PRODUCT LEAD or SECURITY RESEARCHER

Our M.O.: take a strong systems dev, strap them into a chair, force their eyelids open with little metal braces, and dropper saline into their eyes while forcing them to watch Eric S. Raymond videos. Competence + bloodlust = excellence in security research.

Here I'm supposed to tell you that "building something people want is overrated". It is. But building things is fun, and we have something particularly fun to build.

Want to run a new product team for a thriving company packed to the gills with people smarter and more well-balanced than me? Our product domains: Appsec. Bare-metal HTTP. Scale (storage, network, compute). Your qualifications: Can ship, can get on the phone with customers.

Interested? We'll tell you more on the phone.

We've never taken a dollar of funding. We've been profitable and growing for years. HN has been one of our best hiring vectors. You can't waste my time. tqbf - matasano.com.

I did some work in Thomas' Chicago office with them this summer. If I were looking for a day job, I wouldn't be looking for a day job any more: they're friendly, happy people who get social license to join the Dark Side, do smart stuff all day, and then go home while it is still light out. --'patio11

Feel like you're too nice to your software? Too ready to suppress your impulse to rip the faceplate off your gear, expose the bare wires, and jumper random things together to see what blows up? Our intensive program may be for you.

Let it go without saying: if you're interested in being a security researcher, we're a fantastic place to do it. We build hypervisors, test chipsets, write debuggers, and get to dig ourselves into the Tauntaun carcasses of the world's most interesting applications. We are always looking for security researchers. If you like: you bring some systems programming game, and we'll supply the appsec training.

What do you mean by "bringing systems programming game"? What kind of experience would qualify?

We work in a lot of different application domains; the common denominator is "low level". So:

* If you're interested in web security, you'd want to be conversant in protocol-level HTTP; a good acid test might be "could quickly implement chunked encoding".

* If you're interested in OS security, you'd want to be conversant in virtual memory management and system call interfaces; a good acid test might be "could implement the userland side of a system call without using the library stubs".

* If you're interested in software security, you'd want to be conversant in C/C++.

If you're interested in security research at all, feel free to email me. You can't waste my time. The only reason any of these technical items are here is that we hope they'll be attractive to the people we want to hire; we're not trying to disqualify anyone.

This does sound interesting, unfortunately I fall just short of being able to implement chunked encoding, so maybe in the future!

EDIT: I am no longer unable to implement chunked encoding. That wasn't complicated at all. I have no idea why I'm telling you all.

You may find this is the case with a lot of topics commonly considered 'black magic' - the real determinant IMO is whether you enjoy work that requires a high attention to detail! :)

That's true, I just thought the protocol would be more esoteric and with more corner cases than that :)

Did you enjoy figuring that out and making it work? That's pretty much the whole job, except, replace "chunked encoding" with "every warped undocumented proprietary protocol anyone has ever built", and replace the payoff of "now I know how chunked coding works" to "now I can make withdrawals from other people's bank accounts".

It was quite enjoyable, but I suspect that finding how undocumented protocols work by changing a value here or there to see how the transmission changes is much more exciting...

I know this is probably a bit early for it, but is there any chance of internship positions being open for this coming summer?

WE LOVE INTERNS. When you're ready, we're ready. Drop me a line.

Forward Internet Group in London, UK: http://www.forward.co.uk

We're a young entrepreneurial company that bootstrapped its way from its founder bedroom to a 150-strong company with very healthy profits in 6 years without any external capital.

We are behind uswitch.com, getinvisiblehand.com, omio.com, justcages.co.uk, petvillas.co.uk, forward3d.co.uk etc.

You can take a look at who we are and what we do at http://www.forwardtechnology.co.uk.

One of our guys created statefulapp.com during the recent Rails Rumble (been on the frontpage of HN recently), many others contribute to open source.

We have been doubling our revenues every single year (up to £100m in 2010) and plan to continue to do it as long as possible. So, we need great people!

We're looking for great developers (and many other roles too) to work on a variety of exciting online projects. We use Clojure, Ruby, Hadoop, Node.js, Sinatra etc.

Above all we're looking for smart, ambitious, entrepreneurial people. Full job spec is here: http://www.forward.co.uk/careers or here: http://www.forwardtechnology.co.uk/

And it's fun to work here: you choose the hardware you want, you buy the books you need, the hours are flexible, no dress code, the people are reasonable and the entertainment budget is generous: for example the entire company hangs out in Las Vegas night clubs and casinos for 4 days every December and we've just returned from Disneyland in Paris (birthday celebrations).

