RECRUITING 101

gistfile1.m

I am contacting you for a couple of reasons:

1.) You have a Purdue CS degree.

2.) You told me not to contact you.

3.) You obviously like iOS stuff - http://stackoverflow.com/users/53835/sahil

4.) Your website is INCREDIBLE: http://sahild.com/

errr. But really, we are looking for iOS engineers and you seem cool and smart and stuff. 

You can find the job description for our iOS position below. If you are interested in chatting, please let me know so we can arrange a time to connect.

Skills & Requirements

NETWORKING: Strong understanding of mobile networking best practices: request limiting, request caching, batching, content aggregation, minification, integrating with rest and tcp/udp services, etc.
PERFORMANCE: Expert performance profiler: understands the importance of optimizing for speed, memory usage and end-user responsiveness.
CONCURRENCY: Comfortable using asynchronous, multi-threaded, parallel programming paradigms and other techniques to maximize UI responsiveness.
USERINTERFACE: You know how to make the unthinkable happen: long data lists, and thousands of images don’t scare you. Animations are cake.
APIs: You know all the APIs inside and out. Your knowledge of obscure parameters scares authors of technical books.
