Earlier quoted context omitted.

I appreciate the feedback and hate thinking we wasted anyone's time. Care to elaborate?

1. I had a video technical interview and it went well. 2. The interviewer said I would make a great fit and tried to introduce me to the CTO. 3. I introduced myself to the CTO and received no response. 4. I contacted the interviewer a week later. He apologized and tried to contact the CTO again. 5. I contacted the interviewer another week later. He apologized and tried to contact the CTO again. 6. I contacted the int…

That is very unfortunate. A CTO for a well funded small tech company should have recruiting as a top priority if they are looking to grow. It is really the only metric from which to measure an effective technical executive at that stage. It doesn't reflect well if you can't hire because your messaging is off or you aren't well organized.

Nexon | El Segundo, CA | Technical Lead/Lead Programmer | ONSITE | (VISA possible)

Nexon is creating a new PC game development incubator at its Nexon America office in southern California. A small team (6-10) will conceive and prototype a game concept, eventually growing to a production team of 20-30 developers. (Nexon is currently best known for F2P mobile games, but that is not the focus of this incubator team.)

My name's Kevin Saunders and I'm leading this new initiative at Nexon. (Games I've worked on in the past include Shattered Galaxy (MMORTS), Command & Conquer Generals: Zero Hour, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2, Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer, and Torment: Tides of Numenera.) I am currently seeking candidates to form the core of this new studio within Nexon. This is an opportunity to work in a small team environment and help establish a new product and a team culture, but with the support of an established corporation.

We will begin from an existing engine, such as Unity or Unreal. You will be a/the key technical voice within this team.

Depending upon your interests, you will be either a senior engineer/architect for the prototype (and later the game) or a lead programmer who grows and mentors a small team of engineers. (In this latter case, you'll still be writing code, at least during the prototyping phase.)

5+ years of programming experience, please. Previous professional game development experience NOT required, but please have significant experience with one or more game engines. (I have had some great experiences working with programmers who wanted to transition from other industries, but in these cases game development was at least a hobby.) I'm looking for the right person/people more than I'm looking for a specific skill profile.

Salary: $120+K Comprehensive benefits package, including unlimited vacation time

Casual inquiries are OK. Let us know what you're interests are and what you've been working on. We are a small group within Nexon and so our interview practices are still evolving, but coding tests are not part of our process.

If you may be interested, please contact Aaron Morrison (amorrison@nexon.net). Thanks!

BOSTON, MA | ONSITE W/ REMOTE FLEXIBILITY

Java Developer w/ .NET Experience

We are the new Boston Globe Media and we are growing -- fast. With a foundation in leading-edge technology and data-driven product development, we are rapidly building a team that is as obsessed as we are with innovation and change. The decision to join this team is thus the choice to be at the start of something bigger, something scarier, than the work any of us has done before. But that is how everything great begins.

The Core Team within our Media Lab is looking for an engineer to help bring us to the next level. We find fulfillment through our code, solving tough technical challenges and creating next generation products that are at the center of all of The Globe’s media publications. If this interests you then please apply.

Here is what we’re offering:

Backend: We use Java, Jersey, Groovy, Postgres and Jenkins for all newer applications that drive our circulation and other core products. Some of our core products are written in .Net Web Forms and SQL. You’ll play a big part in migrating these to Java. Our publications are written in PHP - Wordpress and Methode (Java). Frontend: Our circulation and payment applications are web applications written in Javascript, JQuery and CSS. We use Angular, JQuery, React and REST services. The Team: We value our customers and each other above all. The impact we create is immediate and seen across the company. We most care about coming together and doing great work to evolutionize this iconic brand

Here’s what you’ll bring to the table:

Strong technical skills: Specifically in modern Java and .Net web environments. We aren’t overly concerned with the other accompanying technologies. If you’re interested in learning we are interested in teaching them to you. A passion for your craft: Caring deeply about the quality of your code. Our culture is defined by the impact we create through our work. If this is you too, let's talk! A desire to own something big.

8 weeks with no communications from us is wrong. Will you email me so I can go see what happened? kurt at compose.io

I must correct myself here. @mrkurt apologies for misleading information. What I meant was I haven't heard about the next steps or about a rejection. However, I was notified that my submission is in queue and to expect a decision soon. I am 100% in support for the hiring procedures followed by Compose :). What was disappointing was, overall the timeline has been 8+ weeks since submission of coding exercise and a deci…

Yeah 8 weeks is terrible, and I'm pretty sure it means something broke. I'm happy to look it up (incidentally, people are very hesitant to email us and ask what's up because they're worried about seeming pushy. They shouldn't be, if a company thinks you're pushy for respecting your time you shouldn't work there).
