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.
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.
Right now, we're building 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. SSi is so cool that when we won a government contract to do "time-shifted file transfers", we decided that we /could/ meet our contractual obligations with a few weeks of work/testing, but instead we're building a wicked webapp that brings the functionality to everyone on our network, not just big clients with IT departments.
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.
Hard systems problems. Fun people. Good pay. A chance to build something meaningful and own a significant chunk of the company. Tired of rails-based clones? Join us, together we will rule the [database] universe.

Judging by the fact that it has been over a year since the most recent code on the RethinkDB website was released, you might want to add "take the time to solve problems properly rather than throwing together quick hacks" to this list. ;-)
(To be clear, I think taking the time to solve problems properly is a good thing -- I spent two years writing code before Tarsnap moved into public beta -- but it's a philosophy which seems to run contrary to the general standard operating principles of the startup world.)

Our website is essentially non-existent b/c we have only been serving a few REALLY big customers and they are the only ones who have needed to find us - for now. The vision is huge and it has a real chance of becoming a public company one day. Good pay, equity, heavy engineering culture, mac, linux or windows agnostic. If any of this appeals to you, fire me a resume. We'll act fast if we think there is a fit.
Airbnb is hiring - I think we have around 50 openings at this point. http://www.airbnb.com/jobs. Regardless of the position, we just want hungry, smart, and awesome people.
Holy crap...had no idea you guys were growing so fast. Congrats!
PS - Had a fantastic experience with AirBnB in London a few months ago when our hotel fell through at last minute. Posted emergency request and had a bunch of offers within an hour. Ended up staying with a very nice older British lady who made us breakfast and afternoon tea every day. Very fun.
I am actually in the process of writing an application for Airbnb. However, I am unsure about one important detail: Are you accepting applicants without a US working visa? (But who are willing to travel to the US as much as a tourist visa allows)
MetaOptimize is hiring contractors for exciting project work building real-world NLP + ML systems.

Toronto, Ontario. FreshBooks is hiring pretty much everything. Marketing, sales, product managers, support, developer community manager, system administrators and plenty of developers.
If you're an ex-pat in the States and want to move back home, we provide relocation assistance.
P.S. I'm the hiring manager for the Platform. I'm personally looking for a developer community manager, a support role, front and back end developers, and a product manager. You can get me at sunir splat freshbooks dot com

Academia.edu is hiring engineers in San Francisco.
Academia.edu helps academics follow the latest research in their field. Here are a few bullet points that sum up the atmosphere in our team:
- obsession with exceptional engineering
- obsession with building a great web product, and a great user experience
- intellectually inquisitive - we like delving into ideas, whatever the ideas are about
- fun and friendly - we enjoy each other's company a lot, and have a great deal of respect for each other.
We want to continue this atmosphere through the people we hire.
Here are some of the technologies we work with: Rails, Nginx, Node.js, Redis, Memcached. We are based in downtown San Francisco. More information about the team, and about how we think about software engineering and product development, is here http://academia.edu/hiring
We are looking for a rounded web programmer to help build our site, program robots, and be awesome.
Anybots is a fun, casual and exciting place to work. Also we build frikking robots. We are small (<10 people) and shipping product in a few months so it is a really exciting time to join.
The next people we hire will have a huge role in shaping the user experience.
Send a portfolio of cool stuff you've made, and a resume (for the sake of tradition) to [email protected]. We prefer people who are available soon (product ships in November) and are open to telecommutes (it is a telepresence company after all), but prefer a local person.
We're looking to fill back end, front end, mobile (iPhone, Android, Blackberry), search & data mining engineers as well as product managers and engineering managers. We're still a small team where everybody knows everybody, working on new features and addressing scaling issues as we internationalize. And Hackathons where projects like Yelp KegMate are born: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwVoir5HSo4

* Frontend in Javascript. We are making some very cool
and Dynamic applications. We push monitoring data and
graphs milliseconds from when it was collected right to the

We're an Ann Arbor startup founded by Arbor Networks [1], Barracuda Networks [2], and Zattoo [3] founders and alumni, backed by True Ventures [4]. Other stuff we'll take blame for: public breaks of the world's leading firewall, IDS, anti-virus, virtualization, and state censorship (!) products; Google's first Android remote kill; dsniff; Linux NFSv4; OpenSSH (man ssh :-); returning tptacek to the Midwest in '01 :-)
Right now it's just three of us with $1M to pit against the international cybercrime syndicates of the world. We're looking for a frontend hacker with web/mobile UI/UX chops and deep design/brand thinking to be our fourth, and always happy to meet excellent app and backend folks.
We'd love to hear from you at [email protected] - or ping dugsong or jonoberheide on freenode/Twitter/FB...

I haven't done much visualization of large datasets, but I've always loved interactive visualizations. Check out my logo on my site: http://jlongster.com . Email me if you think I could help you all.
We have fun problems at scale - real-time decision making plus web analytics. We have hired people from HN before and I will go hound them to post about how much fun we are having. :)
We sell SAAS to internet retailers allowing them to test site content, target to visitor segments, and personalize web experiences.
Stanford, CA. Stanford Center for Biomedical Informatics Research, National Center for Biomedical Ontology.
We're hiring people interested in working with semantic web technologies, including RDF, OWL/OBO ontologies, triple stores, Protege, etc. The positions are mainly senior right now, possibly junior in the near future. Our main product is BioPortal, an ontology repository site with a RESTful API.
Stanford is an amazing place to work, great benefits, competitive salary, and the team here is top-notch (as you would expect). Feel free to ask questions (email in profile).
If you don't mind sharing, how do you manage coordinating necessary schema changes with those continuous code deployments? (Yes, I am assuming an RDBM store and not a pure NoSQL store).
