This is a chance to work in a start-up on a funded project with the potential to develop something that will be used every day by millions.

You'll get a chance to:

  • Work with a small and talented team
  • Participate in several release cycles
  • See your work in use and work directly with an engaged user-base
  • Learn what it takes to create a new consumer-oriented software start-up.

Required Skills:

  • Great software design skills in C and Javascript
  • Knows or can learn web application front-end technology (XUL/HTML/CSS/Javascript)
