Made an account just to reply to this, because it sounds like an incredible opportunity. I do not have a fast connection, but I would love to have a job that was essentially paying me to live in an area with Google Fiber. I certainly don't expect to get hired speculatively, I'm just hoping to get a couple answers and maybe try to make some future plans.

What kind of duration do you typically hire uploaders for? With five+ people uploading 1000 scenes per week you would exhaust all the content on Videobox in under a month - is this an ongoing job for competent uploaders, something your employees actually live off of, or more like a supplemental short-term gig?

Also, is there any particular reason this is being done "manually"? Even if you don't have APIs on both the downloading and uploading ends to plug together, surely this job can be automated to some degree? Unless there's something I'm missing here, I feel like a few weeks of scripting together a solution could make the other four uploaders redundant.

Thanks!
