Tivo looking for a Senior Mac Developer

Dave Zatz and others wrote in about TiVo's new macintosh developer job posting.

Senior Software Engineer, Macintosh Development - CBD033

TiVo is looking for an experienced senior software engineer to work at TiVo's headquarters in Alviso , CA . The job consists of developing TiVo desktop software on the Mac platform.

Essential Requirements:

    * 5+ years software development on the Mac.
* Experience with Macintosh programming on OS X is required. Windows and/or Linux programming experience is desired.
* Proficiency in C++ and Java is required. Experience with Objective C is also highly desirable.
* Object-oriented design skills and robust coding practices are required.
* Must demonstrate the ability to develop complex applications leveraging newly written software with existing legacy code and libraries.
* The ability to work at both design and implementation levels is required.
* Excellent communication skills.
* The ability to work in a cross-platform development environment.
* BA/MA Math/CS or equivalent experience.

Desired Skills:

    * Experience with the Xcode development environment.
* Experience implementing robust communications software.
* Experience with component-based architectures.
* Experience with DRM or encryption/decryption software.

Looks like a sign TiVo is getting serious about mac software support. My OS X TiVo software wishlist would include TiVo ToGo, playback of purchased AAC files in the Home Media Option, and porting of the Home Media Engine software into a mac client (it's all java, it should work).

If you wanted to be able to use your prtected AAC files which were purchased from the iTunes Music Store, search google for an app called jHymn. This app decrypts the aac file and overwrites the protected one in your music linrary. Then you can put them onto your network and listen to them with your tivo.

I'd prefer to listen to my AAC files in a...ya know...non-sketchy way.
