Looks like those who wanted VPN on the Pre may get their wishes. It is a bit distressing this listing was posted back in May yet still hasn’t been filled. Hopefully Palm will find a developer for this soon.

VPN Network Engineer

To work with the Linux networking components to create a great networking experience for Palm’s WebOS platform. This includes modifying open-source software to meet the needs for an embedded device, developing and maintaining WebOS specific VPN networking components.

Now the second job listing was posted on the Mary-Margaret Network and really is just what the doctor ordered:

Game Frameworks Engineer

Palm is looking for developers who are passionate about gaming, handhelds, mobile communication and the possibilities for Palm in the gaming arena. The software developers we’re looking for will have strong mathematical/analytical skills and will be effective team members in a small, focused initiative.

Responsibilities:
Design, implement, debug, and optimize frameworks for game development

As you can see this second job listing was posted on June 29th, so it’s pretty fresh. Hopefully, once Palm hires a great Game Engineer, all those iPhone developers will stop bragging about the Mojo SDK been bad for games. Yes, I know, who am I kidding? They will probably (one way or another) complain anyway.
