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).

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).

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 ;-)

We'd strongly prefer you be based in New York City, but we're willing to consider working remotely for the right candidate.

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.

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).

Email me at [myusername]@postabon.com if you have any questions or would like to talk about the details.
