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.)
It does, but in both cases the products are something that need to be executed right or risk losing customer data. So a bit harder to release a database more often if your not just tinkering with new concepts and want to be taken seriously.
I doubt they could enforce a prohibition on companies providing support for RethinkDB; but I see no reason why they couldn't say "if you provide support for RethinkDB, you're not allowed to use our code", which is probably equivalent in practice.

Python; We heavily use Django and Cassandra.
* Node.js (or good at Python and willing to learn).
We are building new solutions to deployment, and I'd
like someone to help make it awesome.
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.
We're not really a startup, though we are small and dynamic enough that it feels like it. (It also feels like it because we're Daviding the Goliath incumbent telco up here, and we're kicking their slow, lazy, outmoded asses.)
Our founder (and current president and CTO) started off selling Gateway computers to Northern clients from a little shop in a town near the Knife called Fort Providence. Fifteen-odd years later we're pounding out wicked code that runs on our state-of-the-art satellite network. Lots of hard work from lots of smart people made this happen.
Thanks to NAFTA it's relatively easy for citizens of the United States and Mexico to obtain temporary work permits if you have a profession on this list [1] and the credentials to back it up. This includes "Computer System Analyst" and "Engineer".
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
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 jobs@anybots.com. 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 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. Drop us a line at jobs@seatgeek.com if you'd like to chat.

Los Angeles, CA (and possibly Silicon Valley) -- Factual
Our goal at Factual is to be the place where people meet to share, improve, and mash-up data. We have an awesome team, and an incredible CEO (he was the co-founder of Applied Semantics, which was sold to Google and became AdSense).

Are you interested in creating technologies that improve the way engineers solve difficult problems?
Consider Pattern Insight. We develop novel solutions for searching and analyzing vast quantities of semi-structured data. Many of the biggest tech companies use our products to: find and fix source code bugs more quickly and completely; manage thousands of branches of software without going crazy; and solve high-end technical support problems faster and more effectively.
Needless to say, we're going places. We have solid revenue; a small, talented team; just the right level of VC funding; and new opportunities opening up every day. But we could really use a few more creative, resourceful engineers to help us turn those opportunities into reality. Maybe that means you?
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me: jay.patel@patterninsight.com.
Posterous is hiring Backend and Rails engineers! We're a team of just 10 engineers -- 100% focused on being totally driven by great hackers who love building for consumer web.
1. an awesome salesperson. Tenacious, resourceful, ambitious, but also comfortable with learning, discovery, and building a model (rather than following a model).
2. a junior designer. Someone with HTML/CSS and design chops, to help expand and improve our web presence. Some work on our core product, plus work on several small micro-projects.

Our team is looking for 2 more developers to help us build SpaceX's enterprise and manufacturing systems. We primarily use C# but experience in OOP languages such as Java or Ruby is just fine.
We offer excellent benefits, pre-IPO stock, and free yogurt everyday =)
Drop me a line at paulo[at]spacex[dot]com if interested.
But let me say, forget all the web X.0/ruby/nosql rubbish. Working at spaceX seems like the sort of place you'll be telling your grandchildren about. Quora? Groupon? Not so much.
I mean, they build spaceships. Fucking spaceships.
Seattle, WA (in our awesome new offices near Pike Place Market) - SEOmoz is hiring senior engineers/developers, a senior scientist (heavy math/stats background and interest in web search/information retrieval). Get in touch with Kate@SEOmoz.org
Now hiring back-end (mostly Ruby on Rails) and front-end (jQuery/HTML/CSS) developers.
Swipely is part social network, part financial application, and part gaming platform, and we have plenty of interesting problems to work on in all those areas and more. This is hands-down the strongest engineering team I've worked with. We work in weekly iterations and push new code to production at least once per iteration. Though not a strict requirement, we have a strong preference for full-time employees who can work out of our office in Providence.
Our perks blurb:
"Swipely offers competitive salaries and full benefits, similar to "big" companies. We also offer everyone equity in the company, to share in Swipely's long-term success. Our kitchen is stocked at all times with free drinks and snacks. Lunch is catered every day from a nearby sandwich shop, and we even keep a dedicated fridge stocked with craft beers from around the globe. We want you to have the best tools for the job, so the Macbook Pros are fast, the Internet pipes are fat and the screen pixels are unlimited. Go for it!"
Anywhere. Intridea is still looking for people for consulting gigs in Rails and mobile stuff (iPhone and Android!). We're 100% remote, so you live where you'd like and have a sweet, sweet, job.
Ping me directly if you want to discuss how we work, or contact the company at jobs@intridea.com.
We specialize in high-frequency trading in equities and futures. We are a small firm of seven people who build and execute automated trading algorithms.

