Our goal is to revolutionize software development. Our founder is a pioneer of social networking and founding investor in Napster. Our angel investors include Internet entrepreneurs who have sold their startups to Google (pre-IPO), Microsoft, Yahoo, Fox, etc.
Technologies we use include Python, Google App Engine, Django, AJAX. Math ability is a plus. We're looking for developers, and also help with analytically oriented usability/design.
Existing team is based in Panama, and we're mainly looking at recruiting in Latin America and possibly India.
Folks with other technical backgrounds are welcome. The bar is a bit higher = we are more selective on that. Really we are looking for some web application experience, otherwise the learning curve is a bit too long, generally. [ We have more flexibility on that for in-country-Panama members. ]
So if you don't have Python, but you have Java/Ruby/PHP/Web, that sounds interesting. I would recommend someone with mainly C/Unix start building some websites and webapps of their own w/ something like Python and App Engine (little plug: request an invite to our beta for one way to get started with that). In this day and age, if you really want to be in a startup-oriented environment, it should be difficult for you to not be creating some web apps with these tech's on your own etc.
Later on we may have more flexiblity when our team is larger.
FYI, at this time we are primarily focused on adding team members from Latin America (for time zone, budget and other considerations).
We have brought on board some great back-end developers, and as I write this, mainly would be interested in adding a front-end developer (Ajax/Python) and a designer (who can go from design to html/css/images, and ideally has some analytical orientation towards a/b testing etc)
Thank you to all who have written to us! We appreciate your time.
