Minor Humor In the Wild
I was indulging in a much-loved way of wasting time on the internet- browsing the TechCrunch reader comments. Something caught my eye. No, not the 35 All-Time BEST 404 Error Not Found article! I've already clicked on that more times than I'd care to admit.
It was an entry in the right sidebar list of intriguing employment opportunities. What a dream job!
Mindspark develops and operates a portfolio of world-class virtual world and social games. We are looking for a standout Director of Technology, Virtual Worlds.
This seemed rather daunting, though.
Responsibilities:
- Develop technology strategy. Run live operations for launched products.
- Manage and mentor programmers and engineers on multiple products.
- Design and maintain technical platforms. Partner with teams across the organization.
Requirements:
- 10+ years game development experience building massively scalable, stable, secure architectures. Thrive in a fast-paced iterative environment.
- Great communication and leadership skills. Strong quantitative skills.
Alright then. This position is only suitable for a highly experienced professional. What are the educational and prior employment requirements? Extensive, no doubt.
No, the only specific requirements were "Entry Level Computer Science, Bachelor's Degree preferred". I'm so envious. I wish I had studied computer science.
