STARTUP – REMOTE – CONTRACT – FREELANCE
My client is the former CTO of a startup that sold for $60M and is on to his next big thing (no name yet).
He wants to compile Apache Impala on an Amazon Linux EC2 instance so that it can be included in an AWS Lambda deployment.  Unfortunately, Lambda has a hard cap of 50MB (compressed) and Impala's build footprint is somewhat larger.
So, he is hiring for a consulting/contract gig, and the task for the consultant would be to trim unnecessary functionality (e.g. in Boost) in order to reduce the size of the build.
Goal/timeline is shipping a sufficiently small build by end of year.
Please ping me if you're available and I will make the intro.
Flexible on payment terms...hourly while we firm up scope, and then fixed price and/or daily/weekly consulting rate.
