** NOTE: This is a IMAP developer job announcement. **

The Inbox team is looking for exceptional engineers to work on the IMAP
sync components that power the Inbox API. We are a team of engineers that
previously worked at Dropbox, Nest, Ksplice, Google, and elsewhere, and
we're building the next-generation platform for email apps.

This position is for an engineer to join our backend systems team and work
on the core Inbox sync engine, which is an essential part of the Inbox API.
Our sync engine handles downloading mail, performing queued actions,
resolving conflicts, and maintaining compatibility across all various IMAP
providers and protocol quirks. Nearly all of this code is free open source
software on GitHub: https://github.com/inboxapp/inbox


Our ideal candidate has

- Substantial experience with the IMAP protocol
- A desire to bring great software design and implementation to a
mainstream audience
- Strong Python coding skills with a deep understanding of language
fundamentals
- Experience with operating systems, performance instrumentation, and
service-oriented architectures
- Familiarity with SQLalchemy, MySQL, Gevent, or web services is a plus,
but not required


When applying, please include

- Brief statement about yourself and how you see a potential mutual fit
with the team
- Resume in Text or PDF form.


You can do this job from anywhere in the world. But if you would like to
move to San Francisco, we will cover relocation and help you get settled.


Please forward to anyone who may be interested. Thanks!

Kind of seems like bad taste to send that/this email, but I suppose this list doesn't really even have any rules (especially nowadays), since it's not even IETF related.. And since nobody has so far at least publicly complained about this thread, and I've been actually interested in sending a similar mail myself in here, thinking maybe somebody could be interested, here it goes:

Me, too!

Dovecot the company needs admins, coders and all kinds of other people. Some immediately, some in near future and some in maybe more far future. If you (or someone you know) are interested in being part of such a company in any way in ANY (!! - not just technical) position, let me know. Where you live doesn't matter much, because we're already a very global company (and especially for admin jobs that's more of a bonus if you're not in the same timezone as others). My current thinking is that I'll be setting up a SF bay office in ~1 month, but this mainly depends on some personal issues, so might not happen. Our HQ is in Espoo, Finland. We have also many potential offices in many countries where you could be located in if you don't want to work at home.
