Blue Plane Pty Ltd is a young dynamic company making its own mark by developing commercial quality software on the "Blue Plane". All our work is fun, challenging and unique.
We are looking for Squeakers ideally located in Sydney, Australia to work on Squeak based commercial projects.
Challenges include but are not limited to:
. Contribute to enhancement and maintenance of Squeak based systems .Porting Squeak code from 3.4 to current versions .Writing and improving SUnit tests, testing using SUnit .Working with remote objects using rST and the like (recent rST exposure would be great!). .Enhancing Squeak to create an environment more suitable for commercial apps
Also the following experience/knowledge would be well regarded: .Comanche .Seaside .Monticello .serial communications, bluetooth, TCP/IP, real time communications .Croquet .VM level programming, plug-ins, FFI .Persistent object systems .some artistic abilities and/or an artistic eye .3D Modeling/animation
Pay is dismal and the job is initially only part time, but future could be very rewarding. Currently we are having negotiations with several large companies, with the possibility for significant projects to be awarded to us. This would lead an immediate need for full time Squeak roles. Preference would naturally be given to those who have already participated or are involved in our work.
Our first round of Squeakers would ideally be based in Sydney, but we would also consider candidates who are equipped with fast reliable connection to the net willing to work remotely (may include working or staying up odd hours sometimes considering time difference). A reasonable level of English is a requirement. Being fluent in other languages sufficiently enough to help us translate our systems to those languages would be a plus. There will be opportunities to work/move to Australia if need be and also the possibility to stay remote and be a part of the remote Blue Plane developer network.
If you are interested please contact either myself or John Magnifico (john (at) blueplane.com.au) with whatever details, material, example code, martial arts, dancing, instrument playing, singing experience, etc that you see fit to make us say "wow, gotta work with him/her".
