You:
Employed, likely at a startup (or have in the past), relatively happy, current with high-end real world web 2.0 skills (Rails/RoR/Python/Django/Java etc). You LOVE to code just for the fun of it. You eat, sleep, breath tech/software.
There’s no doubt you can find a *job* – but, who cares about just another job? I’ll admit, I can get jaded with another *me-too* company, but, every once in awhile, comes an opportunity I DO  get excited about… And this is one of them:
“Do you have a pattern of contributing in a consistent & meaningful way to startups that have seen a success?”

“Does you have a github account? Does you contribute to open-source projects? Can you demonstrate that you’re a great, cutting-edge engineer that’s fit for a ground-floor startup?”

“Do you have experience in mobile Web, iPhone, Android with RoR/Java/Linux backend and/or online/ad tech/e-commerce domain experience? “

A BIVIUM EXCLUSIVE – location in the Cambridge/Arlington, MA area

Working directly with the Founder and CEO of this stealth startup who is about close their first A round in the high single millions. They already have clients lined up to buy their product.   Building the team from the ground up – multiple needs.

All prior startups these guys have worked on have been sold/acquired for strong exits – not just a small sale, but massive sales   Without an NDA can only say *mobile* and *e-commerce* * think transformative opportunity.

Openings – at least 7 as the team is empty — building from the ground up!
a) Hiring likely is a mix of Ruby/RoR/Python/Django/AJAX web apps – end to end.

b) Need a mobile hacker – J2ME/iOS/whatever

c) Need a Lead/Architect who has E-Commerce as their main background ( could be Java/J2EE or web apps with Ruby/RoR)
d) Need a Data Geek – Hadoop/Machine-Learning/ETL, profile info etc must understand big data.

e) DevOps person

f) Any super sharp/smart candidates (from fresh grads on up to Architect) who didn’t neatly fit into the first batch of needs – but have startup experience, and want to do it again!  Should have  code on github, outside coding interests etc

Big equity play here as you’re in at the groundfloor, but you*ll still get a market-rate salary as we all have bills to pay (think 60s to 130s)
We’re primarily looking for A+ players, the top 1-5% folks who have a job right now, but are looking to get in on the ground floor of something truly unique
Sounds interesting? Want to sign an NDA and learn more?

Outstanding opportunity - This is NOT your standard J2EE app.  It is high performance distributed computing, very mathematically and algorithmically intense.  It’s much closer to pure computer science than just putting together a lot of open source frameworks.

Scott Dunlop, The Bivium GroupI’ve had the pleasure of being involved in several lead stories on hiring on CNN and Money magazine, although not this particular one — I could very well have echoed and shared some of the same observations in the local Boston, MA job market for software engineers — simply put, things are dividing into the “haves” and “have nots” when it comes down to software/coding skills.

I recently had dinner with one of the original architects of the Windows 3.x kernel who has long since retired to the West Coast and had a nice long conversation with a local entrepreneur who has moved his startup to the East Coast – both, lamenting friends, colleagues and companies struggling to attract “top notch” talent — there is definitely no lack of average talent out there, but it’s the top 1-5% where the market is at it’s fiercest for competition.

With Google and many of our clients routinely paying salaries close/at six figures for a recent grad, yet a similar salary for a solid Senior/Principal software engineer — one has to ask “why” — I think this article on CNN/Money covers that ground well:

The market here in Boston, and in Silicon Valley/New York  are coming up with lots of new companies, all looking to chase a finite number of stars …. if you are a “star software engineer” looking for a top-notch firm, it can be hard to differentiate between the buzz out there — do yourself a favour, and drop me a line to sort out the real star companies from the “pretenders”.
