Looking for Developers and CTO for early-stage Startup in Berlin. English and German speakers welcome, EU work-permit necessary.

Are you interested in working for an early stage startup in one of the coolest cities in the world? Perfect! After graduating from Brown University, I just finished collecting a pre-seed round for an innovative social-media startup that is still in Stealth Mode. My startup team is looking for developers experienced in App or Website development that know their way around Ruby or PHP or iOS. If you have worked with social networks before, it’s a big plus, but not necessary, as we like to attract anybody that can adapt and take on new challenges.

Why should you apply? 3 reasons: 1.) You get to create an innovative social media product from the ground up that will scale all around the world!!! 2.) We do not just offer money, but also significant equity, so that you directly profit from the financial upside. 3.) If you have been to Berlin before, you know that it is one of the must international, buzzing cities in the world. I assure you, Berlin is tons of fun, super cheap to live in and you don’t need to know a word of German to get around.

Contact us to apply and for more information: startup.berlin.recruiting@gmail.com

@Curtis (Ovid) Poe: I am not going to make an ad hominem retort directed at you as I am aware of your contribution to Perl and also that you are legally bound by Booking.com not to speak ill about them.

All that I am saying is, there are a lot of ways of making money and it isn't correct to put your reputation at stake to advertise a tainted company such as Booking.com for a couple of thousand euros.

The frequent advertisement for developers is not only due to the exodus of senior devs (including you) from the company but also because booking is trying to create a redundant pool of devs so that the business doesn't get effected by this employee churn.

If an employee complains he/she is asked to leave the company and all that is because they have a huge cash reserve built out of years of underpaying developers and exploiting hotels.

Years of copy paste has made the code unmaintainable and I am not talking about the new code Aevar and you had written for Booking::Search but Booking::Maxotel, Availability, Policy system, Search::Which, Search::When, etc. I have never seen a company which rebukes its developers for refactoring or treat its developers like dogs except at Booking.

As they have a real bad reputation in the Perl community they are trying to get developers from other communities who are ignorant.

Booking.com not only mistreats its developers they also bully the hotels using their monopoly.

Successful lawsuits have been filed against the company for price fixing as can be googled.

Only if a dev is unemployed should he consider working for Booking.com. There are a lot of good companies and they are actively seeking employees including here in the UK.

Today, the extraction task lives on as a ruby job wrapping a set of high performance C functions.