Web Engineer -- SeatGeek -- New York, NY

http://seatgeek.com/main/lamp_developer/

We're looking for a generalist web engineer who is super-hungry and sees building web apps as more than just a job. We're a data-driven web app that's trying to use analytics and exceptional UX to making buying event tickets a wholly better experience. #Python #PHP #MySQL #MongoDB #Javascript

Competitive comp, outstanding benefits, and a team that has a lot of fun together. Only looking for folks in NYC.

Our job application process involves a series of (hopefully) quick mini-puzzles. Details here: http://seatgeek.com/blog/hiring/henceforth-all-job-applicant...

Americas and Europe (remote): SpiderOak is looking for help in engineering, marketing, and customer service.

Since 2006, SpiderOak provides an easy, consolidated free online backup, sync, sharing, access & storage solution for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux with a zero-knowledge approach to customer privacy. We use Python, Django, web.py, WSGI, jQuery, PostgreSQL, nginx, and varnish, with some occasional heavy-lifting help from C and Erlang.

SpiderOak is a distributed, virtual company - we all set our own work schedule and work from home, coffee shops, or anywhere that can provide a stable Internet connection. We coordinate via Wikis, IRC, email, telepathy, and even face-to-face when possible. We don't bother with time sheets or other types of wage accounting -- we're a tight enough group that it would be obvious if someone wasn't doing her or his job.

We've noticed that some of the most accomplished people we know don't necessarily have polished or extensive resumes. As such, we don't care about formal education, age, gender, geographic location, resume, etc. We like smart people who love what they do and do it really well. Period.

The rest of the story is here: https://spideroak.com/blog/20101030125548-spideroak-is-growi...

I'm a little surprised at the number of "no remote" in this thread. I've done some great work remotely, and with the right tools I think a team can "gel" and really work well together. Any comments?

"I'm a little surprised at the number of "no remote" in this thread. I've done some great work remotely, and with the right tools I think a team can "gel" and really work well together. Any comments?"

In my experience, remote work is offered to specific individuals who are already known to the people making the offer - through a shared work history, impressive open source contributions, a recommendation by a trusted person, unique knowledge/skillsets etc. You don't generally see ads for these.

People who put out generic ads looking for fairly generic skill sets etc, have plenty of choice locally and/or don't know anyone, remote or otherwise, who could fill that position. They are, in a sense just throwing an ad out there (or a post on HN), hoping to find someone who'll come into the office and work locally. Why go through the hassle of wading through the thousands of resumes you'll get from all over the world (and you will!), 99.99% of which are crap ?

I get approached for remote work all the time. Partly this is because I have a somewhat uncommon skill set and partly because I know/have worked with a lot of ultra sharp people and they remember me when they need someone. Most of the time I have to turn them down because I am already on a project and so not free - which is a common situation. As with "normal" jobs, the people you want often have great jobs/projects already and have no intention of "moving".

Fwiw, I know half a dozen or so people here in Bangalore who are working remotely for companies in the USA. In every case remote work was offered to them (no one ever sent in a CV) because they were known to be very good at what they do and had no intention of moving to San Fransisco (or wherever).

Remote work can be a win-win but a distributed team has a very different feel than a collocated one and not many people want the hassle - and it is a hassle if you aren't willing to change your working style.

Things seem to be changing though. A really strong dev can get (great) remote work with some effort these days. The very best, say Lars Bak, have never had any problems working from wherever they choose to. As with many things, demand and supply determines everything.

Fwiw, my advice to folks seeking remote work is Be very good, and be known to be very good (iow focus on what you know and who you know) and you will never lack for work, remote or otherwise.

I think your probably right, most companies perceive remote working as a bigger hassle than the regular work environment, which is a great shame.

I've been remote working full time for 6 years and I feel that its made me more productive and motivated than working in an office ever could.

Now that now that I've started to look to progress my career further this kind of perception makes it very difficult for me to make the next step.

Stop whining about not able to work remotely. If you can work remotely why don't you just go to India and work from there?

There should be a separate post for remote/freelance jobs. All the jobs posted here are in the US, and I'm sure there's plenty of talented foreigners lurking on HN.

