A word from the VP of Engineering

Posted by: emptyspaceads on: March 3, 2010

As you may have heard, emptyspaceads is looking for a Software Developer. I want to share some thoughts on the sort of person we are looking for, and how you can maximize your chances of working for this awesome company. You can read the official job description on this blog. I will give you the skinny on what we are REALLY looking for in our next Software Engineer hire:

  • Raw intelligence. You must be smart, smart, smart. Be prepared for mind-bending coding problems.
  • Coding skills. Make sure your code is such high quality that it compiles!
  • Ability to roll up your sleeves and “just take care of business”. Our best hires (including two great interns) have never hesitated to learn a new language. We’re looking for someone who does not box himself or herself into a narrow role.
  • Ability to think “360 degrees” about a problem. We want someone who can think of 5 ways to solve a problem, and if those 5 ways don’t work, he or she will think of the 6th.

So are you up to the challenge? Read the job description and apply!
