Fountain Digital Labs - Python developer - London, UK
We are a funded one year old startup working on children's iPad app with interactive video as a core offering. We want to find a new way for children to learn about the world around them using something that looks like a TV app on the iPad but is way smarter, more interactive and enjoyable.
Our product is currently in pre-alpha stage and is planned for a limited release this Christmas. Of engineers working on the product, one person is responsible for the iPad app, three more are working remotely on the Python-based backend. The backend is an elastic video processing system: ffmpeg-based transcoding, dynamic allocation of EC2 instances, tons of supported video inputs, strong focus on the resulting video quality and crazy scalability, all managed via a custom web panel. We're looking for another backend expert to join our team. If you'll join, you'll be the first permanent engineering hire.
At the moment we're based in Google Campus but will be moving to a new office very soon. Compensation (and equity) is very competitive.
Buzzwords: Python, Bottle, ZeroMQ, boto, MongoDB, Redis.
