Earlier quoted context omitted.

Who are from the USA or Canada.

An equivalent ATAR score is fine.

There isn't really an equivalent. SAT is a battery test that applies the same questions to each cohort, ATAR is a composite index of a school leaver's final subject scores. Different students can have different subjects but end up with the same ATAR.

I guess I'm nitpicking because the whole minimum SAT thing just bugs me. I imagine lots of other people self-select out too.

We do business in 100s of countries. We’ve raised $40M recently and our website attracts 2.5M unique users monthly, push 20M pages, and run at 4.5k rpm. But we’re still a startup—which means you get to make a difference in a booming, successful business.

All that with the usual startup perks - cool office in Soho near all of the famous London landmarks, brand new Macbook, unlimited coffee, table football, and even an office dog. Although someone did suggest we get a snake instead.

Please apply via the following link:

Software Engineer at Aircloak - REMOTE ((UTC +2) +- 2) My name is Sebastian, and I am the CTO at Aircloak. Aircloak is a young and well-funded startup working on privacy preserving data processing and analytics. We are a spinout from the German Max-Planck Institute for Software System research institute and receive a lot of backing and support from the institute and their extended network. Our technology allows us to…

I believe there is no point in sending application by someone who is fluent in C++ and C, but have a basic knowledge of Erlang/OTP (but strong grasp of FP in general). I mean, if you receive tons of applications and you're picky, you're looking for an existing expertise.

Product:

ShowKit is a mobile software development kit that turbo charges apps with live communication features in under 30 minutes. Before ShowKit, it would take companies and software engineers months of intensive development to add features like audio/video conferencing, screen sharing, and gesture control to their applications. Our first-to-market gesture control functionality empowers users to tap, swipe, highlight, and fully control another users’ screen remotely while simultaneously connecting the two users via audio/video conference.

Notably, ShowKit is the only framework that includes hardware accelerated video encoding & decoding. This enables 720p at 30fps, the highest quality video conferencing resolution on the market, while using minimal cpu resources and allowing the app to run seamlessly in the background while a call is taking place. Comparable solutions use full cpu resources & only achieve 4-5fps at that resolution, which isn’t feasible for video conferencing.
