CypherChat - Software Engineer - REMOTE
   =====================================
   ================ Us =================
   =====================================

We're building a completely frictionless encrypted messaging service.
Our goal is to bring privacy and security to the unsophisticated masses, by targeting users who value those qualities in principle but won't compromise "for-your-grandmother" ease of use. Eventually, we'll be replacing conventional telephony/SMS.
Team:
    * Ryan Lester (Washington, DC): Carnegie Mellon, SpaceX, Napster.fm, YC Hacks
    * Josh Boehm (Los Angeles): SpaceX, Napster.fm, Baron of the Principality of Sealand

Status:
    * Funded
    * Pre-launch, but with a working (very alpha) version of the product
    * We have a nice office in the DC area, which you'd have the option to work out of

   =====================================
   ================ You ================
   =====================================

You would be our first hire, so you'd get to help establish the company culture and probably end up managing a dev team. Right now, you'd be working directly with the founders.
If you have strong (mobile) UI/UX skills, you'll be a great fit.
Ideally, you'd be willing to start before the end of September (the earlier the better).
We don't care much whether you've already used any of these, but you need to be willing to work with the following technologies:
    * JavaScript (okay, you should have at least used this one)
    * Titanium (compiles JS/XML to cross-platform native apps; it's hella dope)
    * Crossrider (cross-browser extension framework)
    * OTR
    * XMPP
    * WebRTC

   =====================================
   =========== Compensation ============
   =====================================

We'll pay well. We can negotiate the amount and the equity/cash ratio based on your preferences and qualifications/experience.
If necessary, we may be willing to provide hardware.
Also, any interest in being paid in Bitcoin? (I haven't looked into the recent IRS guidelines on this, so it may be a horrible idea. If you live outside the US, though, this could possibly turn out to be really convenient. I'll talk to our lawyer about it.)
