London, UK — Fountain Digital Labs (http://www.fountain-digital.com)

We're working on the interactive video app and building both the client part (iOS) and the video processing backend (Python/ffmpeg). Currently looking for a Python developer, Video Streaming Engineer, iOS developer and UI/UX designer, all full-time in London. We're based at Google Campus.

It's seven of us, with three people located in London. These will be our first hires, so your influence on the end product is only limited by your own capacity. For the same reason we're super serious about picking the right people and should we find them, ready to treat them very well with interesting engineering tasks and cookies. It's great to work here, really.
