Menlo Park, CA

Gibi - http://gibitechnologies.com/

We're a GPS tracking+web app product company, still very young with a LOT to do.

We're looking for our second technical hire; preferably someone with high traffic environment experience (hundreds of thousands of devices updating their information and configuration multiple times/hour via TCP connections). We're not a typical LBS startup :)

We're small, just 3 of us currently. You'll get a huge amount of freedom to choose our technology and platform. Right now our proof of concept is LAMP, but I know we'll need something better for high volume TCP traffic.

If you're interested in dealing with real location data, high traffic environments and delivering a reliable product contact me.

Are these positions for local candidates only? Im a Front End Developer but not in Austin (at the moment).

Well, you'd have to move here, but a relocation budget would be provided.

I completely respect your company's requirement for locals, but I am genuinely curious as to why companies continue to insist on local presence for most all positions. I can guess at what the perceived benefits would be, but would really like to hear from an actual hiring manager what their actual reasons are. Are the reasons more about control, or economics?

Unpaid internships are illegal in Canada, by the way, so you'd have to be hiring/getting help from someone out of the country.

Do you have any references to back this up? I would be interested in seeing them. Our lawyer (a well known technology partner at a large Vancouver firm: http://www.cwilson.com/people/10-profiles/69-brock-smith/pro... ) had no qualms with this type of offer. Bit of an aside: in my experience unpaid internships can work out quite well for everyone involved, provided everyone is very unfront and transparent about expect…

I seem to be mistaken. Unpaid internships are illegal in most provinces in Candada, I suppose not BC though.
