AeroFS is Hiring Smart Engineers

1 points by yurisagalov 13y ago ↗ HN

  AeroFS (S10) is building a private-cloud file syncing and collaboration
  tool. Our customers range from Enterprises to consumers, with one 
  common theme: They all care a lot about the privacy and security 
  of their data.

  Our team is small (there are about a dozen of us today) and 
  we're hiring. Because AeroFS touches almost every layer in the 
  technology stack, you will have the opportunity to work on both 
  incredibly low-level and high-level problems. Because of the size of
  our team you will be "CEO" of whatever you create.

Opportunities:

==============

1. Senior Software Engineer:

----------------------------

  You will have the opportunity to work across the entire backend 
  and our desktop-client. Our projects range widely across the entire
  software stack, and you will have the ability to choose from a variety 
  of interesting and challenging projects based on your own interests.

Skills & Requirements

  - Highly scalable server architectures
  - Networking and Distributed Systems
  - Database background is a plus

Ideally, you should also have:

  - B.S., M.S., or Ph.D., in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, 
    or equivalent
  - Expert knowledge of either C++ or Java (Shell Scripting and 
    Objective-C are a great bonus)
  - Familiarity with the UNIX working environment

=======================================================

2. iOS Engineering Lead:

------------------------

  We have a Windows, Mac, and Linux client. We have an Android client. 
  What we unfortunately don't have is an iOS client. We're looking for a 
  developer with deep experience in iOS to help bring AeroFS to the iOS
  platform. iOS is one of the most requested missing features for AeroFS 
  (both in the enterprise, and in the consumer world), and we need help to
  deliver a great experience on it!

Skills & Requirements

  - Expert knowledge of Objective-C, Cocoa, and iOS Frameworks
  - Experience developing high-quality production iOS Applications
  - B.S, M.S, or Ph.D., in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or
    equivalent

Ideally, you should also have:

  - 2+ Years of experience in design and development of iOS mobile
    applications
  - Experience developing custom UI elements
  - Expert knowledge of objected-oriented programming
  - Strong knowledge of Operating System concepts
  - Familiarity with the UNIX working environment

When applying:

  Please provide examples of applications that you worked on which are
  currently 
  in the Apple App Store

=======================================================

3. Front-End Engineer:

----------------------

  Increasingly, more and more of our components have web-functionality and
  web tie-ins. We realize that going forward, the web is going to be one of
  the most important components within the AeroFS ecosystem, and we'd like 
  to make sure we have the best engineers working on it.

Skills & Requirements

  - Expert knowledge of HTML, JavaScript and CSS
  - UI Design knowledge
  - Experience developing high-quality production web applications

Ideally, you should also have:

  - B.S, M.S, or Ph.D., in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or
    equivalent
  - Proficiency with Python in an established web framework (e.g. Flask,
    Django) 
  - Experience developing custom UI elements, proficiency with Photoshop or
    similar software
  - Strong knowledge of objected-oriented programming
  - Familiarity with the UNIX working environment

=======================================================

  We are more than just a startup, we are a family: We're close friends and
  enjoy spending time together. We host tech talks...