GREAT idea. Just posted it here: http://bit.ly/bc55gi.

I've been working remotely for going on 3 years.

Successfully working remotely, with a team, is more effort. The barrier to communication is higher; there is more inertia to overcome. When collocated, you can just shout out to the room, "Hey, does someone know about X?". When remote, it's often a chat room of some form instead. There's a little more effort required.

In my book, one requirement of a remote (team) worker is that he be at least a bit extroverted. My experience has been that less extroverted developers find themselves quickly out of the loop. I believe this is because they don't seek out interaction with other team members and so fall out of sync with the team.

The lack of physical presence can put a strain on relationships. Sight unseen, it is so easy to project unintended meaning onto the text, or speech of colleagues (granted, we do this in-person as well but to a lesser degree).

Body language provides real cues that are missing from remote communication. I try to resolve this by meeting colleagues/clients early in the process to help build that relationship.

When you put the communication part aside, there is the question of motivation. I've also found that some people, when working remotely, tend to backslide and become less productive. I believe this to be due to the lack of implicit peer pressure of seeing your colleagues working. Or, to put it bluntly, a lack of solid work ethic.

When remote working, there is less (micro-)management. No one is looking over your shoulder. For some people, remote pairing can help here.

Ultimately, there is no substitute for a deeply engrained need to ship. Either you've got it or you don't. If you don't, you're probably not going to be a good remote worker.

Boston & London

youDevise is a small financial-software firm with development teams in London, England and Boston, Massachussetts, committed to learning and improvement as well as great web software. We're hiring developers, QA staff, operations team members, 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 the right people move to London or Boston.

I know a few guys who might be able to help out, but I can't find what languages you're working in on your site ;)

Your Developer site mentions Hibernate and Tomcat, so I'm assuming you're a java shop?

Cloudkick, San Francisco CA. Currently all FT positions are intended to be on-location.

A YC Company from W09, we are hacking up server monitoring and management space. (Both cloud and non-cloud).

Our tech is mostly Python based, with a spattering of Java, C, C++, Lua, and Node.js. We love fast product cycles, shipping features early, so we can get the customer feedback loop going as quickly as possible.

Positions:

* Frontend Web Developer: We started out with inline JQuery, but all new features are built around using the Google Closure library. We are moving towards a much more complete client side user experience, and busy building out widgets for many components. Love hacking on the Frotnend, come check us out!

* Customer Engineer: A combination of customer advocate and a generalist that can hack on any part of the Cloudkick system. We want someone who can both talk to customers, and then go fix their top issues the same day. 90% Python hacking, in both a Django and Twisted environments, but can include C/C++/Lua/Node.js if desired.

* Deployment Developer: Cloudkick is known for Monitoring, but we are doing something different with Deployment. This position will probably be about 80% hacking in Node.js code, and 20% in Python. Experience in distributed systems / p2p / large scale server management are all major major pluses.

* Inside Sales Rep: We are B2B startup, offering a SaaS product to the world, and we need help making and converting customers. Simple enough right :)

* Ops / Developer Internship (Paid!): Experience in Django or other open source projects are big pluses, but the biggest thing we look for is a drive to learn new things, more than anything.

I'm not hiring, but people have founds posts about my site helpful in previous threads.

I run One Day, One Job: http://www.onedayonejob.com/

The focus is on entry level jobs, but the content consists of company profiles, so it's useful to pretty much anyone looking for a job at at any level.

Here are all of the companies that we've featured with positions in Web Development: http://www.onedayonejob.com/entry-level-jobs/web-development...

And in Software Development (lots of overlap): http://www.onedayonejob.com/entry-level-jobs/software-develo...

We feature tons of non-technical stuff too. There are over 1,000 company profiles—all editorial.

To those downvoting, please specify why. Personally, I can see that parent post shouldn't be here, but a suggestion on where to post it would be helpful so that others don't repeat the same mistake.

Thanks for posting this. In the Summer Jobs thread, a similar post of mine received quite a few upvotes. I figured that people looking for jobs found it helpful, so I was inclined to try it again.

I'm not downvoting the post, but the service does sound kind of gimmicky. And also, more than a bit off-topic, in that most of the job offerings posted here are far above internship or entry-level.

I think this thread should focus only on actual job posts. There are thousands of job websites and tools out there, it's not the purpose of this thread.

