the perfect candidate
Mobile Networks are different. And yet we continue using the same legacy
protocol stack (TCP/HTTP/SSL) to connect mobile devices to the cloud. If you
want to help change that, come join us.
Packetzoom is rethinking the whole stack from the ground up. You get to hack
network and/or security protocols, innards of mobile operating systems and
build a global distributed system around brand new protocols. It's a very
small (but well funded) team so everyone contributes in everything. But
following two are the roles where we have specific needs to fill right now.
1) SENIOR ENGINEERING LEADER
IF you have shipped products or built services where you (at least) actually
had to deal with unix at the syscall level (either in the userspace or kernel)
in C/C++ code, I want to talk to you. If you've shipped and maintained the
product for a few years, I really want to talk to you. You'd be responsible
for leading the team the team that builds and runs the packetzoom protocol on
mobile clients (iOS, Android and any others we decide to pursue) as well as
our globally distributed cluster of servers. No pressure ;-)
2) UNIX HACKER WITH AN ANDROID BENT
IF you're the kind of person who isn't happy until you've fixed up your
android phone so you can ssh into it to, say, kill offending processes and/or
run cron jobs,  I want to talk to you. You'd be responsible for our Android
platform (so you'd be writing some combination of Java and C++ code). In the
process, you'd get to learn all about vagaries of mobile platforms and mobile
networks at the global scale. In addition, you'll have your pick of dozens of
delicious, hard problems to solve in the realm of distributed systems, unix'y
things, iOS stuff, security stuff etc. if you're so inclined.
I'm a Founder/CEO/CTO. You will work directly with me. We're well funded but
still a very small team (&lt; 10 people) So you get to enjoy an early stage team
environment but not so much the high financial risk that goes with such
things
