okay, busted by finger last game so typing is horrible. but we're a
startup making a car nav with satellite imagery.
churchillnavigation.com. we're also in boulder, co. home of grass
roots ultimate - gru.org...so, if you're contemplating a move..anyway
here is the shpeel...
About us:
Churchill Navigation, located in beautiful and sunny Boulder, Colorado
is hiring! We build spectacular navigation systems (think Google earth
on steroids, only (much, much) faster, (way) better looking, and
actually available where you need it) for the high-end sports/luxury
car and even higher-end ($250,000 - $1MM+) RV market, aviation, and
specialty industries. We're looking for some outstanding Win XP
engineers (Sorry Linux folks, maybe later) with pleasant personalities
(after all, we gotta practically live with you ) to join us. The
hours are long, the work is hard, but the stock options and your
co-workers are awesome.
Python Programmer:
We're using the latest advancements in hardware accelerated 3D
graphics, but more importantly to you: our super-fast C++/OpenGL based
earth-rendering engine has a nice Pythonic interface from which you
can safely and easily command the sun to come out, control camera
position and animations, overlay all kinds of fun information, open
windows, etc. – all without having to get your hands dirty mucking
around with stuff that doesn't make pretty pictures.
And making pretty (and informative) software is a lot of what this job
is all about (Something Steve Jobs, love him or hate him, has always
known). You should have a great sense of aesthetics, superb command of
Python, better than average knowledge of SQL (Postgres gets you extra
points), and have a passion for developing truly great software.
OPEN GL Programmer:
You have a good sense of aesthetics, excellent working (as opposed to
book) knowledge of programming in C++ using OpenGL on Win XP. You
should also be comfortable and adept at doing just about whatever is
needed to get products out the door, including building Win XP
embedded, writing utilities, and UI programming -- You are the kind of
person who will do whatever it takes to make it happen, and isn't
afraid to learn something new to ensure that's the case.
Our our side, we are a small group of experienced hackers/biz types,
having done the startup thing (very successfully) before, who work and
play hard, and are doing this as much to be doing what we love as we
are for the money (though money is nice, too, and we plan on making a
lot by building great products everyone will want -- faster and better
than anyone else). Browse our web site, and if you are interested, let
us know why by dropping us a line (and some code). We promise to
respond to everyone -- quickly.
