A new direction for me, and Flex developers needed!

by Josh Tynjala

On December 4, I will be joining Flash Platform team at Yahoo! in Sunnyvale, CA. It should be an extremely exciting opportunity where I’ll get to influence the direction Yahoo! takes with Flash technology, and the team hopes to release some useful components and other code to benefit the whole Flash community. Stay tuned for more on that front.

As a result, my current employer, Business Objects needs a couple of talented Flex 2 developers ASAP to fill my shoes and further expand their component development team for Crystal Xcelsius in San Diego, CA. Xcelsius is a pretty cool application that lets business users create rich dashboards and presentations with Flash components, Excel spreadsheets, and other data sources. Ideally, you should be familiar with Adobe Flex 2, MXML, Actionscript 3, and you should have a strong understanding of the architecture behind the Flex framework and the creation of custom components. Please let me know if you’re interested in learning more about these positions.

  4. Sunnyvale is in northern California by San Francisco, and San Diego is down south by the Mexican border. They’re about 500 miles apart.
