Blue Gecko - Seattle, WA (remote from anywhere) http://www.bluegecko.net http://www.bluegecko.net 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. Drop me a line if you're interested, my email address is in my profile.

Igalia is hiring as well, at the moment looking people with a strong knoweldge of webkit and related: "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." http://blogs.gnome.org/xan/2010/12/30/igalias-webkit-team-is-expanding/ http://blogs.gnome.org/xan/2010/12/30/igalias-webkit-team-is... There are other remote positions open as well, if you are smart enough, perhaps you can find them. :-)

CoderBuddy welcomes remote workers. 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. http://www.coderbuddy.com/ http://www.coderbuddy.com/

  Are folks with other technical backgrounds (say C/UNIX, but interested and motivated to learn) welcome?
  - adrianscott 16y ago
    Thanks for asking. 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.

Treesaver is looking for some HTML/CSS designer/developer types. We need some help creating and implementing designs using the Treesaver.js framework we've developed. No JavaScript skills are required, although they're always nice to have. You can see some examples here: http://treesaver.net/portfolio/ http://treesaver.net/portfolio/ (as you can see, it's still early days -- we can do far better than what's there). [ If you're looking for more info, you can watch my video with Scoble: http://scobleizer.com/2010/12/15/treesaver-shows-html5-can-hold-its-own-against-flipboard-style-design/ http://scobleizer.com/2010/12/15/treesaver-shows-html5-can-h... ] 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.

  "Think employees don't do drugs." What does that mean? - Recurring drug tests? - While working or in their spare time? - No Alkohol, no nicotine, no sugar?
  - sdrinf 16y ago
    Can't speak for grandparent, but usually this is code for "we had drug problems in the past, _do not want again_." 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

  Hey, are you flexible when it comes to experience, or is it a Hard Limit(TM)? 'Cause I'm a pretty good problem-solver and rapid learner, but I've not been around as long as you're looking for, WRT years developing ASP.Net. I'd still love to apply if you'd consider it?

Bandzoogle is looking for a remote Ruby on Rails developer. 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. Interested? Full job post is here: http://jobs.37signals.com/jobs/8006 http://jobs.37signals.com/jobs/8006
