Link gerne weitergeben, wenn ihr jemanden kennt, für den es interessant wäre.
Junior Developer
Thanks for your interest! Yes, we're looking for two 'juniors' to join the dev team in Vienna. The more time the better, including full-time+, offering a flexible schedule to accommodate eg your studies, with a mutual commitment until summer and a possibility of extension beyond this.
Yes, this is a position in a startup
If the two main priorities in your life are inherent security and the ability to rely on things planned months ahead, please stop reading this now and do something else. If curiosity, ability to suffer, resilience and clear sense of individual responsibility get you going, please get back to us. You'll find and we expect a sense of truthfulness (towards oneself, each other and reality, learned the hard way), being demanding (is this the best you can do?) as well as extensiveness (have fun really grasping things in their entirety).
Basic Profile
So if you're still with us and possess a good basic computer science talent, we'd like to work with you on a project involving a Python back-end combined with a custom JavaScript browser front-end. While we didn't yet disclose what we're doing, we won't be a cheapest possible labor platform knock-off for tasks (MTurk) or jobs (oDesk). Topics will range from social network data aggregation and normalization to matching tasks with people via semantic analysis and vector spaces. We like talking Git, deploy continuously (really wanna push this?) and offer a good choice between hacking away on simple things in auto-pilot to going f#*!&in nuts on that intractable problem for three days. Mostly. So don't be late for task planning.
Next step
You're still reading. Please start writing. An email. Hi there"]To the guy stupid enough to do another startup right away. Please include answers to the following three questions:
» Go to http://norvig.com/spell-correct.html, pick any implementation
at the end and tell us what you'd do different.
» Please describe an elegant solution to a tricky problem,
first one coming to your mind is fine.
» It's Friday, a feature you're working on is due on Monday and all you have
is some spaghetti code and that academic paper you don't understand.
What do you do?
Don't worry, the more idiosyncratic and tangible your mail is, the better. Looking forward, thanks for all the effort and taking the time,
The work|i|o Team
