POSTING # 6:  Nov. 2007

We're a small team (we have more servers than employees) but we do big things. PBwiki is the worlds largest private wiki host and millions depend on us for their business, their classroom, and their personal lives. We handle a lot of data (more pages than Wikipedia!), a TON of web traffic, and we have a lot of fun doing it. We're VC-funded but are making real revenue.

What makes us tick? We love building useful tools for the web. We develop new features on Monday, and deploy it to hundreds of thousands of real users by Friday.

What makes you tick? We want you to be energetic, full of ideas, know what a wiki is, and enjoy working with a small team of brilliant people. You should thoroughly understand web technologies. You know how to prototype things and quickly make them real with XHTML, Javascript/AJAX, CSS, and/or PHP.

In exchange for kicking ass here, you'll get a healthy equity package, flexible hours and vacation, comprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits, a 401(k), gym membership, free gourmet espresso, food, snacks, and the experience of a lifetime.

We're interviewing right now, so please send us your resume today! Please use your cover letter to either provide a URL to a web app you've built ground-up, or describe a project of yours that would impress us.

POSTING # 5:  Software Developer/Programmer Internships (.pdf) - Aug 2007

POSTING # 4:   Subject: Looking for Playtest candidates   -   July 2007

Hi There,

I’m a producer with Shiny Entertainment in Newport Beach, and we’re looking to do some playtests over the next few weeks of the latest title we’re working on, based on the upcoming film from New Line – The Golden Compass. We’ve had some good results working with your students in the past and were hoping some of them might be interested in helping us with this next round of playtesting. This is very much a mass-market title, so we’re looking for a wide variety of gamers, not just the hardcore.

If any of your students are interested, I’d appreciate it if you could have them fill out the attached info sheet. We’re looking to start these tests as soon as possible (next week) but will hopefully be running several sessions.

If you have any questions, feel free to email me.

Thanks,

Mark