PBworks (San Mateo, CA) has 3 openings. We're an online collaboration tool for education and business, used by 4 million people a month. We're looking for:

* A talented Front-End Web Engineer who can lead the development of new features and refresh existing ones. PHP, JavaScript, usability and UI design skills are ideal. http://pbworks.com/content/jobs-frontendwebengineer

* A Systems Engineer who can help architect, build, and test back-end systems that will help us scale from 4 million users to 40 million users. Deep knowledge of one interpreted language -- ideally PHP -- would be great. http://pbworks.com/content/jobs-systemsengineer

* We're also looking for a Designer who can help us with the aesthetic and visual aspects of the product's user interface. We'd like a designer who wants to take charge usability testing and building products with excellent function, not just flash. http://pbworks.com/content/jobs-designer

If you're interested in any of these, drop me an email -- my email address is in my HN profile.

What happened to http://www.pbworks.com design :/ ? IMHO, the last version was much better.

As the person largely responsible for the implementation of the current design, let me put it this way: you did notice that one of those positions is for a designer, right?

We're hiring nothing but remote developers from around the globe here at deviantART. We also have flexible schedules. I'm probably biased, but I think we have some of the best web developers in the world because of this.

Our existing development team is already distributed, so all of our systems and workflow are already setup to handle remote development and different timezones. We have a lot of technical challenges to solve and interesting projects, so if you think you have what it takes: http://deviantart.theresumator.com/apply/eR4wR2/

Yellowknife, NT, Canada. No remote.

SSi Micro is hiring great hackers. Are you smart, motivated, and interested in working on awesome software optimized for our world-class, unique, and super-cool satellite network? Then come and be a propellerhead at our awesome, small company. We work with the coolest stuff (right now, we're building a web provisioning/portal interface to our new video conferencing offering in Node.js--and it's awesome).

www.ssimicro.com/jobs

We're a little company based in Yellowknife, the capital city of the Northwest Territories. We deliver broadband satellite internet to 61 of the most remote communities on earth, and now that our network's up and running (although we're investing heavily in upgrading it), we're busy building great software for our customers, optimized specifically for our unique network.

Recently, we built a file sharing webapp called Qfile. (Check it out: http://qfile.ca -- Free 60 day trial!). Why not just use dropbox, you ask? Well, our network is pretty unique: all our traffic is bounced off a satellite, and round-trip latency of ~600ms (which is because of the horrible limitation of the speed of light, which we are constantly working to exceed) means that we have to do things a little differently.

Yellowknife's not as cold as you think, and the 24-hours-of-daylight summers are not to be missed.

If you're interested and game, we'll make an offer really easy to accept: We'll get and pay for your apartment, a car if you need it, and pay you atop that. We'll do all that for up to three months while you evaluate us and the north, so that it's risk- and hassle-free for you to come to a really great, unique company in an awesome little city.

- Own the front-end. Create an experience that makes users forget they're on the web.

Charlotte, VT EatingWell Media Group. www.eatingwell.com

No remote, sorry.

Seeking Developer / Sysadmin to maintain www.eatingwell.com and develop internal and external facing software.

Our flagship site is Drupal/PHP with most of our new tools rolling out in Python.

Compensation is competitive for the area, we are a dog friendly office, the test kitchen has a constant stream of goodies flowing out of it, and we are in beautiful, rural Vermont, just 30 or so minutes to Burlington, a very hip little city.

There is quite a bit of room for growth here as our side of the business is growing rapidly and there is not a lot of experience in tech in the higher ups in the company.

This is both good and bad, as I am constantly fighting against naive decisions/ideas from upper management, but good because I am often winning.

A smart, relaxed, outdoor loving hacker with some degree of people skills will be very very happy here.

Please add a 'g' to front of my user name and an 'f' to the end, @eatingwell.com

Mac OS X/iOS Software Test Pilot

Seattle, WA (Sorry, no telecommute/remote work opportunities right now.)

Us: a Seattle software company that's been around since 1989. Back then, we wrote code for NeXTStep; these days, we make highly-regarded productivity applications for Mac OS X & iOS.

You: someone who can make guesses about how a website or application is going to fail, prove that you're right, and then communicate it clearly and effectively to the folks who need to fix it. Ideally, you also have the ability to predict the things about our products that will confuse or dismay a new customer.

