clients and initial product-market fit that is making sophisticated
cloud-based solutions for radio stations.

RadioKit seeks remote senior Vala programmer to take over development of
some standalone, multiplatform (windows, linux, mac, ios) tools that are
core components of RadioKit distributed systems.

Systems in general have microservices architecture, tools written in Vala
are installed on end-user devices and have to be very reliable. They are
written in pattern similar to Redux (http://redux.js.org/) so knowledge of
such patterns is welcome. They in most cases act as a daemons that have
embedded web-based UI written in React.JS.

Requirements:

- Good understanding of Vala
- Good understanding of HTTP/WebSockets in theory and libsoup in practice
- GStreamer knowledge enough to construct and understand simple pipelines
- At least fair understanding of Autotools
- Good attitude to test-driven development
- Right to act as a contractor to the EU-based company (if must have a
company or be self-employed, or be an EU citizen)

Welcome but not necessary:

- Knowledge of React.JS
- Experience in compiling GLib apps on Android (JNI) and/or Mac OS X/iOS
- Experience in configuring CI
- Experience in debian packaging
- Experience in cross compilation on Linux

The job consists of series of tasks that can be done one after another or
in chunks, so it may be either one 3-6 months long contract or longer
relationship without full-time commitment.

Please send your offers with

- any sort of portfolio/github link/whatever that shows your skillset
- proposed renumeration scheme
- your availability
