I’m moving to Seattle.

Anyone need (or know anyone that needs) a code monkey up there?

I will code for money (WOW gold preferably, but USD will suffice) or food (and by food I mean beer).

So Photometria is hiring again. We’re looking for software developers in really any language and any level of experience (entry to senior). We do development in actionscript on the Flex framework.

The official description (no, I didn’t write that):

Software Engineer

Are you a power hacker who enjoys challenging and diverse problems? Does your keyboard sound like the Rachmaninoff piano concerto? Do you get excited creating highly interactive and visual applications? Do your friends like using them? Do you want your code to be used by millions more people? Would you thrive in an intense, fast moving, and fun environment of a startup? If you answered “yes” to these questions, then Photometria wants you!

Job Description: You will be involved in working on our industry-leading taaz.com web site. TAAZ combines powerful, cutting-edge computer vision technologies with unique user-interface techniques to create an amazingly simple virtual makeover tool. Most code is written in ActionScript (Flex), Javascript, and C++. Candidates are not expected to be Flex experts, but experience with Flex or other dynamic languages like Python or Ruby is a big plus. We are seeking candidates at all levels (from those with no-experience to very senior engineers). Candidates need to be self-motivated, possess strong programming skills, and be excited about learning new things. Positions are full time or contract-to-hire.

About Us: Photometria Inc., is a San Diego technology company whose virtual makeover web site, TAAZ, has attracted two million visitors in the five months since its launch. Underneath an intuitive and attractive interface and hidden from the user, Photometria, a spinout from the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), exploits a confluence of technologies in computer vision, computer graphics, and machine learning. Users start by uploading their own digital photo and then experiment with a palette of thousands of colors and shades of makeup product, colored contact lenses, and hairstyles. The results are immediate and incredibly realistic. Taaz.com’s social network allows users to share images and makeovers with friends. Beyond its own web site, Photometria is partnering with top brands, retailers, and media. We encourage applicants to visit Taaz and experience our technology first hand.

Apply: Email your resume to jobs@photometria.com . Include references to the websites you have helped build and explain your role. Position is in the San Diego office. You can start as soon as possible, and the pay is negotiable.

This is actually kind of old news. Anyway, taaz is a website where you can do virtual makeovers for free.

I made a video yesterday

So the company I’m working for is currently hiring. We’re looking for a programmer to do work in Adobe Flex (basically building flash applications in actionscript). There’s no requirement that you know flex, only that you’ve programmed before in some normal language and have some basic fundamentals down (OOP and stuff..). If you’re at all interested, it doesn’t hurt to apply. (seriously, even I got the job…) It’s a lot of fun and you will get the opportunity to meet the author of this blog. :O

The details are here. I think the job is also posted on PortTriton (UCSD’s job search thing - where I found it) and Monster. The company website is here. Let me know if you have questions and such.

Good luck!
