  Thank you for posting this with comments enabled! It's nice to be able to see Q&A about the job posts.

  (I'd apply, but I'm both based in NY and happily employed at another startup)

  "The patience to make something work in all versions of Internet Explorer."

  Ouch. You might lose a lot of candidates with this stipulation.

  So, where are they located? I can't find it anywhere on the site.

  A whois says Westchester CA (which is probably just a whoisguard location), and a "site:indinero.com Westchester" search doesn't turn up any results. What gives?

  Edit: I found a blog post that says they are "next to downtown Mountain View in California" http://blog.indinero.com/?p=129

  This job description reads, at least to me, like the minimum requirements for any frontend developer position. It's not clear to me what makes this a lead position.

  I started to go on a rant about what job descriptions are generally missing, but then I clicked through the day in the life link and that basically answered my questions. Incorporate some of that onto the job page.

  As to what I liked: My personal primary factors in fit are the amount of autonomy (including hours), process overhead, and the fact that I care about user experience, tools, and code quality but not about making money. Put differently, I expect someone else to be worried about the what and when ($) but I generally want as much control over the how as I can get. That's not to say I want to be a cowboy coder, but autonomy is what makes coding a craft instead of just labor.

  Edit: I'm not really looking to apply, just happened to hit HN in between things and got annoyed.

  "BS/MS or equivalent in Computer Science required." Why?

  Almost done with my checkers :)

  edit: Link to checkers on github. Doing it fast. Will clean up and make jQuery plugin later. http://github.com/bradherman/inDinero----Checkers

  I'm not sure I understand the second engineering question...

  Would you mind clarifying a bit more? Thanks!
