Worldwide Telecommute / REMOTE Automattic is currently hiring for the following positions: - Account Engineer - http://automattic.com/work-with-us/account-engineer/ - Code Wrangler - http://automattic.com/work-with-us/code-wrangler/ - Community Handyman - http://automattic.com/work-with-us/community-handyman/ - Designer - http://automattic.com/jobs/designer/ - Growth Engineer - http://automattic.com/work-with-us/grow…

Is there any particular reason you have positions with "engineer" in title that have nothing to do with even the most watered-down meaning of engineering? I'm looking at Happiness Engineer in particular. I realize tech support isn't the most glamorous of titles, but it's at least somewhat descriptive. Similarly, Account Engineer is a client-facing sales position with no technical component.

Western suburbs of Chicago (Naperville area). No H1B, no remote. We are looking for junior to mid-level person with either a Java background looking to move to C# or a C# background. If coming from a C# background, must be open to open source libraries like Spring.NET. It's a small team and you will work with public-facing web applications in the financial field as well as back-office application for internal stuff.…

I am not interested in this particular job but why would you want to use Spring.NET? Is it because you are migrating from a Java application using Spring.NET? Are there any other reasons? If you are moving to C#, I would definitely recommend another framework which is more suited to leverage C#/.NET. The reason I am suggesting is that because it is very difficult to hire good C#/.NET developers these days and the pro…

When this application was started around 2008 or so we had a number of frameworks to choose from. At the time we chose spring.net. Looking back on it, that was a good choice considering most of our alternatives at the time (and since) have come and gone. Particularly Microsoft technologies that seem to come and go all the time. We're pretty happy that we chose a reliable, stable and well-maintained library such as spring.net.

I am curious what alternative you'd recommend, particularly if it's something that is production ready and has a certain future.

We're well aware of how hard it is to hire good C# developers. But in my opinion, a good C# developer isn't going to be put off by the choice of Spring.NET.

San Francisco, CA. Full time. http://www.unknownworlds.com/jobs

Looking for talented engineers to work on Natural Selection 2. Would consider remote work for the right candidate.

The tech is some of the best I've seen in the 11 odd years I've worked in the games industry. Team is small (8 in the office, few more remote) and most excellent. We are a creatively independent, well funded, rather ambitious, anti-crunch, post-hierarchy, release often, 'real' games company.

Email us here: jobs@unknownworlds.com or drop me a line directly (dushan@unknownworlds.com) - I'm one of the core engineers.
