Coding In Paradise

My friends David Barrett and Travis Kalanick are looking for AJAX developers for the company they work for, Red Swoosh. I know David through the open-source P2P community, back in the day when I was working on P2P Sockets and Paper Airplane, while I met Travis recently at the SuperHappyDevHouse meetups. David has done all sorts of cool stuff, including QwikiWiki as well as an interesting P2P screen-sharing and collaboration application he's hacking on named iGlance.

I asked them to write up a small job posting on what they are looking for so I could post it here for them; I don't usually post job entries but I wanted to help them. David's told me a bit what they are planning, which is a very cool AJAX interface for the peer-to-peer product they have developed:
