Dropcam, http://www.dropcam.com/ in San Francisco.

You can just email me directly - greg@dropcam.com. We code for the cameras and the server-side, mostly Python/C -- and there are many terabytes of data to work with. We also have an iPhone app and will possibly support more mobile platforms in the future.

We're looking for generalist engineers who know C like the back of their hand but prefer to code in a higher level language like Python 90% of the time. You should also have experience with IP/networking or a voracious enough learning appetite to get it fast: we work with protocols a lot, and not just HTTP. Linux knowledge will come in handy too ... understanding file systems, system calls, toolchains, etc a plus.

We've been too busy to write up a fancy jobs page, but there are ample sodas, salary, and equity :)




Christ, what a brilliant startup idea. I think this is the sort of thing people are looking for in terms of home surveillance -- simplicity, cost, access. Neat!


Thanks! You definitely nailed it ... I think we spend 80% of our eng. time on those three things.


What sort of positions are you looking to hire for, with what skill sets?


Updated with more detail! Thanks for asking :)
