Hey folks, first post :). A colleague recommended me to check you out and potentially post the position we’re now looking for, so here we go!
————————
Dispassionate Ericsson developers, move along. You who don’t like low-level languages, read the next job ad instead. And you who always have to feel like you’re “the best dev in the team”, you’ll have a challenge. It’s not you that we seek.
We are a happy bunch of eight who coded QBasic and won Lego championships when our friends were watching Fem myror är fler än fyra elefanter and Power Rangers. We built JayCut, later the world’s most used online video editor. About the same time that senior Google folks said that we had created the world’s best online video editor, we went ahead and sold the company to BlackBerry.
Today we develop the future tools for mobile video creation. No business as usual. Our new app Story Maker was recently launched, and the awesome reviews of it hints at our ambition. The audience is 80 million existing users. And we do it like a guerilla team, with a high degree of freedom from BlackBerry. In short, the freedom of a start-up but with the force of a behemoth company.
We’re now looking for an application developer that will play a key role in our Stockholm-based team. It will take time to find the right person, but that’s not an issue. A strong background in low-level programming is essential, likely C, C++ or Objective-C. We have no place for someone who creates ”good” code, only ”fantastic”. It’s also great with experience in GUI dev, video/graphic rendering, Qt and a bloody brilliant sense for details.
It is you that we seek. Welcome to the jungle!

Cheers,
Jonas
