Howdy.

A cursory google search hasn't turned up much on this topic. 

Is there a puppet-jobs list for jobs oriented around Puppet (not to be confused with "Work at Puppet Labs!" style stuff?

Other projects seem to have similar lists, but I can't find one for Puppet; I suspect it'd be constructive to have a place to throw a few Puppet projects to the community without spamming the users list.

Howdy, a list moderator here. We don't have a formal list, the only
thing I can speak to is perhaps LinkedIn, which seems to be a popular
place. Perhaps others can chime in about what's available in the
industry if you can supply a location. Having said that, if all you
want to do is post a job for a company you actually work for then
thats fine if you are an active member of the list, or your members of
your company are. The rules are simple:

"Recruiters are not permitted to post jobs to our mailing lists.
However, if you are an active community member and you are personally
hiring more people to work on Puppet, you may post relevant job
descriptions."

We try to be pragmatic about it obviously, and this is largely in
response to our users needs rather than any hard and fast rules
because this list is primarily about helping community members not
about commerce. Others have voiced concerns in the past about
recruiters, and its our responsibility to maintain that.

That means basically don't be annoying about it :-). I'd suggest
looking through the list archives to see the 'tone' that others try to
set when advertising jobs for their companies to get a feel for the
rough expectations. Most people put [JOB] in the title to designate it
as such.

Full details of our guidelines and the quote I supplied above are here FYI:
