Boston-area hackers looking for work?

I've spent the last three months working at PHOTON Consulting, a photovoltaic market research firm based in Boston, and I've been asked to help find a replacement before I leave. They're looking for a smart young hacker with an interest in renewable energy (and maybe finance).

They pay well; they work in a nice office on the 50th floor of the Hancock tower; it's a small company, and you'll learn a ton quickly; they are generally a group of savvy, motivated people; they encourage entrepreneurial employees and are open to whatever technologies/environments you prefer; you will have a healthy budget should you need it; etc. I am only leaving to pursue other projects, and would happily stay if I wasn't otherwise committed.

The job itself will involve (a) translating some of their most important and complex models into fast, stable, extensible code; and (b) building interactive interfaces to those models for their clients. There is an opportunity to personally build some serious products for large companies in the sector.

Rubyists, Pythonistas, Haskellers, Ocamlers, etc., etc., all welcome.

If that sounds interesting, or if you have any questions about the position, you can e-mail me at jsomers@photonconsulting.com.



It's illegal to be looking for a "young" hacker, so I'm going to go ahead and assume that by that you simply mean "naïve".
