Apogee

Dear Robert,
In general, we are looking for people with a strong computer science base with understanding of system level programming such as computer architecture, compilers, and operating systems.
In addition to the open positions listed below, I think it might be good to concentrate on graphics.
For this, experience with JavaFX and OpenGL ES 2.0 would be helpful.
Of course, a good candidate with other interests such as VM development or artificial intelligence would also be welcome.
I would not turn away anyone who seems to be really good, but would rather work on other parts of our product.
The important thing is that they enjoy the work they are doing and continue to develop professionally.
Thanks,
James
