I didn't write the job title/posting, but the description makes it clear that strong linux and programming skills are required. These folks have 10+ years of "software engineer" and "systems administrator" jobs

Your site says that you "losslessly compress images, video, and audio" - I poked around in the code a little and didn't find the compression stuff, but it doesn't make sense to me that you can do that. There is some opti
