Looking for companies that write technologically interesting software. If you are writing a collaborative text editing system, for example. I have deep knowledge of the quirks and features of modern browser APIs.
I am a generalist and most of my work is reviewable and open source, some of which is on Github [1]. I do not marry myself to a specific framework or stack, but currently use Javascript primarily. I can occasionally do the long hours stretch but prefer a good work-like balance and enjoy my time off. I can work without ego issues and with a cool head.
I have a bunch of good experience in designing document editing systems from scratch, and have special experience in writing eventually consistent collaborative editing tools using OT, being one of the primary developers of WebODF [2].
I can write a rich collaborative editing engine for you, but cannot properly live-code in a collabedit interview session due to performance anxiety - writing software should be a craft and not a stage show. If you can understand that and trust my open source experience, email me and we can talk.

Longer story:
-------------
Born, growing up.
Multi-faceted web developer, able to effectively communicate at every level from the CEO to the young intern, and with every specialist from the graphic designer to the backend developer.
My top specialization is in UX – but not graphic – design, which I just can't think of without a Mobile First approach. I'm also a natural born catalyst when it comes to good ideas and the next tech trends, bringing a creative and focused drive to the table of every team I've been part of.
Always in the process of learning the next skill. Excellent command of written English, professional work proficiency in spoken English.
Able to seamlessly switch from being a team manager to becoming yet another dev in another team, and working 110% in either situation for the common goal.

Me: US citizen currently in Italy, relocating to Boulder or Ft. Collins, Colorado at some point over the next year.
My wife, just in case anyone has any contacts/connections/knowledge: Phd in biochemistry and interested in getting a foot in the door doing proteomics/protein purification/mass spectometry in industry. There are a bundle of Rails jobs in Colorado, so I'm not too worried about my own prospects, but if I helped her find something, I would be extremely happy.

Fullstack developer - Ideally looking to work more on the backend but I am flexible.
Backend: Node.js, Redis, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB. PHP (Haven't done anything interesting in PHP in well over a year) - Laravel & CI. Recently started learning Go. Some Java.
Frontend: JavaScript [angular, backbone, jQuery, etc], grunt, bower, SASS (or LESS)
Other: Very comfortable in *nix, bash scripting, nginx/apache, and general server/database administration. I've briefly used both vagrant and docker.
Me: I graduated in May with a degree in biology. Why? I thought I wanted to be a doctor. I've been programming since I was nine or ten years old, I first started using GWBASIC on my dad's IBM 286. I've tinkered with a lot of languages since then. After deciding against pursuing med school at the beginning of my junior year I became the technical co-founder of a healthcare technology company focused on streamlining consumer product distribution. Now I'm looking for a position where I can work on difficult problems with people smarter than myself who I will be able to learn from.

Looking for work in interesting companies that need help with their marketing (growth stage), data (what they can do with it) and business (models and revenue streams).
I am a Creative Strategist helping companies to grow and connect better with their customers. This is done in a variety of different ways from helping companies understand what they can do with their data to setting up partnerships to branding strategy to business modelling and so on...
This week I'm working with Amnesty International running a social media marketing campaign for them gathering opinions on internet rights and digital censorship. I'm also an advisor/mentor to startups at the University of Oxford, at the Launchpad labs incubator and for several charities. I also help to organise different hackathons so my network is quite diverse and whilst I'm in a marketing and business strategy role, I have a tech background in Computer Science, Bioinformatics, Statistics and data.

I'm a software engineering generalist, but my skills run pretty deep in both systems engineering and embedded programming. I'm comfortable working at any level from handful-of-KB bare-metal microcontrollers to Linux kernel drivers to complex multithreaded application design, and I enjoy the variety of working in multiple domains.
My most extensive experience is in block storage peripherals. I've written drivers for a variety of storage protocols and I've designed and built the software architecture for products that move data from storage device A to storage device B at improbably high speeds. But I'm not really looking to get pinned down as a "block storage guy," and would prefer to branch out in a different direction and learn some new technologies along the way. Maybe you have something interesting?
I'm not really looking for yet-another-web-startup opportunities. An attractive position will have challenging problems to solve, a meaningful product to deliver, and a team of smart engineers getting it done. It might involve a physical hardware component, but that's not a requirement. If you are building something on a Node stack, you should be prepared for me to not take you seriously.
Bonus points for use of functional programming languages with strong static type systems.
Hah, reminds me of the same thing happening to the ID Software team, as recounted in the Masters of Doom book.
Remote: Yes.

I'm a mere 14 days from reaching the end of my PhD (http://www.markbrown.io/research) and I'm looking to find a great job to sink my teeth into. I've been using Python daily in my work for 3 years. I've also worked with C++ (Geant4). I'm currently reading SICP in what spare time I have. I'm no stranger to maths or statistics. My ideal role will have interesting & hard problems to work with.

My native language is Spanish, but I speak fluent English. I don't really mind the sector the company operates within, in fact, I'd like the company to operate in a B2B oriented sector.
I am and have been a technology agnostic web engineer for the past 10 years. I've worked for both large companies and startups on projects as diverse as B2B marketplaces and online video games, some of which have brought in millions of dollars in revenue.
The areas in which I create tangible value include fast implementation of customer facing application features, services integration and internal tooling. I can work across all layers of a tech stack myself or work with specialized teams (ie: a database team, a backend team, etc). Whatever it takes to get the job done.
Remote: Yes & Only
Willing to Relocate: No
Technologies: Python, PHP, Lua, C, Javascript, Prolog, some Java. Unix, MVC (various experience with different web frameworks).
