What Rinzwind says is true. Though I'd just like to add that SE do have job openings which you can apply for. You check them out by clicking the [work here][1] link in the footer of any of the Stack Exchange sites. Since this is Ask Ubuntu, I thought I should also mention that you can also apply for a job at Canonical (The company behind Ubuntu). You can check those job opportunities by clicking the [careers][2] link in the footer of [ubuntu.com][3].
