Original posting

Hey guys, I'm just about to finish up my term with Videojuicer (after several years!), and they're looking to hire someone to replace (and extend) my skill set. The tl;dr is that they're looking for someone who fits these qualities: * Lives in London or Brighton (UK), and is happy working remotely * Cares about software craftsmanship (test first TDD, agile development & some pairing) * Cares about open standards and open source software * Solid dev skills in actionscript3 (bonus points for exp w/ video) * Solid dev skills on the JVM (bonus points for Scala) * Happy building in at least one modern interpreted language (Ruby, Python, Javascript) ------------------------------------------ The full deal is that Videojuicer is a London based technology and media company. We've got a close knit team of devs and all around good guys who have built a unique video experience platform. We've got a commitment to open web standards, and have even gone to the extent of making our (unfortunately flash-based) video player programmable using Javascript and styleable with CSS3. Much of our player is open sourced and you can find it on our github page (see: https://github.com/videojuicer/smilkit-as3 and https://github.com/videojuicer/stylekit-as3 in particular). The cool part about our full stack video serving platform is that we've focused on minimalist ReSTful component design, which has given us the flexibility and power to be able to experiment and build new visual experiences. Our video player in particular is a cool piece of tech and in conjunction w/ our platform lets users build custom interactive experiences w/in the player (again w/ JS & CSS3), and deploy them selectively attached to relevant videos. You can ping jobs@videojuicer.com, or hit up Ted Han (http://twitter.com/knowtheory ) or Dan Glegg (http://twitter.com/angryamoeba ) for more info. Our email addresses are also our first names at videojuicer.com. Also, feel free to ask me anything 'bout the job here if you have questions :)
