Global Audience Web Portal - Open Source Java Team of Sr Engineers Orange County, CA

We have a few excellent opportunities for a great talent.

We're looking for team members to fully engage in the project and take it to heart and be co-creators rather than employees. This is more of a "garage-cult-like" YouTube type, yet highly professional, an incredible team being assembled. We expect a lot of innovation and creative challenges taking on a world changing idea, when it comes to development rather than a corporate, dull, 8 to 5 type of the team.
