Re: Seeking a Linux or Unix programming guru for CTO position [Commercial]

Both the CTO and developer positions offer higher salaries and much more 
upside potential than top multinationals in India offer for similar 
positions ... we're building a small "dream team" and need to find 
incredible developers who love creating technology.

CTO qualifications:
- Excellent C++ and OOPS experience;
- Extensive Unix/C (systems programming) knowledge (e.g. IPC, networking);
- SQL experience;
- (Optional) Perl experience;
- Extensive and successful project management experience working at or with 
multinational companies;
- Creative and very intelligent;
- A natural leader who can motivate and support a team of software 
developers under deadline pressure;
- Honesty and integrity;

Developer qualifications:
- Guru in either C++, Linux, databases, systems programming, or Perl;
- Very intelligent. CS degree from a top school and top academic record are 
preferred;
- Exceptional past achievements (either technically or academically);
- Team player, hard worker;
- Honesty and integrity;

If you are a remarkable candidate for either the CTO or developer 
positions, please apply. Absolute confidentiality is assured, and we will 
make compelling offers to the right candidates.

If you know someone exceptional who would be truly outstanding for either 
of these positions, please email me about them (CTO@xxxxxxxxxxxx). We are 
offering a finder's fee (and my gratitude) to the person initially 
responsible for introducing us to a candidate that we hire -- Rs. 50000 for 
the CTO position and Rs. 25000 for any other position. I'm placing details 
of this offer at http://belzabar.com/apply/finder.html.

Subject: Seeking a Linux or Unix programming guru for CTO position

We've had a tough time finding someone with the right credentials to be our 
Chief Technology Officer in India, so I'm hoping that someone on this list 
would either be qualified for this position or know someone who is. It is a 
fantastic opportunity for the right candidate, with a great base salary and 
enormous upside potential.

Our company, Belzabar Software Development LLC, is an innovative New 
York-based startup that will be opening an office in India in one of the 
high-tech cities. We are working on a number of interesting Internet and 
non-Internet software development projects that are both server-based and 
client-based. We love Linux for server-side and database-backed apps, and 
usually create client-based front ends for Windows.

Although we are developing server- and client- based applications and not 
OS software, we are looking for someone who is knowledgeable and 
comfortable with systems-level programming (IPC, networking, etc via 
C/Unix) as well as application-level programming in C++. Database 
experience would be nice too. The reason is that high volume systems can 
benefit from a real performance advantage when the capabilities of the O/S 
are leveraged.

We want candidates for the CTO position to have experience managing 
software projects and motivating developers, although we will also be 
hiring developers who do not need to have management experience. (The 
developer positions are also very well paid and offer great upside 
potential, and can be applied for online.)

If you have the qualifications for this position or know someone who has, 
or if you have ideas for where we should look to find candidates with these 
qualifications, please send a letter or CV to us at CTO@xxxxxxxxxxxxx We 
will maintain complete confidentiality.

Thanks and very best regards.

Sincerely,
David Bodnick
