Brian J. Cardiff

I may open a new position for the Turso team. @penberg and I are debating if the person we are looking for even exists, but if you think you can prove to us that you can do this job, we'd love to chat. The job is to work on the Turso SDKs. The reason we find this position very hard is that you would have to understand Rust and C well enough to work on the interfaces and build systems of SQLite (not the database itself), write FFIs, understand how to build and link shared objects, and other low level stuff. But at the same time be comfortable working in higher level languages and ecosystem. Each ecosystem is very unique, and to thrive in each of them, you need to be able to understand not just how to code in that language, but details of the ecosystem. For example: in Javascript, many non-node runtimes make it essentially impossible to link to our binary, so you need to have an HTTP implementation. In go, it is possible to link to a binary, but that requires CGO, which the community dislikes. This requires much more than the technical ability to work in many languages, but the human empathy to understand those communities and what matters to each of them. We'd like to not only improve our existing SDKs, but also have SDKs for Swift, Dart, Java, Android, Elixir, you name it. Is this you? Do you exist? If yes... DM =)
