Hello, I'm currently working for a client who needs a Software Engineer with strong experience developing in the Firefox environment. I've posted the job description on various job boards and also sent it to a few mailing lists. I'm however not getting the type of feedback I was hoping for. In other words, I would truly appreciate if you could please advice me on how to reach these - so rare - software engineers :-) I've enclosed the job description below for your consideration. Please feel free to forward it to some of your old co-workers or friends who may be interested in such an opportunity. I truly appreciate your help! JOB DESCRIPTION: My client, located in San Jose, CA, is an exciting new start-up out to change the world. Sure, lots of people say that, but they mean it. They are going to fundamentally change the way people use their mobile devices. Bold claim? Sure, but their investors believed them. Perhaps you should check it out for yourself. Which brings us to... Brilliant, energetic, motivated. Never shies away from a challenge. Is this what you would post to an online dating service? Probably not. However, if this describes you, you are their kind of people. This critical component of our delivery story will involve custom development within the Firefox framework.

A detailed working knowledge of Mozilla IDL and XPCOM and the Firefox code base. You should be able to navigate the Document Object Model (DOM) blindfolded. Vast experience with C++, Javascript and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). You should be equally comfortable working in the Windows and Linux operating systems. You should have 4 to 6 years of experience, with a Bachelors or Masters degree.
