Experienced Peer-to-Peer Software Engineer
BitTorrent is looking to hire an exceptional engineer with real peer to peer experience. Candidates must have written code which sends real peer to peer packets over the real internet. Simulation doesn't count. HTTP and everything else RPC-ish doesn't count. If you don't know what that last sentence means, you shouldn't apply.
This is a full time gig. BitTorrent Inc. has been around for a while but still has a significant equity stake as part of compensation. We're in downtown San Francisco, and our application is getting over a quarter of a million new installs per day.
Requirements:
- experience writing peer to peer software
- fluency in C/C++
To apply for this job, send a resume, in plain text format, to: jobs@bittorrent.com and include "Experienced Peer-to-Peer Software Engineer" in the subject.
