Here's the quote from our software engineering ad:
You are driven, smart, and collegial. Most of your peers think you’re among the smartest people they know.
Obligatory bullets:
BS/BA or higher in CS or a related field Preference to solve causes, not symptoms 0-5 years of postgraduate experience Ability to close projects
Note that we do not mention our technology stack above. We believe the “right” people will be successful regardless of the specific technologies they have used in the past. That said, you do get bonus points for experience with: Ruby, Rails, Perl, C++, Apache, Oracle, Postgres, git. More bonus points for contributions to open source projects.
... The closest person we have to an HR rep was a technical manager at DEC for many years.
