Ask HN: Who is hiring? (September 2014)

San Francisco, CA - Remote Core Team Members for the Utter.io Project

Introduction (The Pitch)

Utter.io is like AirBnb or Lyft for excess compute: The utter.io project provides fast location and provisioning of compute resources within a cooperative set of systems managed by OpenStack operators. Resource accounting inside the network is settled with Bitcoin and purchases of compute instances can be made by users without an account. Additionally, groups of operators can form adhoc hybrid clouds, allowing fast scaling and sharing of excess compute resources between trusted entities. If you are familiar with cloud terminology, this idea may be one possible solution to some of the challenges in achieving a global cloud federation.

It is my belief that crypto currency technologies can bring a new category to the existing cloud offerings of compute, storage, and network. That new category is trust. While conversations about how crypto currencies affect our financial systems are definitely interesting, paying for compute, storage and network with stored trust is an awe inspiring vision of the future.

More information is available on the public Github repos for the project (keep in mind the utter.io site is not live yet): https://github.com/StackMonkey

The fund raise for the Utter.io Open Source project will be done using decentralized raise methodologies sometime in early 2015 via token issuance similar to Ethereum, Maidsafe or Storj. A more traditional fund raise is currently underway for StackMonkey, and will be used to build the first of many specific knowledge based offerings on top of the technologies being built with Utter.io.

Objectives and Team Overview

This is a pre-raise, core team buildout of roughly 4-5 individuals who will join me in an Open Source project that spans two distinct technologies: OpenStack and Bitcoin. Individuals are expected to be experts in at least one of these fields and moderately versed in the other.

I am 47, well versed in both technologies, program in Python/JavaScript, have written all the software to date in the repositories, have started, run and exited other startups, live in the SF Bay Area, excel at fund raising, marketing, leading, and enabling individuals to grow in their careers. I am passionate about this project because I believe infrastructure is meant to be open, transparent and trustworthy. To me, there is no greater cause than providing individuals access to trustworthy commodity grade compute.

Desired Skills

Work will need to be conducted around operational crypto contracts, scheduling of Bitcoin micropayments, integration of blockchain nodes in the appliances, decentralized SSL tunnel solutions, OpenStack deployment methodologies, OpenStack SDN and general network architecture, distributed systems architecture, Python application frameworks, including AppEngine and Flask, UX/UI/design experience with operational software, and developer focused evangelism.

If you find this opportunity interesting, consider it worthy of your passion, and you are looking at a 2-3 month timeframe for a change in your career, please drop me a line. I'm kordless at stackmonkey dot com.

Thank you for reading and best of luck in all that you do! These are exciting times.
