I'd be really interested in this, but in reading the description, it sounds like you want German and English. Could you live with English and Italian, provided that everything else is there?


Wouldn't it be illegal to discriminate against Italian speakers in the Confederazione svizzera?


I don't know, but I'm not even concerned with that. For one, I'm not a Swiss citizen - I'd have work rights through my EU citizenship. Second, with any work that I do, I want to be successful. If everyone is speaking German, I'm not going to be too productive. If they can handle my English or Italian, then we're in business.

I live in the US, and it's common to want certain language(s) for our various roles. We don't have a national language ourselves.


we are looking for brilliant people, please apply / send me a message.


Excellent - I will be submitting an app today. Assuming I had the correct person, I send you a note on LinkedIn, but if you prefer email I have it in my profile here. Thanks again.


Too late to edit my own post so I'll reply - I applied, mentioned Hacker News in the cover letter.
