So you're a technologist and you want a job in Charlottesville VA.

Instead of repeating the same email over-and-over, I wanted to keep a list of resources for those looking for technology jobs/opportunities/etc in Charlottesville. Please feel free to fork/comment/email me with suggestions/improvements.

Lists of Companies

Local Technology Groups

Charlottesville Based

A very wide swath of technologists/tech interested. A big part of this community is networking and people finding jobs. Technology talks are broad enough to reach a fairly general audience.

Probably the most "hard core" group. The talks here tend to be more advanced and oriented pretty heavily towards senior-level developers. A great group if you want to hone your craft.

HackCville is an entrepreneurship clubhouse that mixes students and townies. Its a fantastic place to cowork and network with entreprenuers of every age.

CoworkCville is a group that gets together Fridays to cowork at various locations around Charlottesville. If you work at home and occasionally want to work with others, check it out.

First Wednesdays is a fun time to socialize and network after work on Wednesdays at South Street Brewery. Blow off some steam or come and get to know the community a little better.

Central VA Javascript Group, CVJS

CVJS is probably the most active meetup group in Charlottesville.

Richmond Based

From data science to software engineering. If you are a data scientist or a software engineer that works on very data-centric applications, this would be a great group for you.

Central VA Ruby Enthusiasts Group CVREG

Valley Based

Tamara Funk help me out here

Conferences

BeCamp is a cross cutting technology unconference that occurs annually in Charlottesville in the Fall. It tends to be the largest gathering of Charlottesville tech folks. A great place to go if you're looking to network or find a job.

BeSwarm is more of a one-day hackathon. A bit less session oriented, a bit more work on something and show-it-off. Or just come by and socialize.

@andrewroycarter thanks. I intended this to be general information, not really a job board (as that would get out of date fast). WillowTree should be in one of those lists of companies above.

I wasn't paying attention and didn't see this was a Gist. I put some updates in, available at my fork, here: https://gist.github.com/webkunoichi/4d3b01939f489f0f7409 I was going to issue a pull request, but, not a full repo. (Look, it's been a long month.)

Feel free to grab them, and I'll delete my version. No reason to have two of these floating around.
