The Global Employer Index is accepting applications for work starting on Monday, April 8 2019:
  • Entry-Level Quality Assurance Developer

  • Senior Front End Developer

Depending on experience, our new employees will be paid Portland area competitive market rate salaries. Look up your current job title and your actual experience at Payscale.com to get an estimate of your pay.

Portland Custom Software Development

The start date is long time from now so do take all the time you require to write your cover letter. In your cover please list the titles and authors of a few of your favorite books.

Our hair isn't pointy; you do not need a Computer Science degree! While the Senior Front End Developer does require Javascript expertise, neither developer job needs experience with any particular framework.

We are writing our back end in Python but will happily hire a Back End coder who has experience in any of Perl, Ruby, Java, PHP, Node.js and the like.

Our Entry-Level QA position would be perfect for recent college graduates as well as technically inclined high school graduates. We will consider part-time work for current high school students.

    Yes, I will tell all my employees that I'm Schizoaffective. I haven't decided whether to tell them at their interviews or when I make an offer, but in any case I _will_ tell them before they accept my offers.

    As for paychecks, there are a few friends and family who I would be completely cool with their having check signing authority.

    How, exactly, do you tell a person that?

    MDC, with one eye focused on the fly on the ceiling, the other eye focused on the applicant's foot: "You realize that you're being hired by a fucking nutcase, don't you?"

    Applicant: "Well, no, I didn't realize that at all. What do you mean by "nutcase"?"

    MDC snatches the fly off of the ceiling, and eats it. "Well, sometimes, I'm not really in contact with reality. So, that will be your job, along with coding. Send me an email every couple of days, telling me what reality is doing."

    A vague sound causes MDC to swivel his head, and focus two ears and one eye on a crack in the wall under an end table.

    Applicant: "I can probably do that. How do you do that with your eyes?"

    MDC: "Do what?"

    Applicant: "Your eyes don't focus together - you're looking at me with one eye, while the other watches something on the wall behind you."

    MDC: "Wrong, I'm not actually looking at you. I'm wondering what breed of dog left that shit you walked in. It looks a little like Chihuahua shit, but those little fuckers don't leave enough shit to get all over your shoe like that. By the way, I'm obsessive about things like that."

    Applicant: "You obsess over people walking in dog shit?"

    MDC: "No, I obsess over details, like the breed of dog that left that dropping. So, when can you start?"

    Applicant: "Give me three seconds, I'm started back down the stairway right now!"
