Hey ACMers- Looking for an exciting tech job? I know you are, because I was in the same position a few months ago. I am a former U of I student, and since January I've been working at Slide, the cool new startup founded by Max Levchin (another UIUC ACM alum and co-founder of PayPal). We do web, windows, and mac development, and we're in need of a few more good engineers (job descriptions are below). We're a fast growing, fast moving company based in San Francisco (and I mean actually in San Francisco, about 4 blocks from the Bay). If you're very smart, driven, and hard-working, and want a great job, please email me your resume. Take care, Nick Smith www.slide.com Windows Programmer: We are doing some amazing things with our desktop client. Video/Audio support, real-time notifications, chat, super-tight desktop integration, and a damn sexy interface. We need someone who can no longer tolerate ugly MFC forms, and wants to create a really slick user application that will live on millions of desktops. Server Engineer: Servicing millions of image, audio and video requests a day is no easy task. Add in the fact that our back-end is supporting not only web page views, but also downloaded and embedded clients with real time push notification, and you have a very exciting problem to tackle. We are looking for LAMP happy coders who have experience building out highly scalable systems, and Web Developer: We have been really pushing the edges of web development using JavaScript, Flash, CSS and even some classic Web1.0 hackery to provide a hand-tuned, user focused experience. Enabling a seamless integration between the web and our downloaded clients presents many difficult and exciting challenges. Think iTunes store on crack.

Frapprs and Sliders – With our maps and tickers taking off, we desperately need to
grow our engineering team with high quality people. The best way to get these
people is through people you have worked with in the past. It is a very
exciting time at slide with a rapidly growing user base and sexy multi-platform
products. I have prepared an email template describing the positions we have
here. Please add your own color and forward it on to all of your friends.
Even if they don’t have the experience described in this letter, they may
know someone who does. ------------------------------------------------------------ Hey <FRIEND COWORKER FAMILY MEMBER RABBI> – Thought I would check in and see how things are going. Sorry

been keeping me very busy. Our flash embeds have taken off and we are getting
over 10 million ticker views and 10 million map views a day. We are working on
growing our engineering team to keep up with the demands of our users, and I
thought you might know some folks who would be interested in working here Windows Programmer: We are doing some amazing things with our desktop client. Video/Audio
