Hmm. Lots of employers in the the on-site jobs thread. Lots of job seekers in the freelance thread. We've long had the technology to work remotely, now we're just waiting for corporations to catch up to the 21st century.
Most of the people seeking work seem to be designers and specialists in Wordpress or Drupal and the like. The job seekers nearly all want remote contract work.
Most of the job posters (in the other thread) are looking for full time developers and are concentrated in SF, NY, and Boston. They want programmers on site.
It's either a market imbalance or a communication disconnect.
I've been a remote worker for maybe 5y now. I realise now that I've spent more time working remotely than I have in an office. My experience with getting hired on various jobs has been: the people with who(m?) I've worked remotely with before (for example, because they've been somewhere else at a different organisation) have absolutely no problem (and are enthusiastic even) about hiring me, and the people who have not interacted with me in that way, and especially not worked with remote workers before are really very wary indeed - but the enthusiasm of the people who have worked with me remotely is enough to overcome that. There's clearly a division, and clearly people can move from one side to the other, but it seems very individual: people are happy for me to work remotely rather than for "staff in general" to work remotely. So there's a reputation thing going on - but it doesn't seem a reputation that is widely understood - its a reputation understood only by a set of people who've had the experience. I don't really know how that reputation can be propagated and understood by others without the hard sell from someone already in there...

There are so many people out there looking for work, sometimes I think I could just be the middle man and take on 4-5x as many projects and just pass them on to these freelancers and make money that way...
Throwaway account here, I haven't posted for freelancers before and don't know what the spam level will be.

Nomadic - in Boulder, CO for at least the next two months.
Generalist developer looking to build up clientele. I have a strong background in scientific computing / algorithms, but I've been recently working with Node.js and websockets and have been loving it.
Got some number-crunching that's dog-slow and don't know why? I'd love to talk to you. I love a challenge.
C, C++, Python, Numpy + Matplotlib
Currently working with: Node.js, MongoDB, jQuery, underscore.js
Would love an excuse to learn: Clojure, backbone.js, Erlang, OpenCL
SEEKING WORK - Nomadically traveling the world (currently in .ca) - Remote only, availability up to 20h/wk
Currently do web dev front to back on Rails/jQuery/real life js/MySQL/Postgres. Can do PHP, Django, but usually only for porting to Rails. Rebuilt the .pro registry and did most of the Washington Post's 2008 online election coverage.
I'm looking for a freelance Rails dev to help me with Talkbee (http://talkb.ee). It's a knowledge marketplace where you can book sessions with experts.
I'm in Paris, France but remote work is no problem. I'm looking for someone who's motivated by the project, but unlike most of the "join my startup so we can become the next Facebook" things I'm definitely willing to pay you for your time.
Your portfolio is amazing and I'd love to work with you. I've actually stumbled upon your blog in the wild before, and your post about designers who can't code and vice versa hit home for me. Although I'm primarily a programmer, I've made it a point to cultivate an eye for design (contrast, repetition, alignment, proximity - CRAP - as one book so humorously reinforced), striving for elegantly simple user interfaces, and working closely with graphic designers to straddle the form/function fulcrum in a balanced way.
SEEKING FREELANCER - New York City preferred, would consider remote.
We need an iOS developer with experience building games or picture book apps. We'd love to talk to someone who has also done Android development or used cross platform tools like phonegap or titanium, but that's not required.
Please send a link to an app I can install, a video of an app, or something else that demonstrates how great you are. gbrown@scholastic.com
I'm a Drupal contractor in search of a good Drupal themer who can help me on projects. I have one immediate project and others coming down the pipe over the next few months. I would build the back-end and provide you with the functional site and PSDs so you can build the theme.
I'm looking for someone who:
- Already has experience building themes for several Drupal sites
- Is comfortable using the Zen theme
- Never, never uses !important in stylesheets
- Knows the difference between _padding-right and %padding-right.
- Prefers to reuse CSS classes wherever possible rather than duplicating style declarations
- Knows what l() and t() are and uses them
- Generally available and responsive to emails in the 9a-5pm Pacific timeframe
It's a bonus if you know jQuery and excellent if you know PHP.
If interested please send me an email with a brief note about yourself and some links to work you've done. My email is in my profile. Thanks!
Data analysis & visualization: on the web using HTML, SVG, and JavaScript, but I also like the constraints of print / PDF (via LaTeX + Illustrator). I typically use a combination of Ruby + R + SQL. My machine learning experience is in classification problems---typically some dimensionality reduction like SVD or sparse dictionary learning followed by a support vector machine. I'm waiting desperately for social media network graphs to blow over.
Kindle application development: I'm one of the handful of developers in Amazon's private SDK beta making "active content" for everyone's favorite ultra low power black and white mobile device. See http://keminglabs.com
I can take an entire project from start to finish, or fit seamlessly into your existing team of designers and developers. Use contact information from my website if interested.
I've got lots of experience (3.5+ years on the job) and a degree in CS. I'm getting bored of agency work and would prefer to work with a respectable startup or well-known company. I've worked on sites of large companies. I've got lots of open sourced material and a blog I'm willing to share. I'm FULL of ideas with an entrepreneurial spirit. Interested parties must be willing to hear my idea rants every so often and at least appear vaguely amused or interested :)
* LAMP developer
* SQL skills
* Frontend developer skills (a boatload of jQuery)
* Love creating scalable code and solving scalability issues
* Client/agency experience
* Worked with NoSQL solutions in production.
* Love to learn, willing to pick up on technologies
* I'm on the east coast.
I consider myself more senior than junior. I've worked with my fair share of developers and realized I need to work with individuals sharing my passion.
Send details my way. I'll be sure to reply with a more appropriate introduction.
You wanna be awesome? You bet you do. I can see it tattooed on your forehead. It says "I wanna be awesome".
Right underneath that, it says, "I want my Wordpress blog to be awesome too. Please?"
Maybe Xzibit can pimp your ride and make you awesome, but guess what homesauce - I can make your Wordpress blog awesome.
I'm a critic, and I'll critique the hell outta that Wordpress blog you've got. Design, SEO, plugins, security, branding, navigation, post titles, and all that grammar. Whatever, player. You want it to shine? I'll do more than spit on it. I'll give you the insight you need make it awesome; awesome enough to pony up the cash for a laser tattoo removal. Maybe awesome enough to call up Xzibit and not have your voice crack when you ask for some new hubcaps. Word.
Remote or on-site in Connecticut. Will travel at your expense if requested.
Strengths: Mostly front-end stuff, although I'm really infatuated with CouchDB right now and am in the middle of several CouchApp projects. I'm also very comfortable with creating Wordpress themes, and will use Wordpress if CMS or blog functionality is desired.
Other: I can do some small-scale PHP and MySQL work, but as a support for the front-end stuff. I can do design work, but I don't spend a ton of time in Photoshop - my designs tend to be simple, but eye-pleasing and UX-focused.
Oh, and when I'm not working on a website, I'm working on a game.
Looking for someone who has experience of Contao (Typolight) CMS and is able to take PSD and make them work with the templating system in Typolight. Please only contact me if you can show me a Contao site you have done.

