We have several enterprise partnerships and work with hundreds of makers and hackers; our only HN post spent a day as #1.

Requirements:

  * Interest in teaching mobile devices, robots, and webapps new tricks.
  * Interest in helping computers interface with the unstructured real world.
  * Desire to work with the whole gamut of technologies,
       and the desire to learn what you don’t know.

  * Must be highly proficient with either Python or both Rails and Ruby.
       Must be willing to learn the other.
  * Must be comfortable working and scripting in a Linux command line environment.
  * Bonus: proficiency in JavaScript and frontend web design, or 
       skill and interest in designing high-performance backend cloud infrastructure.
If you’re good at backend web development and are also interested in vision, we’ll make sure you’ll get to learn on the job.

  * $5000
  * 12 weeks
  * Breakfast and lunch provided
