litl is hiring: http://litl.com

We're a Boston-based startup (but with many remote employees) building simple, maintenance-free and internet-focused computers. Our first product is called the webbook and we're currently working on our second device, a TV-centric computer.

Our software team has built a new, Linux-based user interface.

Our main offices are in Boston and London, but we have many people around the world who work out of their homes. The teams are loosely organized around tasks in each release, and as there isn't a lot of over-the-shoulder management -- in fact, the software team management is remote -- people are expected to be self-motivating. Most meetings happen over video conference, and the others are by phone. A couple of times a year we may have people come to Boston.

We're looking for:

* Build/release/tools engineers. These people will develop and shape our software release processes. There are actually two positions available. One for our operating system and one for our "Channels" (our analog to apps). These positions would also entail building tools to make development life easier.

* QA engineers. In particular we're looking for people with some programming experience to improve our testing tools and automation.

* Software developers. We have a few areas in which we're looking for specialization, but the main thing we care about is that you're really good. Some things we're interested in:

  - OpenGL
  - X
  - Linux kernel
  - Linux desktop technologies (GObject, GTK, etc.)
  - Google Chromium codebase
  - User-space audio/video stacks
  - Embedded and microcontroller developers
  - JavaScript runtimes
  - Software rasterization


I have some questions. Could you send me an email so that I can get in touch? My address is on my profile page.
