The Accelerator Building,Skybound's Waterloo location
We Are Hiring Highly Skilled C# Developers
We're looking for highly skilled C# developers to help us build Stylizer and other forthcoming Skybound products. Stylizer is a powerful and fun-to-use CSS development tool for Windows and Macintosh, and (shortly) Linux. The fruits of your labor will have a direct impact on the careers of thousands of web designers around the world.
We define “experienced” as being bored with instantiating objects, running database queries, and looping through lists of data. It means you're likely more interested in architecting class models and solving difficult computer science problems, like writing compilers, and virtualization systems. It also means you understand the value of clean, well architected code and can smell a bad class model a mile away.

- Familiar with C# 3.0, and the majority of the namespaces in the .NET framework.
