I've been a software developer on Oahu for ten years and I'm currently working on my own startup with my brother [1]. There are plenty of "real" jobs over here but to be honest, the community of talented developers on island is so small that you're not going to find the jobs online. Go to the local meetups and ask around and you'll find plenty of people that are hiring.

Not sure what your background is but if you're interested in the work we're doing at Kumu hit me up (think github meets gephi focused on social impact). We're hiring and have found it incredibly hard to find local developers that A) know their shit, and B) don't already have a better offer.

All in all, if you're a decent human being and you're good at what you do you'll have no problem finding a job wherever you look.

Your product seems interesting, although I do not fully understand it. Am I right in assuming it's a data viz tool aimed at people and orgs trying to improve society? What's your elevator pitch?
Yeah that's the gist of it. Helping people make sense of complicated relationships so they can make an impact.

If you're interested in this stuff Donella Meadow's book "Thinking in Systems" is a great introduction: http://www.amazon.com/Thinking-Systems-Donella-H-Meadows/dp/...
