Buddycloud, a Munich based start-up has an opening for a web developer. Initially this could be part-time (4-5 hours a night after the day job) but is likely to become permanent once we close our initial finance round.

We're looking for someone who can be both a Drupal hacker and PHP or Ruby jockey. Ideally, someone motivated to design, build, and integrate our new mobile location platform with unique ways to visualise your location-stream, friend-stream and communication-stream information. You should have a passion for new technologies and social software. If you are a developer or researcher with an interest in experimenting, designing, developing, and implementing collaborative technology tools—such as open-source on-line platforms and social software to support dynamic research processes—this is the job for you. If you are a Drupal tinkerer or developer, we’d love to meet you.

Some of the skills we're interested in are:
  • PHP
  • Ruby on Rails
  • MySQL
  • Java
  • XMPP/Jabber
  • Facebook application developemnt

Buddycloud is located in Munich with a London presence too. We have developed a rather unique (and patented) method to fingerprint locations around town and share this with your friends via mobile phone. Your role would be working with our designer to give us a web presence.

The position would be compensated with equity in the business commensurate with your effort.
