Careers @ Crank

We're always on the lookout for talented individuals who have a passion for solving interesting problems and creating great software, so if you are interested, but there's nothing here, drop us a line and tell us why we should have a position for you.

If you have experience in one or more of the areas listed below, and you are interested in exploring a position, crank out your resume to us via email.

C++/C WebKit Developer

Come and help us make the world a better place for embedded web browsers. Our customers want to take WebKit and put it in all of their products (really ... all of them!) If you want to get to know the engine that is the brains behind the Apple Safari and Google Chrome browsers, and are interested in hacking WebKit.org code then drop us a line.

• Have a very strong C++/C background.  Knowing when to use the "virtual" keyword and when not may be one of the first things we ask.
• Have experience porting software.  The expression "configure, make" rolls off your tougue as easily as 'good morning'
• Energetic and an aptitude for learning new stuff
• Not intimidated by system diversity.  Our developers regularly dive into ucLinux, VxWorks, QNX, WinCE system configurations as well as the standard Linux, MacOS, Windows desktop platforms.
• Ride a bike or play a guitar.  Not a hard requirement, but in the summer we ride bikes and this winter our Thursday night guitar club was tough competition for the bar beneath the office.
• A history of programming excellence and an understanding that there are lessons to be learned from other projects
• A coding desire to do the right thing—usability, performance, and scalability are balanced with time to market in importance
• Lots of enthusiasm and interest.
