big brands to create a new form of interactive marketing/advertising and we promise that we're only going to be providing relevant information to our users... so y'all won't be blasted with Colon Blow advertisements 1000x a day.
We're going to be leaving the morning space fairly soon, meaning we'll integrate with your calendar to let you know what you need to regarding where you are and where you need to be (both physically and metaphorically). We're trying to transform the moment of alert into a moment of informed decision making. We'll be looking at emails and other areas that involve alerting and decision making, too.
Looking for great developers. Our stack is Groovy/Grails/Java, but languages matter less than being a great technologist. Looking for both UI and Backend developers.
We also have other positions, such as account management and support / qa.
We are an early stage startup in energy efficiency space. We have been spun out of a larger company . What we do is an intersection of software, statistics / data analytics and energy expertise. Seeing significant traction and have revenue (need to staff up - a few deals currently in the pipeline are about to close).
I was surprised to see a huge ad on the page and thought it was spammy or high-schoolish.
You might want to remove that ad on the header atleast on the careers and the about us pages on your site. IMHO, it doesn't make a good first impression.

No remote: EatingWell Media (www.eatingwell.com) but relo package available for the right person.
Two programming positions: one 'junior' one 'mid level'. Our flagship site is Drupal with new tools coming out in Python.
A quickly growing company, still small (~35 people), stock options after a year, good benefits, great atmosphere, dog friendly office, good eats from the kitchen.
Your supervisor is a programmer; we are taking an afterthought of a department and growing it into the main revenue stream. Tons of room for growth, lots of freedom, and your input will be taken seriously.
Strong sys admin skills are not necessary but a huge plus (reverse proxy, managing clusters, etc)

More finely granulated titles/roles = less agile.
