Do you dream of a world where the browser reigns supreme, and all applications are a beautifully constructed and obsessively optimized mish-mash of cleanly namespaced JavaScript, crafty HTML and minimalist CSS? Do you wake up screaming "OH NO! NOT ANOTHER [favourite quirky browser here] BUG!" as cross-browser development haunts you in your sleep? This might be the position for you!

A little about us and how we work
- We're a small company founded in Sydney, Australia by two people and one stuffed monkey.
- Our team is distributed around the world, with team members living on 5 different continents. We don't have an office.
- Everyone works from home and sets their own hours (whether you like to start your day at 6am, 11am, or 3pm, that's fine with us :).
- We keep in touch with each other primarily over a private IRC channel, as well as email and IM.
- We have a company meet-up once a year, where we bring the whole team together.
- We love and use open source software, and try to open source everything we can.
- We're all a little bit crazy (as evidenced by one of our founders being a stuffed monkey).
