Ask HN: Who Is Hiring Remote Workers? (December 2010 Edition)

121 points by pdelgallego 16y ago

Similar to the "Who is Hiring" thread but, please remote positions only.

olalonde 16y ago
Looks like Ubuntu is mostly hiring remote workers http://webapps.ubuntu.com/employment/ http://webapps.ubuntu.com/employment/
- bigbang 16y ago
  Just to point out - "Please note that in general preference will be given to existing community contributors."
  - olalonde 16y ago
    Also, I would add that those job listings haven't much changed in months. They are possibly just collecting CVs.
    - fader 16y ago
      Nope, it's more that we just have several open positions that haven't been filled. Sometimes a single posting goes up for multiple positions, so it will stay up until all the positions have been filled. (And while it's true that we prefer existing community members, it's not been a hard requirement for any of the open positions I've been involved with. You should certainly at least be familiar with Ubuntu and FOSS and support its goals, though.)
bwb 16y ago
We just filled a L3 spot, but we have 51+ employees working remote. And you can see when we post open positions here: http://www.site5.com/about/careers/ http://www.site5.com/about/careers/ We mostly over the next 6 months will be hiring L1 and L2 customer service / support reps. Every so often though we need a Ruby on Rails software developer or something higher up such as an L3 system admin. Emailing us your resume if you are interested is a good way so we can contact you when a position comes up.
- mike-cardwell 16y ago
  Would be neat if there was an RSS feed on http://www.site5.com/about/careers/ http://www.site5.com/about/careers/ so people could be alerted to new postings...
  - bwb 16y ago
    Yep coming very soon, been working on converting that over, sorry!
- aquark 16y ago
  Interesting -- I've been a happy site5 customer for years, though I've never needed much customer service. Still good to know you are looking to draw from the right pools.
  - bwb 16y ago
    Thanks!

If anyones interested in starting a cloud-based php website hosting control panel let me know. Language will probably be Python but its up for debate.
- bwb 16y ago
  Hit me up on this, Ben@Site5.com, I'd like to hear what you are up too.
thedigitalengel 16y ago
Please mention if you're willing to hire a remote intern.
- pdelgallego 16y ago
  I think is a very good question, I have been looking to learn about UX/UI and hardware/administration/vps but without experience is not easy to find something. I just opened another thread "Ask HN: Who is hiring interns?" http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1957603 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1957603 Hope we can find something interesting.

We have several positions available at Remember The Milk (we're based in Sydney, Australia, but you can work from anywhere): - Systems Administrator - Software Engineer (Database) - Software Engineer (JavaScript) - Software Engineer (Scala) - User Interface Designer For full details see: http://www.rememberthemilk.com/about/jobs.rtm http://www.rememberthemilk.com/about/jobs.rtm
- riffraff 16y ago
  I knew you were hiring cause I saw it on some newly launched job board some time ago (reddit maybe?) but I was wondering: since you are in sydney, isn't time difference with remote workers an issue? (I love my current remote job and don't want another but I think RTM rocks :)
- kondro 16y ago
  A friend of mine applied for a position at RTM but the staff didn't even respond to the application. They didn't even respond to the follow-up email asking if they received the application. You might be hiring, but you don't seem to be doing it very well.
  - quile 16y ago
    Maybe they just forgot to reply. It's hard to remember to do things.

Maybe can reuse an existing spreadsheet? https://spreadsheets2.google.com/ccc?key=tixDMXKPtbNapfqYx16Hssw&hl=en#gid=1 https://spreadsheets2.google.com/ccc?key=tixDMXKPtbNapfqYx16... Already has a column "Remote/Onsite/Freelance/Other"
- SingAlong 16y ago
  having it here is better to read and to comment on if people have previous experience working with those guys and would like to recommend them. Besides spreadsheets don't make a good discussion (maybe can be used to list them so as to make them quickly readable)
nolok 16y ago
Is anyone looking for a remote php/web developer to do some contract work or something ? Due to some recent family development I could really use a boost to my income, even if only sporadicly, and am willing to put up some good work for that. (just to be clear, I am not looking for a full time job, already have one)

  I know PATH is looking for an ANDROID developer (mostly because I have been waiting for it to come to my Moto Droid)... Not sure if they do remote though, I would check it out.

We're looking for a Rails and/or Android guy to help out. I'm the CTO of Zazu -- http://getzazu.com http://getzazu.com --, where we're building the Smartest Damn Alarm Clock (but we're so much more than that). Get in touch with me at marc@getzazu.com We're based out of Boston, but you can work from anywhere.
- speek 16y ago
  Lemme rephrase something (comment edit window timed out): The end goal of Zazu is to build Jarvis from Iron Man. We have delusions of grandeur, but we will not rest until it's done. The current iteration of the product is an Android application that replaces the built-in alarm clock with an alarm clock that we believe to be more intelligent: it pulls whatever information you find important -- like your RSS feeds, your calendar, your email, your twitter stream -- and reads that information to you using a Text-To-Speech engine. We're working with a few big brands to create a new form of interactive marketing/advertising and we promise that we're only going to be providing relevant information to our users... so y'all won't be blasted with Colon Blow advertisements 1000x a day. We're going to be leaving the morning space fairly soon, meaning we'll integrate with your calendar to let you know what you need to regarding where you are and where you need to be (both physically and metaphorically). We're trying to transform the moment of alert into a moment of informed decision making. We'll be looking at emails and other areas that involve alerting and decision making, too.
tibbon 16y ago
Does anyone need any non-design/non-developer remote people (business, marketing, product management)? I have some experienced friends who are considering new positions but require remote work.
- jsarch 16y ago
  Yes. They would complement my tech-heavy skills. Send me email 'archuleta (at) seqcentral.com' for more info.
