Hello all, We are looking to bring aboard a few web folks to get cracking on this new application. The recruitment letter follows but in brief its a pretty straightforward and fun project. There are some puzzles to be solved but for the most part we have it really well mapped out and are ready to roll with it. Looking to hire people in an employee or contractor context, whatever suits the individual. It would be better for everyone if you can work at the office since its a pretty aggressive development schedule. The individual who comes on will work directly with me to flesh out the underlying architecture and begin development. We will then hire on additional engineers to bring the product to launch. If anyone is interested or knows of any good people please pass this on to them and have them get in touch with me. Technically we are pretty much going with FreeBSD running the latest and greatest of apache/modperl/mysql. All fun stuff to work with that doesn't talk back very much. Located in Palo Alto, CA.
