Inquiring on job opportunities with Permies

I know that Paul Wheaton built this forum. What I do not know is if Permies employs a staff of software engineers to help with the development and maintenance of the site. I have searched the forum, and looked for any sort of carrers or jobs link but have not found any. I'm sure I am not the only software Permie to seek potential employment with the forum, but I have not found answers. Does Permies employ developers as part of their staff? and if so how do I toss my resume into the hat? Or find out about future openings if the seats are full? Thanks in advance

Eeek, the development side of things.  That's stuff to do with the mysterious thing called code.

Let's put it this way - my super power is more in finding bugs and crashing computers.  I am a natural-born bug finder.  

Most of our development comes from the sister site Coderanch.  They know all sorts of code stuff.  

The first step would be to build up some social credit over on the coderanch forums (and here) and get a history of being helpful and show off how you know your stuff.  I know when Paul does hire, forum participation is a huge part of it.  



and if you want a quicker way to make money with permies, the affiliate system is pretty sweet.  Many of Paul's goodies have 40-50% affiliate kickbacks.

Paul, can you tell me what the tech stack looks like for the site? I joined code ranch but have not participated yet.
