I have a close friend (a telecommuter like me) who’s recently decided to hit the job market. As an experiment, I figured I would put out a line to my THRONGS of readers who might be able to hook him up with a quality opportunity. (I say experiment because there’s some risk I’ll get a deluge of emails for poorly matched jobs. Or that I’ll get none at all. We’ll see.) Here’s what my friend has to say about what he’s seeking:

I’m trolling for a startup — small enough that I can make a big impact as an individual contributor, but established at least to the point where they can pay me and have benefits. Ideally, a place that needs scalability/performance work measured in orders of magnitude, that’s what really gets my pulse racing and what I’ve excelled at in the past. I’m pretty much language agnostic, but my strongest languages are C and Perl.

I can personally vouch for him as one of the best engineers I know. You’ll never find someon like him by sifting through resumes, and he’s amazing at optimization. You should hire him. If you have something that fits well with what he’s looking for, and you’re willing to hire a telecommuter (which you should be), then drop me an email (see left sidebar).

(p.s. no 3rd-party recruiters — my rule, not his.)
