Need a full-time, C programmer with a C.S. degree.
  • New England area. Local preferred, but relocation possible.
  • Position is entry-level, (0-3 years professional experience), but advancement can be extremely quick.
  • This is a Fortune 500 company with phenomenal growth and amazing benefits, (pension plan, 401k with matching, stock purchase plan, annual cash and stock bonus) - Yes, companies like this do exist and they are hiring!

Now for the catch...
  • You need to be an honest-to-goodness C wizard. Doing something like hacking the Linux kernel as a hobby while getting your degree will make me love you.
  • This is a legacy platform that has been running 20+ years. It runs very well and new features and capabilities are being added all the time. It will never be ported to Java, Python, .NET, PHP, or C#. It has been - and always will be - C. Can you see yourself programming C for 20+ years? Lots of people can't – they're terrified of skill obsolescence. I completely understand that, but then this opportunity isn't for you.
  • You need to be a self-learner with clever problem solving skills. If you are, you know it.

If you think this might be a good fit, you can reach me at dalekplunger at gmail dot com

And that company would be...?

Send me an e-mail and I'd be happy to spill the beans.

I am the hiring manager, but I'm trying not to step too heavily on the toes of our recruitment office. I've been around long enough to know the kind of talent that dwells here, however, so I can't resist :)

I'm all of those but still a student. I suppose you're not taking internship applications?

Send me an e-mail. Let's talk.
