[p2p-hackers] Building Sr. Technical Leadership Team for New SIP/P2P Project

[Travis Parsons]

Hi – I'm Travis Parsons and I'm leading a project to create a SIP/P2P
platform to support a new consumer-oriented global network for content
access, communication, collaboration and multi-person interactive
applications.

Adam Fisk (Last Bamboo, Limewire); Jed McAleb (MetaMachine, eDonkey);
and Henning Schulzrinne (SIP co-author; Columbia University CS Chair)
are collaborating as advisors in the design of an enabling technical
architecture.

I'm building out the technical leadership team that will join this
design effort and carry out the implementation of the architecture and
functional requirements and participate in the growth of the new
company.  We're on the very front edge of a big shift in technology
that will benefit the early movers.

This project/company is based in the Bay Area of California and
working together on site as a team is preferred.  The ideal timeframe
is immediately.


Areas of focus for the project include:

•	Presence-based, social network applications
•	Peer-to-peer (P2P) distributed application architectures
•	Session Initiated Protocol (SIP) based multi-media communications
•	Ubiquitous application access, cross-device compatibility and mobility
•	Open platform orientation for creation and delivery of third-party
applications to end users


Ideal team members possess the following skills and experiences:

•	Experience managing large projects, preferably including
coordination of automated testing, builds, and code coverage.
•	P2P/distributed computing experience.
•	Network programming experience (TCP and UDP).
•	Understanding of SIP preferred.
•	Object oriented design skills and experience using design patterns.
•	XML experience.
•	Experience with "agile" processes preferred, code reviews,
test-driven development, etc.
•	Java experience.
•	C/C++ experience.
•	Experience working with multiple platforms and mobile devices preferred.
•	Ability to learn new protocols quickly.
•	Experience scaling large systems to many thousands of simultaneous
users preferred.
•	Must believe you are an innovator.
•	Must be capable of working in a limited-structure, dynamic, small
company environment and have excellent people skills.
