* you’ve built a wireless company (large or small)

Waterloo
Apologies, got busy and dropped the ball on making this a monthly event (MoFo). But it’s back and now regularly on Thursdays so it’s MoTh from here on in.
The point of MoTh is to build a stronger wireless community in Waterloo. From the original MoFo announcement:
Waterloo has a up swell of wireless companies, I guess that really isn’t a surprise. We’re interested in building a stronger wireless (startup) community here. Sure at some point we may be in competition with each other for talent, space, etc… but I’ve seen firsthand how a tight community can benefit everyone. So if:
* you’ve built a wireless company (large or small)
* you’re building a wireless startup (large or small)
* you’re thinking about building one
* you’d like to join a wireless startup
* you just want to have a beer on a Friday Thursday afternoon
Hope to see you Thursday, August 6th, 4PM at McMullens. Patio if it is nice or inside if it is cold/rainy.

A while back I mentioned building a Wireless Community of Startups, but this time less talking and more doing. So there’s MoMo (Mobile Monday’s), Wireless Wednesdays. MoTh just didn’t have the right feel so MoFo it is.

An Anaconda Opportunity Originally uploaded byabsencesix
Sadly no opportunities for Anaconda’s but it was the best “Opportunity” picture I could find.So we’re looking for a couple of people to join us at ParkVu.
First role would be for someone with .NET skills to work on a long term consulting project. The project itself is pretty crazy and has the potential to shakeup an industry. No really it does. Ideally we’re looking for someone who also likes the idea of financial modeling, market theory and the travel industry. The project is computationally intensive and runs on ec2 with heavy use of Simple DB. This role also has the potential to work on ParkVu’s core technology.
Next we’re looking for another .NET developer to join us at ParkVu. Again we work exclusively in the cloud, so you’ll get exposed to pretty much the full spectrum of Amazon services. Ideally you’re also open to dabbling in Java with mobile platforms/clients. We’d also definitely consider someone with Java experience who’s willing to dabble in .NET too. C++ is cool with us.
If you’re interested shoot us an email at info@parkvu.com or come out to MoFo

Waterloo
Larry mentioned that he’s not seeing that many opportunities floating around, so I thought I’d list some that I’m aware of in Waterloo.
- Covarity (my previous baby) is hiring testers, developers, admins and customer care people.
- AideRSS is looking for a UX Developer (not designer). Ideally you have strong Rails & Javascript fu.
- Miovision is growing quickly and hiring asp.net developers
- Primal Fusion is looking for a UX Designer. Get to work with B-cubed which is definitely a good thing.
EDIT: if you know of other (public) opportunities, please just add them to the comments.
