Are you sure this isn't real?

• hayksaakian 14y ago
  On second thought it could be real, but the notion of a startup needing a VP of engineering with 5 years of rails 3 experience seems absurd given how long rails 3 has been in existence. edit: there are several articles about this company since 2011, so I guess it is real... edit2: it's hard to take seriously with this line from the ad: "Yes, we realize that the best technology leaders are highly sought after. So why should you join us over that sexy social - local - mobile - sharing start-up?"

    It's definitely real. I've seen it long before today.

    We specifically ask for, "5+ years of experience building and managing strong engineering organizations," not "5+ years of rails 3..." lol re: "edit2" - we're basically trying to convey that we're solving a real and serious problem (helping retailers compete with amazon). it's actually resonated with potential candidates since smart and motivated engineering leaders don't want to just be part of "the next groupon..."

      Thanks for the response. You know your metrics better than I do -- the ad just stood out to me because the tone conflicted with the message.
