Startup (funded) needs a guru who can do some quick work on a very cool software inventon. You must have a background making applications and know windows, and either unix or linux or something in that family. It would be nice if you know multi-threading, and have experience with client/server applications. You must be able to discard some of your current beliefs about what is possible and what is impossible... this is much easier said than done.
Our startup is rejecting some of the basic fundamental assumptions made in computer science... so we are re-inventing parts of computer science. It is amazing how many venture capital companies and big name computer engineers and scientists have told us that our technology is impossible. Everyone said we were nuts. But now we have a workng pre-alpha prototype of a computer that does things that appear to be totally impossible. Everything the venture capitalists and big name engeers said was "impossible" we now have working. Now that we have a working prototype, we immediatly raised our first venture capital, and the real fun is about to start.
Parts of this project consist of doing things that are relativly boring, and parts are totally mind blowing and world changing. (at least in my opinion) You need the patience and skills to be able to work on the boring and exciting parts. We have a location in Saucilito, and are just opening an office on the Penninsula. (We are looking for office space between Palo Alto and San Mateo, but depending on the location of our next hires, we could open as far North as San Francisco, and as far South as Santa Clara.)
Although this project is a relativly short gig (a month or two), if you have the right skill set we could also consider you for other work that is much more complex and challenging. Please note that we also have permanent engineering positions available, advertised in the paid part of Craig's List under the heading "Senior Software Engineers - Highly Disruptive Technology".
In the coming months we plan to hire some of the top computer engineers in the world.
