Mi amigo, colega y compañero Javier Fernández, hasta ahora software development manager en Fon, quiere enfrentarse a nuevos retos fuera de Fon por lo que la que considero una de las posiciones más interesantes relacionadas con tecnología en Madrid se queda vacante.

Todo lo que hemos vivido juntos a nivel profesional Javier y yo necesitaría de una colección de posts pero hasta que la escriba, solo puedo desearle lo mejor en esta nueva etapa profesional.

Aquí os dejo la descripción formal del puesto. Si hay alguien interesado me puede contactar a mi directamente:
