We're always looking for smart, fun, and interesting co-workers!
We hire people we want at our company, when they're available. We don't hire for specific positions, because we have none. Every individual person who works for us takes the initiative to either find existing projects or create new projects that they strongly believe will improve all areas of our lives, the lives of many, many others in all walks of life and in all geographies, as well as the stability and health of our group.
So, if you:
-
Are wildly passionate about helping to build one cool thing
after another that other people love to use
-
Can't stand to leave something you've done alone if it's not
"perfect"; oh, and "perfect" changes at least once a week,
sometimes several times per day
-
Spend far too much time searching out new and interesting
puzzles or projects to wrap your mind around and figure out
-
Are unreasonably frustrated when things don't work "right", and
your mind automatically goes through a dozen ways it could be
"fixed"
-
Annoy everyone you know by repeatedly telling them about the
latest cool new tech / game / etc. you just discovered and can't put
down
Then you might just be
exactly the right fit!
Still with us? Good! You can actually read! Yay! That's a
first, easy-but-critically-important step.
Here's the next step: Send us
your answers to these
questions:
-
Describe what you were working on the last time you
"accidentally" stayed up all night coding (or, for non-coders,
otherwise working on any project, personal or otherwise).
-
Coders: Tell us about the last time you tried
(successful or not) to build a compiler / interpreter / VM /
debugger / etc.
Marketeers: Tell us about the last time you created
(launched or not, successful or not) a new brand / marketing
campaign / cute character or pattern / etc.
Others: Tell us about the last time you spent so much
time building something that your parent(s) / friend(s) /
significant other / kid(s) complained about it
more than
once during the same session
.
NOTE: Must be different from #1 in this list!
-
Explain the best thing you feel a company can do. Use
examples.
- Define "right" in #4 in the previous list on the page.
But wait! There's more! Each answer must also:
-
Be at least 100 words long, and use proper grammar.
Exceptions are A) it makes us laugh, AND it answers the
question sufficiently, or B) we find it fascinating and
insightful, AND it answers the question sufficiently. (Note the
common theme there?)
-
Be timed! No! We're kidding! The real world doesn't fit
into neat time-lines, and neither should you. Unless you like
that sort of thing. But you can feel free to tell us how long
each answer took, if you're so inclined.
- Bonus points for answering questions we didn't ask!
Think you're up for it?
Good luck!
