Hello fellow HNers,<p>I don't know if this is kosher or not, but my startup (http://postabon.com) is looking to hire a front end developer (who would have the opportunity to branch out and learn about other things like Mobile App development, machine learning, Lisp, etc in the future if they're interested).<p>You should be pretty smart and comfortable with HTML/CSS/JS. Beyond that, some 'nice-to-have' skills include familiarity with Git, Linux, jQuery, XML, HTML5, Lisp, or mobile app development (iPhone, Blackberry, Android).<p>Our website is really Javascript heavy - so that's going to be the key skill we're looking for. You should understand the prototype object system well, be comfortable with lexical scoping/closures, not be scared by the word 'this', etc. In return, we won't make you support IE6 ;-)<p>We'd strongly prefer you be based in New York City, but we're willing to consider working remotely for the right candidate.<p>Postabon launched about 6 weeks ago. Since then, we've got a lot of great press, and a decent number of users. We have raised a small amount of working capital, but are in the process of closing a decent sized round now. We can pay you some combination of cash/equity, depending on your preferences.<p>This is our first technical hire, and you could have a lot of influence over the future direction of the company. We're open to all sorts of suggestions (want to change the UX? Use compass? Make our API more RESTful?) - although I have a list of 'todos' a mile long myself (combine/minimize JS/CSS server side, finish our redesign, tweak the recommendation engine, etc).<p>Email me at [myusername]@postabon.com if you have any questions or would like to talk about the details.
