Ask HN: Who Is Hiring Remote Workers? (February 2011 Edition)
Similar to the "Who is Hiring" thread but, please remote positions only.
Our goal is to revolutionize software development. Our founder is a pioneer of social networking and founding investor in Napster. Our angel investors include Internet entrepreneurs who have sold their startups to Google (pre-IPO), Microsoft, Yahoo, Fox, etc.
Technologies we use include Python, Google App Engine, Django, AJAX. Math ability is a plus. We're looking for developers, and also help with analytically oriented usability/design.
Existing team is based in Panama, and we're mainly looking at recruiting in Latin America and possibly India.
Folks with other technical backgrounds are welcome. The bar is a bit higher = we are more selective on that. Really we are looking for some web application experience, otherwise the learning curve is a bit too long, generally. [ We have more flexibility on that for in-country-Panama members. ]
So if you don't have Python, but you have Java/Ruby/PHP/Web, that sounds interesting. I would recommend someone with mainly C/Unix start building some websites and webapps of their own w/ something like Python and App Engine (little plug: request an invite to our beta for one way to get started with that). In this day and age, if you really want to be in a startup-oriented environment, it should be difficult for you to not be creating some web apps with these tech's on your own etc.
Later on we may have more flexiblity when our team is larger.
We have brought on board some great back-end developers, and as I write this, mainly would be interested in adding a front-end developer (Ajax/Python) and a designer (who can go from design to html/css/images, and ideally has some analytical orientation towards a/b testing etc)
Thank you to all who have written to us! We appreciate your time.
Blue Gecko is a remote DBA services company. We're looking for intermediate to expert MySQL or PostgreSQL DBAs. Although our headquarters is in Seattle, many of our DBAs work at home full time, and our corporate culture is configured to accommodate remote workers. Since we operate 24/7 we need folks in every timezone.

We build tools that help musicians succeed. Bandzoogle launched in 2003 with the idea that if we can help bands make money, they would sign up. It worked, and we've been profitable and growing every month since.
We just re-wrote our app in Ruby (from terrible, terrible Coldfusion) using today's best practices, and have some big plans for new features.
Aside from working on fun projects for musicians, we offer great pay + profit sharing bonuses, reimbursement of home office expenses and education materials (including conferences), and fun yearly meetups. Next one is in Montreal for the Jazz festival.

Location is unimportant, but we are looking for someone who is fairly self-directed and can do both design and implementation. If you're only good at implementation, get in touch anyway since we might still have something for you to do once in a while.
If interested, drop me a line at filipe <at> treesaver |dot| net -- please include a link to a portfolio (or work samples) as well as your rates.
http://www.thinkcomputer.com/corporate/jobs/index.html is the best way to apply.

See, being tolerant towards psyche-affecting material is only cool up until the party, where irreversible data/PR/marketing loss commences, reversing the hard work of multiple month.
TL;DR: know your limits
Seeking a Lead Programmer who is an expert with RoR, HTML, CSS, Javascript. Generous salary + equity. Opportunity to be a founder if you're the right fit.
Imagine having your own personal R2D2 that lives on your phone and helps you make life’s little decisions, like picking a restaurant, selecting a wine, deciding when/where to surf, where to find fun nightlife, etc. You trust it to always be looking out for your best interests. That’s basically what we’re building. We've been developing our technology and user experience for over three years and the response from our initial beta release has been overwhelmingly positive. Everybody loves what we've built and they want more.
"We are extremely flexible in both location (ask me about my last 9 months travelling around the world) and how you distribute your working hours, so we should be able to accommodate pretty much anyone that is both human and living on planet Earth."
