Mac developers: Want to work for TiVo?

By Dave Caolo

Could this finally be a sign that TiVo is getting serious about Mac OS X support? This listing is currently on their employment opportunities page: Senior Software Engineer, Macintosh Development – CBD033.  From the posting:

"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."

If this is you, let me say good luck, and here's what I'd like to see:  A simple, TiVo-branded way to transfer video from my TiVo to my Mac, and the ability to play AAC files purchased from the iTunes Music Store via the Home Media option.