- high-performance computing
- asynchronous/non-blocking IO
- FIX protocol and parsing
- statistical analysis
- alpha model simulation

If the new hire does well, he will have the opportunity to move into a trading position.
We are NOT looking for anyone who believes in manually monitoring the system, watching CNBC, or sending Word documents.
Send us your cover letter with an explanation of who you are and what you're looking for. Your resume is optional, though we'd be more impressed if it had been typeset with LaTeX.
As part of the interview process, serious candidates will be required to give a brief (5--10 minute) presentation on any technical topic of their choosing. It may involve technology in finance, the math of music, your thesis topic, etc.
Start the ball rolling with an email to me, Chris Aycock, at caycock AT tachyoncm DOT com
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).
For the most part, schema changes can be done without breaking the existing code base (add columns, add tables, etc.) These schema changes can just be run on the databases before the code depending on it is pushed. Much more rarely though, there might be code that depends on a certain schema (the kind that say, alter table might do). In this case we can push out code that is compatible with both versions (at the very worst case, using table descriptions to differentiate between the two), run the schema change, and then eliminate the backwards compatibility.
There's not that much different in terms of operating procedure between continuous code deployment and scheduled code deployments; it's just much faster and less prone to merge errors.
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).
Stealth-mode startup with solid funding. Currently have a team of 8 in the US and 4 in Europe. Looking for solid engineers in the LA area (telecommuting not an option, sorry). Experience building social networks or mobile development a plus (iOS or Android), but really just looking for solid engineers who fit with our small team. We aim to exit stealth by next summer.
Email questions to jaaronfarr [at] gmail.com
Unfortunately any important details require an NDA. Some people involved have been burned by early disclosure in the past, so we're playing it extra safe this time. And no, it isn't a social network, we just happen to have some typical social network features in the roadmap.
We are experienced hardware and software engineers in LA with many products and start-ups under our belts. Let us know if we can be of help. We have no problem signing NDAs.
IndexTank. San Francisco, CA (SoMa). Multi-tenant search as a service hosted on AWS. Extremely interesting optimization and scalability challenges. Many sites use us and pay for our service, including Reddit. Very small company, lots of upside. International team (US - Argentina). We NEED more awesome developers.
We're hiring server engineers, operations engineers, and mobile engineers.
Our backend is built with Scala, Lift, and some Python. Our main datastore is MongoDB, but we have some stuff on Postgres. We're hosted entirely on EC2. We develop mobile clients for the iPhone, Android, and Blackberry.
We're a location-based social network that's changing how people interact with physical space. We've got a lot of exciting projects we want to work on, and we need all the help we can get.
Server engineer is very broad. Could be anywhere on the stack from front-end work with HTML/CSS/JS to very deep in the guts of our application code working on performance and scalability, or anywhere in between. Job description: http://foursquare.jobscore.com/jobs/foursquare/server-side-s...
Operations engineer would be focused less on our application code and more on managing our EC2 infrastructure. Anywhere from improving our deployment process to thinking about security, reliability, and performance to managing our databases to tracking key system metrics. Job description: http://foursquare.jobscore.com/jobs/foursquare/operations-en...
From what I can tell, you've melded a backend and frontend dev for the server engineer role. Thanks for your time, but you require a degree, so I'm out.
The title is melded. Your role is whatever your best fit is. We have "server engineers" that do frontend dev almost exclusively, others that do backend dev almost exclusively, and others that do a bit of both.
We've hired people without degrees, and we've hired people without 5+ years experience. If you're good, we'll bend the rules.
I'm with you on this. I don't understand why companies limit themselves to people with degrees. It's not like half the good (a relative term, I know) developers haven't dropped out to do awesome things anyhow.
I'm pretty happy my company - SeatGeek, we're hiring full-time devs, see jack7890's post - is understanding of my wish to complete my education. Hopefully you can find a similar placement somewhere :)
I've got an offer to extend my 3 month contract with a pretty nice startup about to land in my inbox within a week, so I don't really need a job, (I have plenty of savings anyway), but I like to shop around and keep my eyes open.
Finishing my education is what I did when MIT OCW put their course material for computer science, electrical engineering, linguistics, philosophy, and culture online.
I use degree requirements as an anti-indicator for companies. If they're requiring the piece of paper, I know that I'd be punishing myself to go work for them anyway.
This sounds very neat! I dabble in Lift and Scala, and I think a job working/hacking on that would be awesome - unfortunately I don't think I'm qualified quite yet.
We're looking for front (design/ui/ux) and backend developers. Consulting shop with great people, fun projects, great pay, 10% time projects, small (20 people or so), so anyone engaged will have a significant impact on the company, and feels like a "choose your own adventure".
We have big dreams and big plans for making gobs of money for everyone. Come join us.
