What We Do: At Opzi, we're building real-time business collaboration software. Our first product aims to change the way people share knowledge within a team or company.
Founders & Funding: Euwyn (from Vancouver) was Cornell CS '04, JD from Cornell Law '07. Ambert was Stanford EE '06. Funded by Y Combinator, Ron Conway, First Round Capital, Paul Buchheit (creator of Gmail) and many others.
Tech Stack: Rails, Node, Backbone (lots of JS).
Who We're Looking For: We're mostly impressed by what you've made rather than the grades you earned in school. You should have a strong demonstrated interest in modern web development (i.e. have some projects and/or a Github account to show) as well as an ability to learn quickly and work independently. Ruby and Javascript experience would be great, but no sweat if you're more comfortable in C++ or Python.
How to Apply: Complete 1 or 2 of the programming challenges at the URL below, and send to euwyn@opzi.com, along with a quick email with a little bit about why you're interested.

We have openings for software engineers in Petaluma, Vancouver, and Dallas with options for remote work.
You’ll have the opportunity to work with Python, Django, Cassandra, RabbitMQ, Google Web Toolkit (GWT), HTML5, and WebGL on small team in a fast-paced environment.
We design/develop/scale an interactive mapping platform. Our early products were all about superimposing cell phone coverage for carriers on a world map for them to embed in their websites. Now we have a platform for in-browser comparative analysis of arbitrary spatial information. We currently load it up with information about the wireless, cable, and telecom industries.
I'm looking for talented engineers who can get down and dirty with optimization, configuration management, distributed systems, or architecture design.
Stuff you'll be fooling with: Solr, HDFS, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Chef, EC2, Javascript, Ruby, and C. Knowledge of Pacemaker/Heartbeat, Chubby/ZooKeeper, AMQP, Flume/Scribe, BigTable/Dynamo inspired systems, or Scala is a plus.
We also have a position open for a junior developer if these are things you find interesting and you're willing to learn. That position would be more focused on Javascript and Rails work initially.

We're former SeedCamp and FBFund participants, currently profitable and working out of the Presidio with a great view of the Golden Gate Bridge.
You would work directly with me on the full stack, including server maintenance, deployment, ruby/rails development, javascript, and design. You don't have to be an expert in any of that, just be ready to learn.
Part-time remote work is ok, and starting remotely is an option if you're not in SF yet.
email me (kevin@) if interested, please include "HN Job Post" in the title.
We're a data-driven search engine for sports and concert tickets. We're trying to use analytics and exceptional UX to make buying event tickets a wholly better experience.
We currently have a four-person dev team, but everyone prefers to work on the backend. We're looking for someone to come in and own the frontend of the web app, which will involve creating interfaces in Photoshop, brining them to life in HTML/CSS, and (ideally, but not necessarily) doing some Javascript work.
More details here: http://seatgeek.com/jobs/frontend/
By focusing on those that use OS X we can narrow down the applicant pool and spend more time with folks that are likely to be a good fit.
We're a startup who build business software. Our web app, ClaimAble, is for insurance claims management. It runs on Rails and MongoDB and we're looking for a kickass Rails developer to help us out. It would be ideal if you're a mean Ruby-coding-machine, but even better if you have an interest in the business development and creative side of things too!
For more info and application details: http://www.claim-able.com/jobs.html
London based is preferred, although we'd consider a remote position for the right person.
Here is some market data http://www.itjobswatch.co.uk/jobs/uk/ruby%20on%20rails.do Bear in mind that the real "rockstars" are likely to be freelancing.
I'll rethink my strategy!
We are a fulltext search API that powers sites such as Reddit, Twitvid, blip.tv and many others.
We are looking for an engineer to help us improve the UX of IndexTank's customers, and to build the tools to help them do the same for their users. This is both UI and backend work.
Languages: Java, Python, Ruby, Javascript. We run on AWS and working on supporting other cloud providers.

LinkUp Job Search Engine is looking for a stellar PHP programmer to help with our growing pains. Email me at eric at linkup.com if you have questions, or read more & apply at http://linkup.jobs/?p=showJob&ID=1817.
But Eric, why is this explanation so brief? Well, because if you're reading HN and aren't a "it is fashionable to dislike PHP" person, you're already 50% of the candidate we want!
I help manage user growth there so I can tell you with pretty strong certainty there is no better opportunity. Dropbox has very few people but is running at a huge scale already.
A very good indicator of how cool the coders at Dropbox are is the challenges page that they use for hiring engineers: http://www.dropbox.com/jobs/challenges. That awesomeness is why everyone should keep their RSS feed handy!
And I say this because I love the product. I'm just not at all interested in living in California.
email me if you're interested: ivan@dropbox.com
Remote work is a definite possibility, but in-person is highly preferred. We are looking for full-timers and interns.
Factual aims to be the place where people meet to share, improve, and mash-up data. We have an awesome team that is still fairly small, and an incredible CEO (he was the co-founder of Applied Semantics, which was sold to Google and became AdSense). We recently raised a Series A from Andreessen-Horowitz, and our customers include Facebook (we provide some of their Places data) and Newsweek. We have lots of challenging problems to work on at all layers of the stack: data cleaning and canonicalization, deduping, storage, serving, APIs, etc. If you love data, Factual is the place to be.
We're looking for awesome Java generalists. Bonus points for experience with MapReduce, developing NoSQL datastores and/or machine learning.

What do we is sell apparel online (mostly geared towards women), that can be customized using our web-based design center. The main technologies are Perl/Flash/Javascript/HTML5 in an EC2 Linux/MySQL environment, although of course desire and ability to learn is fine in lieu of having experience with these specific technologies.
It's a fairly laid back work environment, and since the team (and company) is small, technical experimentation and lack of bureaucracy is pretty much the norm. We have several new initiatives in the works, so that's why we need to hire another developer.
Any involvement in development activities outside of work is a definite plus. Feel free to visit our website, take a look around, and send your info to jobs@eretailing.com if you're interested...
Will join to Netsparker (black-box web application security scanner) development team
