Looking for a top .Net platform software developer for StratosCube, a start-up company based in Paris

A little job ad…

From now on until the end of April 2007, I’ll be helping – alongside with yet another Jeremy – my friend Rupert start a company, a software start-up actually. We are three enthusiast guys looking for a couple .Net platform software developers. We don’t give a damn if you master C#, Java, C++, Visual Basic or even Cobol – all you’ll have to do is hack amazing code. We want a straight-to-the point software developer with a good understanding of business in general, since the software will be aimed at easing business processes in a certain industry. I can’t disclose more information since I’m not the project owner.
You will work from home and the whole team is to meet physically, once or twice a week. Only over-than-outstanding – not to say extra-terrestrial, candidates will be considered for remote work. You can either get shares of the company, a monthly or hourly salary (if you’re a free-lancer), or agree with us on a global project fee based on deliverables (if you’re a company or a free-lancer). For your information, there are already two people working on the actual development, including myself (and I’ll be dealing with many other things like administrative shit, sales, etc.). We both are beginner in coding, not experienced developers; but we are sharp thinkers, fast movers and open-minded people. So expect some craze and fun working long hours. FYI again, it was agreed that I’m working on a part-time basis and will leave the project on April 27th 2007 (the day my contract ends), to start my own career – I will whatsoever remain involved in the project as an investor and shareholder though.

Chance is high that we’ll select someone with a potential in the mid-run to take further, managerial responsibilities (CTO or CEO). However, our main criterion remains technical excellence: we want a top software developer, a geek able to hack code like Yoda masters the lightsaber.

The actual job is likely to start in mid-December 2006. The application process is crystal clear: send me your CV (my e-mail address is here) first; I’ll contact you soon after to make an appointment. Of course, since we’re 3 people working on this project, you may expect to meet all of us separately before any decision is made. Apply only if you are looking for a great human adventure mixed with some uncertainties and if you want to have some fun, enjoying your job.
