Hey all, I know this is off-topic but considering I'm offering you a job I
thought it'd be okay.
There are 3 positions open (see below for more details): Lead Engineer, QA
Engineer, Software Engineer.
These are on-site positions. If you would like to be a remote contractor I'd be
happy to speak with you but it's not while I'm most looking for at the moment.
Please send your resume to engineeringj...@ifactory.com (which goes to me and a
few others). Thanks.
Here's the 3 full position descriptions