Looking for iPhone developer in the Chicagoland area to work on finishing a real estate app targeting professional users. MUST have submitted previous apps to the App Store, and preferable to have experience with Android and Blackberry as well.
I'm a web developer with equal experience on the backend with Rails and the frontend with HTML/CSS/jQuery. I have been central in the development, deployment, and maintenance of 3 production websites and 1 production web app. Here is a little background on a couple of my previous projects:
At one company, I inherited the company’s existing intranet “project management” Rails web app (http://metro-tek.org). I added major functionality including timesheets for payroll (covered by unit tests), automated email reporting, model and form validation, and PDF rendering. I fixed bugs and set up automated error notifications, backups, and deployment. I also wireframed, programmed and deployed a new corporate website (http://metroelectrical.com) written in Rails. I developed an internal CMS platform to update the website, and integrated CopyCopter for production copy editing.
For my freelance website (http://soliddesigngroup.net), I developed a custom blog platform and CMS for internal use. I developed the information hierarchy and wireframed the website. I translated the website from a PSD layout file into production code, including social media integration, server and client-side form validation, and dynamic front end programming. I created custom jQuery plugins, and set up error notification, automatic backups, and automated deployment.
Here is a sampling of the "best practices" software I roll in my Rails stack:
* web server - Nginx + Passenger
* version control - Git + Github
* automated deploys - Capistrano
* error notification - Hoptoad
* automated backup - Backup
* cron jobs - Whenever
* HTML/CSS templating - Haml/Sass/Compass
* Production copy editing - Copycopter
This is by no means the limit of my abilities or experience, but a small sampling. Please contact me at the email address in my profile for a copy of my resume, and references upon request. I look forward to hearing from you and answering any questions you may have for me!

I am equally well-wersed in server-side stuff (PHP, MySQL and RoR) but currently not
interested in this kind of contract just that my domain knowledge there will be helpful and make communication easier.
Preferable tasks: design to code implementation, front-end optimization.