As an example of what we do, imagine we have four months to write, test, and ship two applications on a brand-new hardware platform (with no specimens of said hardware in the building) while still updating and maintaining our released products on both platforms. Could you keep up without going totally crazy in the process?

If so, we'd like to hear from you — we're looking to expand our QA department by adding another Software Test Pilot.

For more information about us, including how to apply for this job, please check out the "Company" section of our website, which is at http://www.omnigroup.com/company/.

Exablox is a data storage company, replacing the traditional storage stack with an integrated experience across local and web storage.

Yup, we're hiring (yes this is redundant ;)

We're a founding team of 3: two systems software guys and a biz guy from an embedded mobile OS company (no, not that one).

Exablox is looking for 2-3 more engineers to fill the following roles (and are psyched if you can crossover between them)

Web folks: Both frontend and backend. You'll be responsible for designing and implementing our online app. This is a great opportunity to leverage your experience with the latest and greatest technologies to build a brand new type of storage app.

Systems folks: You must be well versed in systems software or application design and implementation in C (yes you read correctly!), filesystem experience a plus but not required. The ideal candidate is well versed in POSIX APIs, and isn't afraid to get their hands dirty inside the Linux kernel if necessary. This is the ideal opportunity to help craft the next gen storage stack

Various opportunities available: full time ($$+equity), contract ($$), and internship/co-op ($$)

Portland, OR

AboutUs is hiring.

http://www.aboutus.org/AboutUs.org/Jobs

We're a good team looking for at least one new member. We're a Rails shop but you'll have to bring a lot more than Rails chops to make the cut.

AboutUs is a startup, but it's a very stable startup. The company has been around for four years and is venture backed. Many of us have families and all of us have lives outside of work.

We write a lot of code. We pair. We test. We deploy to a live site many times each day. We also wrestle daily against a tough legacy codebase and awkward (but improving!) infrastructure. Greenfield hackers won't dig it; refactoring hackers will.

The job is onsite (no telecommute) in Portland, Oregon. Many of us bike to work. There is weekly yoga. Daily ping pong. I think we have a vegan around here somewhere. And sometimes beer mysteriously appears in the fridge.

GazeHawk (YC S10) is still hiring. Send joe or brian at gazehawk.com an email!

We're based in Mountain View, but not doing remote work at this time though. Sorry.

TripAdvisor in Newton, MA. No remote, sorry.

We are looking for interns and full-time in a variety of areas:

Product

If you see it on the TripAdvisor site it was built by Product. Everything our visitors see, interact with and love is built by this team. Learn how to keep 40e6 monthly visitors happy while stretching into areas of automated content summarization, deep social integration, building hugely-multi-platform handheld apps, serving 10M photos or to manage a billion pins worth of travel data generated by our users. Every project coming out of Product is carefully tuned to make our users happy and make TripAdvisor the best place to do travel research. We've got more ideas than engineers to build them.

Content Integrity/Fraud

TripAdvisor currently has over 35 million reviews written by our members, and the volume of reviews being submitted is continually increasing. The CI team works to to integrate automated systems based on artificial intelligence, machine learning, and statistical natural language processing into our software to provide new capabilities for automated document classification, categorization, summarization, and recommendation. We focus on the real-world application of new technology to provide significant improvements in the efficiency and profitability of our business, and in the features available to our users.

SEO

TripAdvisor has the world's best SEO. Type in the name of pretty much any hotel in the world and we're on the front page of Google. The SEO team understands how to build pages so that robots and crawlers can read them cleanly. In doing so, we're able to use our unique content to get top rankings and appear in front of huge numbers of users. As part of the SEO team, you'll help to run experiments to learn how better to present our content to robots and extend our mastery into new domains.

Commerce

Having attracted traffic to TripAdvisor, we need to turn those visitors into tracked outbound links to each of our partners. Serious money flows through the fingers of the Commerce team as they identify how to direct traffic to the best targets to make our two sets of customers (visitors & partners) happy.

APAC

The APAC team grew the site from 0 to 4MM users in a year to replicate TripAdvisor's success in the most populous country with the fastest growing economy and Internet penetration rate. What makes it challenging is working with a distributed engineering team and system that is located more than 6000 miles away. Toe help develop and operate daodao.com, it'd help if you were fluent in Chinese.
