I figure this would be useful for those of us who work 9-5s for BigCo, Incs, but would like to be involved with startups/other more interesting work in our off-hours.
We're looking to hire a freelance (remote) designer (UI in form of PSD, Wireframes or HTML) to create a stunning design for our product. The product is a way for NHS patients to interact with their doctors and support groups, we are well funded and already have trials in place with the NHS - looking to launch Q3 this year. This product will be used by millions of people.
I need someone to help me craft the entire look and feel of our product, we'd love for you to involved in all aspects of design: from branding, to user experience, to designing the individual user interface elements on each part of our website. Our dream person is someone insanely passionate about web design, and wants to make software that is tradditionally terrible, awesome (medical software is usually worse than enterprise software).
This is our fourth hire, and our first non-developer role.
P.S. thank you pclark for writing/proof reading the above :)
This type of post doesn't really work with the HN format -- not sure what the alternative would be, other than a /whoshiring url or something. If someone posts a job to a week-old post, no one sees it unless it's on the front page.
It was proposed long time ago to only submit posts like these on the first days of the month, and we were doing fine. Don't break that rule, March is just a couple of weeks away.
MetaOptimize is hiring contractors for exciting project work building real-world NLP + ML systems.
This is for remote, short-term gigs. You can set your hours. The only requirement is that you kick ass and add value from day one.

* Hardcore programmers who learn new technologies and APIs quickly.
* Experienced sysadmins, especially who have experience with AWS and EC2.

* Python/Django programmers
* Java programmers
Email your resume and/or github URL to joseph at metaoptimize dot com. I will send you a code challenge that you can use to evaluate the sort of work you will do.
[edit: I am just one guy, doing bizdev + tech + hiring. I'll try to get back to you as soon as possible.]

I'm a CS student working on a couple of bootstrapped projects involving mosty Java technologies (Spring - MVC, Batch, ROO).
The projects are not generating enough revenue in order to allow me to hire another programmer, therefore I'm looking for a consultant/mentor who could take a look over the code every now and then and give me some advice about how I could improve it.
Basically I'm constantly finding myself in the position where I know that my code sucks but I don't know any way of improving it.
If you are interested please send me an email at: vially.ichb [at] gmail [d0t] com
I'll be looking for freelance work mainly in the UK at the end of this academic year. Would it be OK if I were to post my CV for people to give me recommendations and improvements? I'd find that really useful given the demographic of this site.
I am looking for a freelance remote developer for a web application. The technologies we use are c# (mono), mvc, mysql, Git, CentOs, apache & mod_mono and haproxy basically.
Also looking for an excellent designer to do a redesign of the site.
We are getting ready to bring on some remote freelancers, and of course also provide freelance (remote) gigs from other startups/companies: http://www.virtualrockstars.com
I am looking for artistic input on handful of animated "intros" with soundtracks for a smartphone app. These pieces would last approximately 5, 10, or 20 seconds and would be used to introduce or preface user-generated content in the form of photos, documents, or event invitations. We are looking primarily for the right artistic touch and the flexibility to produce work for hire in specific genres or styles on demand. (Currently looking for electronica and 60's spy movie styling.) We will pay excellent rates for a commensurate level of talent.
Please send rate info and online portfolio links to ooghamist at g mail dot com.
We're looking for a freelance jr. web designer & developer to contract work out to on a regular basis (ideally local, but will definitely consider remote). HN probably isn't our target market, but if you know a new-ish front-end dev, or are looking to pick up a bit of extra cash, look us up.
If you have experience writing mobile applications for iPhone, Android or BlackBerry (or Windows Mobile), we want to talk to you. We run FaceCash, an up-and-coming mobile payment system that was just deployed all over Stanford last week and is growing quickly.
Graphical Artist/Designer who can do iPhone work (screens buttons etc). Extra points for willing to learn the proper methods of cutting PSDs up so we don't have to open photoshop on the dev machines.
Part time work only, good for a moonlighter or freelancer.
Usually a couple week lead time on things, but sometimes would like a couple day lead time (and are willing to pay for that).
Please show a portfolio (email in my profile), and a couple estimates how long/how much the most appropriate portfolio pieces took to do.

Please email your resume along with your availability to: hire [at] DealTracker.co
After reviewing the submitted resumes, we will contact qualified applicants with the project details.

You can try to use vWorker www.vworker.com for finding interesting projects on which you can learn new things and get paid.
I have worked on the site since 2006 so I have some experience with freelancing, if you work 1-3 hours per day you can make a nice profit. However it will take some time to build yourself a reputation on the site, so don't expect to make a lot of money from the start.
Wowzers!
