Re:Ask HN: Who Is Hiring Remote Workers? (December 2010) by sleight42 on Sunday December 12, 2010 @10:26AM (#1997197)
I have a client (stealth startup) who I've been working with for a little over a month. I'm consulting with them while they get an MVP out the door. After that, I'm shepherding them to stand on their own. I'll let them speak about their funding themselves; however, for reference, they've had zero problems paying my invoices promptly.

They are seeking an EMPLOYEE (remote is A-OK) for a PT/FT Ruby on Rails developer. Particularly interested in people with experience using: Heroku, Test::Unit, Capybara, Rails 3, and developing/maintaining RESTful APIs in Rails.

Contact me through the email provided on the last link in my profile.

Seems like there are lots of people hiring employees but not Rails contractors right now!? :(

Colin Bartlett? ;-) Evan Light here, BTW.

There are definitely Rails consulting gigs out there. Engaging consultants is what startups tend to have to do when they can't find hires.

Marketing, for any consultant, is of prime importance. You have to find the work to get paid to do the work. ;-)
