This thread will snowball into an utter dump once more recruiters get a whiff it. And posts like yours set up the stage just for that.

Being offered a job through one of Ovid's previous Who's Hiring posts, I would say it did not seem to me like going through your normal agency routine. So, +1 from me aswell.

BTW, he wrote this too: http://ofps.oreilly.com/titles/9781118013847/ Know any other recruiters that do that ? :)

Damballa - Atlanta, GA, USA (local preferred, but remote OK)

Damballa is looking for top-notch developers and scientists to join our Research and Development Team. You would be part of the team responsible for masterminding the core technologies of Damballa's products – working on advanced pattern detection algorithms, massive data collection and analysis solutions, prototyping new detection systems, and advancing large-scale applications that deliver actionable threat intelligence.

A typical day might involve writing a Hadoop job in Clojure using Cascalog or using Ruby to drive automated data processing tasks to deliver new data to our customers. You will be involved with experimentation, development and deployment, so a passion for understanding our complete technology stack is necessary.

No prior security experience is necessary, just an interest in the field. Damballa specializes in analysis of network traffic, so a familiarity with DNS, HTTP and other forms of network communications technologies is beneficial.

A couple of us played Supreme Commander and liked it, but we all went back to TA for some reason. Read the bad reviews of SC2 and never tried it.

Most of the time I find people who miss TA miss nuclear arms races. That glorious 10 minutes of screen shaking in the late game when hundreds of nuclear missiles fly back and forth and we get to see who built enough strategic defence. (None of which is relevant to your job posting. Sorry.)

Our games usually devolve once we hit the unit limit, since we're too lazy to find that 5000-unit patch from the old days. From that point, we go for nukes, berthas and targeting facilities, or just massive air waves.

We really should try out SupCom with more than a couple of people. My guess is that it would be a great fit for the types of players we have. (-:

Yes, definitely. It's the truest successor to TA, and in the same spirit. It retains the flux economic model, upgrade-by-building, powerful UI features (building group templates are awesome) and a plethora of options on how to optimise your work.

Plus the whole vast-armies-of-destiny thing. I have very much enjoy games where it devolved down to 16 megaunits vs 150 strategic bombers ...

Guys, please be aware that this is indeed for Booking.com. This company treats its developers like dogs.

Can the moderator please stop recruiters from posting on this forum.

A bunch of "single post" accounts all designed to attack one company? Add in someone impersonating brian d foy, a well known Perl dev (and you use almost exactly the same wording) and it really looks like you're a disgruntled ex-employee who's out to hurt this company.
