I'm lead engineer and on the founding team of CoachUp[1], and we're looking for a fulltime rails dev or two. We recently raised a Series A[2] and I need some help chewing through the features on our product roadmap.
We're a small team so you'd have a huge influence on the direction of the company. We're looking for someone with a lot of rails-specific experience (the gem ecosystem, and the "rails way" of doing things, etc.). We've been working with thoughtbot for a couple months so our process, code style, etc, is heavily based on their way of doing things.
Benefits include:
* Highly competitive salary, + equity
* Full health and dental coverage
* Flexible work hours
* Chance of bumping into celebrity pro-athletes.
Full disclosure, (and maybe I shouldn't say this hereabouts), but we're a TechStars company (F12). ;-)
If you're interested, my email is in my HN account info. Please include "HN" in the subject.

There are many jobs open at Bloomberg, but I'm particularly looking for intelligent software engineers and UX professionals to work under the CTO and Infrastructure team in R&D. We do a huge variety of things and we like to run our teams with a startup results-driven feel.
We are primary consumers of billions of incoming pieces of data daily and redistribute it to over 180 countries on one of the largest private networks in the world, producing software which provides discovery, analytics, visualization and much more.
Contact me if you want to discuss at andrew@ishiboo.com.
If you want to chat in person, we are a sustaining sponsor of NYTM and are at all the meetups. and we'll have a few people at JSConf in May. Also, Matt Turck @ Bloomberg Ventures runs the NY Data Business Meetup at our offices every month and I'm usually there.
I'm sure not all of you guys are like this but I applied for the Graduate R&D Financial Software Development Engineer program a couple months back in your London office and the telephone interview went great but the face-to-face interviews were an absolute farce.
Prior to the face to face interviews, I confirmed Java as my language of choice (simply because I knew my C knowledge was little and wasn't up to scratch at the time and was told that Java would be absolutely fine for the interview) but the first pair of face to face interviewers insisted on C based questions (i'd only had a little bit of C experience) which was nerve wracking.
The icing on the cake was during my second face to face interview session on the same day, whilst answering the primary programming question, my interviewer decided it would be more appropriate to check his work email on his phone rather than listen to me talk and go through the problem (again in C where I tripped up slightly on malloc'ing memory but managed to solve with a bit of umming and ahhing in the end). It wasn't even a quick glance, he spent most of the time I took to work on the problem checking his email. I'm still not sure what to make of this because personally to me this was probably the most unprofessional/rudest thing that's ever happened to me at an interview. I wouldn't even dare to pull out my phone during an interview and I expect the interviewer to have the same courtesy unless it's an emergency.
It was a decent experience and your offices (at least in London) are lovely but if you are looking for C/C++ specific graduate developers/engineers then that should've been made clear.
Feel free to email me with any questions (email in profile).

Hubbub is saving independent food shops by letting people order online when they can't get to the shops themselves. We mask the complexity of ordering from lots of separate shops and allow customers to place a single order online and receive all their weekly shopping in one go. It's good for the shops because it lets them reach a wider audience, and it's good for our busy customers because it allows them to support their local community.
We're looking for two developers, who will double the size of our current team, to work on our Rails based website and supporting applications. Ruby experience is a plus, but we're very happy to take on people without direct experience if they know how to learn - our second developer hadn't written any Ruby before starting with us. More details, including how to apply, are at http://developers.hubbub.co.uk/