Tech: Rails (mostly), PHP, Narwhal (part of our CMS - http://markupfactory.com/), some side projects with JRuby, Node.js, HTML5. We're looking to do some Erlang in the future.
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.
Clio (http://www.goclio.com) is hiring talented Ruby on Rails developers. We are a fast-growing provider of practice management software for lawyers in small firms. Think of Clio as a mashup of Highrise, FreshBooks, Basecamp, and Harvest tailored to the specific project management needs of lawyers that practice as solos or in small firms (which is, by the way, 80% of lawyers in North America).
We're a small, fun-loving and tight-knit team with team members spread across North America. We're looking for team players that also know how to work independently. If you're located in Vancouver, great, but if not please still apply.
If you're interested please e-mail jobs@goclio.com.
http://iApps.in provides intelligent app search using semantic technology. It is a stealth mode startup whose goal is to bring innovative semantic solutions to the internet one vertical at a time. We are looking for the following expertise for current or near term requirements:
- Theme designer : minimalist and beautiful front-end designs for presenting search results, experience with CSS3, JS, HTML5, iPhone development
- Marketing manager : Business development, online marketing, sales
- Researcher : Background in natural language processing, machine learning, crawler design, large scale data modeling, map reduce using Hadoop
iApps.in is based in New Delhi, India, but remote work can be an option for suitable candidates.
If you think you can take on big guys on a shoe string budget with mere determination and ingenuity, send your resume to jobs at iapps dot in
Richmond, VA: Any php/mysql programmers or designers in the area looking for contract work or more, contact me (see my profile). We've got several full time remote employees, but I see some benefit in having some local contractors/employees.
We make games. On Facebook. But they're deeper and more interesting than other Facebook games, because we're gamers and we're not afraid to admit it. Our games were the first to feature animated battles, and we think they're still the best :)
Also, we're profitable, and not VC funded.
We've got two relatively successful Facebook games out, and we're always working on more. We've got some developers from some well known and established web startups, as well as artists who have worked with Marvel and D.C.
Looks like folks are being more specific, so I'll clarify:
We're looking for really solid PHP/Ruby/Python developers. Right now a lot of our server-side code is in PHP, but we've been writing a lot of stuff recently in Ruby, Python, and even a bit of Java.
Experience with scale is a major plus - we've got a lot of interesting scale problems and we're trying to be creative about solving them, including using a lot of Redis.
We're also looking for people who either have AS3 experience OR rockstars with 'traditional' game development experience (C/C++/Lua/whatever) - we've got two Flash rockstars already and they both knew zero about it when they started.
Also, if you're a master of CSS, we need you as well.
At Klicknation, you'll spec new features on Monday and launch them on Thursday. You'll have a lot of fun, but you'll be held to high standards and you'll learn a lot.
We're working on about a million interesting problems at scale, with resources and the ability to open source almost everything. We also have a good deal of fun. twitter.com/jobs or ryan@twitter.com
UX, UI, PM, distributed systems engineer, operations engineer and more. We're in the Bay Area, down in Palo Alto and are genuinely a great company for which to work.
If you're interested in any of our positions, drop me a line at henry at cloudera.com and I'll get you in contact with the relevant people - in particular if you're a distributed systems guy looking for some seriously interesting problems to work on, I'd love to hear from you!
We provide middleware. Major customer segments include A&D, unmanned vehicles, medical devices and financial services. Some concrete examples: DDG-1000 Destroyer network, Grand Coulee Dam SCADA, ESO's Very Large Telescope optics control; Predator ground control station; PIMCO pre-trade compliance system. If the terms real-time, high-performance or distributed computing come to mind, you would be right.
* Private company ~80 employees
* If you want it, extensive travel to customer sites
* Offices in Sunnyvale, NYC, London
* Many remote employees, with clusters in MA and DC.
Multiple positions open; US citizens preferred for some. My role is a mix of developer-consultant whose detailed description I've not yet managed to condense. Mail if you're curious, or I can attempt over coffee near Cambridge.
We used to complain about a table having a billion pins. That's yesterday's news. Come help us figure out what to do with 100B rows of data. And how to do it.
The cool thing about this product group is that it's run without the usual big corp politics. There are hard problems to work on and you will have the opportunity to bring your own product ideas into life.
Hiring is the most important thing a startup does. We care so much that we created an app to help us reach hackers and let our friends explain why you should join us:
Also, please mention if you're hiring interns or not. I'm sure a number of college students (myself included) read HN, and are _very_ interested in working for one of you for the coming summer. Plus, it's just about that time, where we start applying and interviewing for internships.
EditRing is a VC-backed collaboration startup in San Francisco hiring COM/Windows engineers.

Confused - this looks suspiciously like the craigslist ad that says this is a 3-6 month contract. I'm also getting calls from headhunters saying this is a 6 month contract.
