Earlier quoted context omitted.

That's fair, and we deserve the criticism since we're still kinda stealth, in the sense that we're not publicly talking about what we're doing. In person we've always been happy to give a full demo and share everything we know about our company. We've shown our product to a lot of people and nobody has left disappointed (and many told me they expected to be).

How can anyone be expected to be excited about your stealthy product then? Why bother posting? Why not just email people who look good on the "Who's looking for work" thread?

The list of what they are NOT into does imply somewhat that they're doing real engineering. Unfortunately, these days, that is rare, so that makes them interesting.

London, UK -- graduate or junior developer -- full time My team writes middleware (i.e. software that interfaces with OEMs' software and with the GUI team's software) for set-top boxes. We use a bit of C, a bit of C++, a bit of shell, a bit of Python. We have a great team and you will learn a lot. As your first task we'll probably get you to do some bug-fixes and feature work on Polipo (an open source HTTP proxy) and…

P.S. The polipo task is a representative example of the work you'd be doing after you had passed the interview and been hired -- not part of the interview process! :-)

Basically the customer declares what their environment looks like, and we design a solution that effectively (and efficiently) performs their offsite backup to us. So for instance a customer might arrive with a colle…
