In short: they're building the dream team. They don't use dumb words like rockstar and ninja: they're looking for quietly competent developers with a taste for travel.
Additional experience with CSS, JavaScript/JQuery, GIS, Git, Linux, and experience with contributing to open source projects are definite pluses.
Before you apply you need to pass this little test of mine. If you fail any portion of of this test then we won't consider hiring you.
- Can you get to the office or are you willing to move closer? When you begin, you need to be able to get to New York City, New York every day of the week. Over time you can work out telecommuting options.
- Are you a solitary developer? I'll throw away any responses from recruiters and consulting firms.
- Bonus Question: Not a requirement but do you have any open source contributions from any languages to share?
- Can you send your resume to my email address 'hidden' in the code below? To do that, you'll need to know enough about Python to run this code:
numbers = [83, 101, 110, 100, 32, 114, 101, 115, 117, 109, 101, 32, 116, 111, 32, 112, 121, 100, 97, 110, 110, 121, 64, 112, 121, 100, 97, 110, 110, 121, 46, 99, 111, 109, 32, 119, 105, 116, 104, 32, 115, 117, 98, 106, 101, 99, 116, 32, 111, 102, 32, 39, 108, 111, 102, 116, 121, 39]
''.join([chr(x) for x in numbers])

Nice little recrutement test, unfortunately I fail at number 1 (currently living in the south of France) and 0 (I'm self employed and loving it).
Fun read though
Hope you build your dream team

@David,
South of France? I don't blame you for wanting to stay! Anyway, the team is already pretty dreamy, they just want it dreamier. :)
For me, it’s Lake Constance and I’d just like to participate as a Freelancer... ;-)
BTW: Your feed’s missing a link to your blog!
@Hraban- just do a morning commute across the globe! :)
More like bytearray(numbers).
I do believe the subject should read "[108, 111, 102, 116, 121]" for any serious applications :P
Cute python test. :-)
Very good idea to get interested python developers intrigued.
