WorldEvolved

My name is Ittai Balaban. I have recently completed a Ph.D. at NYU in the field of software formal verification, when I decided to join a funded New York City based internet start-up. The start-up has been progressing quickly. We have many upcoming and challenging projects and we are looking for new members to join our technology team. Since the scale of the project is large and the market we are going after is one of the largest opportunities out there, we have already attracted a great group of PhD's and Masters with more joining in May. We have several full-time openings and are looking for talented and motivated software engineers graduating with a bachelor's degree, master's degree or PhD. Recruits would be able to work on a variety of massively scalable systems. Since we just started in May, it's still early enough to have a huge impact and to be a part of some amazing technical achievement!

In order to apply, you must have:

* 3+ years experience using Unix/Linux to run and deploy applications
* 3+ years experience with Java, Python or other object oriented and scripting languages (C#, JavaScript, PHP, Perl, Smalltalk, Lisp)
* Basic knowledge of UML
* Work on a team project
* Experience with J2EE and Java Servlets
* Experience writing unit and system integration tests
* Familiar with synchronous and asynchronous communication models
* Understanding of basic cryptographic primitives: hashing, signatures, encryption, shared keys
* Demonstrated building and deploying an application or system

Other skills we are looking for in applicants include:

* Experience with publish/subscribe systems
* Background in security
* Experience with Eclipse and Subversion
* Experience with database development and knowledge of database internals
* Background in massively-scalable distributed systems
* Experience using machine learning algorithms
* Experience with web services and related methodologies, including REST-style APIs
* Experience using and developing peer-to-peer systems
* Understanding of HTTP requests, network sockets

Interested applicants should send their resume and unofficial transcript to

Here is some background information about our start-up:

WorldEvolved is the second venture for Heidi Messer and Stephen Messer, the sister and brother team who founded, built and sold LinkShare Corporation (http://www.linkshare.com) acquired by a Japanese portal for $425m in 2005. The transaction is widely recognized as one of the most significant investor exits in the New York new media market in the last decade. For more information, visit http://www.linkshare.com/press/rakuten.shtml. Having revolutionized the world of e-commerce with their last company, the Messers are in the process of launching a new game changing initiative. They are now recruiting an elite team and add to an already talented pool of Ph.D developers and experienced Internet executives. The company is still in stealth mode and thus information on what is being developed will only be provided after an initial screening of prospective candidates who have signed non-disclosure agreements. The company is headquartered in midtown in New York City.
