> a BSc. or MSc. degree in Computer Science / Software engineering is required

How stringent are you on this requirement if someone meets the rest of the criteria (including the 10+ years of experience requirement)?


We love autodidacts and passionate people! Apply away!


Yet, in bold, it's stated as required. *rolls eyes*


Fortune favors the bold.


I'm working on an app to help me find a job: http://i.imgur.com/sam9Cgt.png

I'm using it right now to search through a year's worth of HN "Who's hiring" threads and starring places that I want to work at / hiding those that match criteria that I don't want.

Pretty soon I'll be adding the "application management" piece to it so that I can start to track my applications, correspondences, phone screens, etc.

Finding a job can be difficult and managing the application / search process has always been a pain point for me.

I'm working on a personal app to help me find a job and manage the application process for it.

I've scraped and indexed all of the Hacker News "Who is hiring" threads since January 2013 and am putting support in for Github Jobs and Careers 2.0 to get a pretty decent list of companies I may want to work for.

The next piece is to add a tracking system to help me manage phone screens, followups, note taking, etc.

I've been learning about machine learning and slowly training it to filter out jobs at places that I wouldn't like.

Also if you're hiring, I'd love to chat: sfdev14@gmail.com.


Do you plan on making it public at some point ?

Looks like a really good idea.


I do! My goal is to open source it when my job hunt is finished or maybe host it somewhere (already has registration and login).
