Where can I find information about what you're looking for? :)
Interested about finding out more, too
email anthony@feint.me - currently looking for a php developer.
Are there any node.js based remote jobs?
I work at Canonical which continuing to grow. Most of the technical positions are remote. It's a great place to work. Tell them Benji sent you. http://webapps.ubuntu.com/employment/
I applied there a few days ago, I feel extremely qualified for the position but all I got was a "sorry, you were rejected" form email. Not the best experience, sadly.
They have been advertising the same jobs for many months... I suspect they are just collecting resumes.
Hmm, what purpose would that serve, though?
Currently looking for a Front-End Developer and Designer for our startup in NYC. Remote work is fine by us.

Ambitious product, joyful work, good people to work with. stylewok dot com (info at).

Just tried visiting your site at stylewok.com and seems like it's parked.
It's not March yet. I think a lot of people wait until the first of the month to read and post to these type of threads so jumping the gun might limit the reach.
This post is promoted prematurely, I guess. But for some people in Australia, it's March already.
someone forgot its leap year and Leap Day
Depending where you are at, it might be March already :)
We're looking for:

An accounting consultant I've worked with in the past is looking for someone to subcontract work to. It mostly involves SQL Server administration, SSRS report writing, and some SSIS work.

You need to be really good at SQL, and stored procedures. Also some background in accounting would be helpful but isn't required.

I don't think this would be full time. I'm guessing it would be between 10-20 hours/week.

Email me if you're interested. If you seem to fit what he's looking for I'll pass your info along.

We are looking for high-scalability data processing, machine learning, ETL, and/or browser-internals/javascript experts. Contract or contract to hire. Remote or local to Santa Monica, CA. Typical startup environment.

iPhone developer looking for iPhone app designer/artist (the latter more important than the former) for some part time remote work.

We are: http://sucuri.net

Looking for an entry-level (junior) support person to help us out. Great way to get experience and work with some cool security projects (dealing with all types of malware, infected sites, etc).

What we are looking for? Someone that learns fast, loves to automate boring tasks, knows Linux / PHP (or shell scripting) and is fun to work with. Experience with WordPres/ Joomla/ Wiki and other popular web apps is a plus.

Email me dd@sucuri.net if interested.

We make the Sooloos line of products. They compose a music management solution that currently sells in the high end market (luxury, hifi, audiophile, etc..)

Our product is far too expensive right now for most people. We are in the middle of executing a plan to create a budget appliance and a free piece of software to expand past our current markets. This requires some additional features that must be implemented to ensure success (social features, offline mobile players, more 'remote control' on devices people already own, etc..).

When we started, it was not possible to bring our product to the masses because the computer resources required to create a great experience were not common place. Thats why we built an appliance. The last 2 generations of hardware have been capable, so it's now possible to bring our vision to the masses.

We are hiring 4 developers, and here are some of the things we would like to see in developers:

c# (msft on windows & mono on osx, linux) opengl (windows and osx) c/c++ linux social networking experience server side experience client app experience ui sensibilities design sense iphone/ipad android a passion for music

The above are nice to haves, and not requirements. Smart, experienced, and passionate development history is more important.

Our work environment is very focused on fast execution, while providing a great lifestyle. Our team is spread out over the globe (NYC, SF, Bangkok, UK) and tiny (3 developers + 2 designers). We live inside the Meridian Audio umbrella, but we are responsible for the Sooloos line. You would work wherever you wanted to live. We have a small concentration in NYC, but NYC is not a requirement. Our management style is very relaxed and it will require you to be great while not being micromanaged. You must be a great communicator (in English), especially online. Fast typing and familiarity with online communication mechanisms is required.

We will also hire consultants to do a few projects we have been able to isolate as good for short term consultancy work.

You can read about our existing products in many reviews on the internet. Here are a few:

mainstream press: http://www.esquire.com/the-side/tech-therapist/enter-the-soo...

and in the hifi market: http://www.stereophile.com/mediaservers/908sooloos/

and then, an update from a few months ago: http://www.stereophile.com/mediaservers/908sooloos/index10.h...

and another: http://www.hometheatermag.com/mediaservers/meridian_sooloos_...

San Diego, CA. Remote ok. Klatu Networks (www.klatunetworks.com): A wireless sensor networking startup that focuses in biotech monitoring. We are a small, bootstrapped, profitable start up. We are very selective on our hiring so you will only be working with other great engineers.

The most important requirements is to be passionate about creating software and be able to quickly grasp new technologies. Other requirements include strong knowledge of Javacript, experience with Ruby, Java, SQL, Git.

Contact me directly if you are interested, email is in my profile.

Are you looking for a full-time, yet remote employee or would you be amenable to someone doing this in addition to a full-time job? I have a child on the way and can't drop or switch my insurance at this stage, but this sounds interesting and lines up with my academic background far more than most of the work I do.
We are pretty flexible if the fit is good. I sent you an email to dig into it a little more.
All right - I'll get back to you this evening. Thanks for the heads up.
