Your UI opening requires a CS degree? http://jobs.centraldesktop.com/details?o=ui_designer

I'm not related to the parent poster, but I'm happy to see that. There's some good work done in HCI, and I'm glad to see appreciation for it.

I'm offended. Limiting the job to a CS major is the equivalent of limiting it to a design major. UI/UX specialists require skills/knowledge in BOTH design and computer concepts. You aren't going to find someone who is 100% qualified (according to their degree(s) alone) unless they have a BOTH degree in design AND CS, so why discriminate against one or the other?

What about if I am from the Philippines? :-/

And looking for a job? What's your profile?

I am from Finland originally, but working in Manila right now. We don't exactly have openings right now, but never know what we might need in the near future.

I am in Cebu. IT is also good here. I have been doing PHP (LAMP) for almost 3 years now. Right now, I am passively looking for a job since I am currently employed. If I like the job opportunity, then I'll leave the big corporate environment in a blink ;)

We're hiring a Rails Dev in Portland, OR.

We do 1000 req/minute. We have tables with 100+mil rows. 30" monitors, MBPs, and the office is on the 5th floor looking out at 7 (of 9) bridges, the river and downtown. There's a bar 1/2 a block away with 14 taps.

Agile, RSpec, Pairing, the works.

Our CEO is Ward Cunningham (the Ward in TDD by Example, inventor of the wiki and terms like "Stories").

It's pretty freaking awesome.

Email github username + resume to jon.farr -at- aboutus (dot) org

Just for the record, if I were looking for a job, and you used hero (or ninja, or rockstar) in the title, I wouldn't take you guys seriously. This seems to be a common sentiment.

Hence the footnote. It's a little in-joke that it seems you didn't find funny. I encourage anyone who's turned off by that part of the job post to please apply anyways. My above post was made as an individual, not as a representative of the company, and cannot be taken as a representative sample of Disqus's mean level of seriousness.

It's true -- all serious business here. Smiles are to be left at the door.

I love the people and the product. Rails, C++, desktop, client/server. Interactive data visualization - analysis that's more fun than should be allowed. :)
