IMVU/Palo Alto, CA
About Us:
* IMVU is an online 3D world where people connect, chat and have fun with friends
* We have a $30M annualized run rate. In 2009 we achieved profitability and doubled our revenue
* We sell virtual goods. People dress up their avatars and furnish their in-world space using our catalog of 3+ million products
* Our users create virtually all of our content: 4,000+ new items every day
Responsibilities:
* Contribute code as part of a small, smart, dynamic, agile team. As a software generalist, you'll be asked to learn our entire stack. If you are a specialist and want to stay narrowly focused and own your own code, IMVU will not be a good place for you
* Take pride in the quality of your work, continuously deploying test-driven code, delighting customers and making a difference every day.
* Voice opinions about the product and the direction of the company. We look for people who are superlative at coding and communicating with humans
Requirements:
* A strong foundation in computer science and/or math combined with demonstrable problem solving aptitude.
* 4+ years of commercial software development experience. You write code and build things because you love to, not because it's your job.
* Excellence is derived from your talent, not domain experience with specific tools. That said, it would be useful if you had recent hands on experience with windows desktop programming in C++, LAMP web infrastructure, python scripting or Flash
* Strong affinity for agile software development, continuous integration and test driven development. You are interested in, if not passionate about, infrastructure and processes that improve engineering productivity and system reliability
* Can quickly grok and make significant contributions to large systems
* Lifelong learner. Constantly experimenting and iterating. Energetic. Pragmatic. Get things done. An independent team player. Not afraid to ask for help
Bonus Points:
* Made a significant contribution to a large-scale web application
* Built a high-performance, 3D or client/server network application
* Shipped virtual worlds, MMOs or other games
* Hacked the DOM and wrangled consistent multi-browser UIs
* Passionate about designing and delivering compelling user experiences
* Contributed to open source projects (i.e. code we can review)
How to apply:
* Please join IMVU & play around before you apply. We'd like you to understand our products and work environment.
* Please include a cover letter. Make sure to discuss why you are interested in learning more about IMVU. Job applications without cover letters will not be considered.
