Swift Software - Frederick, MD (Near DC) - Software Engineers Are you tired of commuting to DC or Northern Virginia? Swift Software is a growing product-centere

Swift Software - Frederick, MD (Near DC) - Software Engineers Are you tired of commuting to DC or Northern Virginia? Swift Software is a growing product-centered technology company seeking talented developers to join our product team in Frederick, MD. Our flagship product is JobTraQ, a task management and workflow system that offers vastly more flexibility and power than any other product in our market segment, and is significantly less expensive and easier to configure than big "BPM" suites like MetaStorm and Lombardi. These advantages are allowing us to disrupt both markets. You will create new features in JobTraQ and enhance existing functionality. You’ll help us build advanced visual design and administration tools, augment the product's business intelligence capabilities, improve performance and scalability, and use customer feedback to enhance all parts of the system. Our team has an enjoyable and collaborative culture in a creative environment. We interact positively and openly and emphasize learning and professional development. These attributes have enabled us to produce an industry-leading product with a globally recognizable and satisfied client base. Our environment is relaxed and fun, we play everything from Total Annihilation to Alien Swarm at our game nights, and we equip everyone with new quad-core Thinkpads with SSDs and dual monitors. Our policies and benefits are family-friendly, with generous vacation time, good health insurance options, and flexible work schedules. For more information about this position, see the link below. If you are interested, please email your resume to resumes@swiftsoftware.com. http://www.jobtraq.com/jobs/se227-software-engineer-product-development.html http://www.jobtraq.com/jobs/se227-software-engineer-product-...

> Total Annihilation Where do you stand on Supreme Commander (and Forged Alliance) vs Supreme Commander 2? Everything hangs on your response.

  A couple of us played Supreme Commander and liked it, but we all went back to TA for some reason. Read the bad reviews of SC2 and never tried it.

    Most of the time I find people who miss TA miss nuclear arms races. That glorious 10 minutes of screen shaking in the late game when hundreds of nuclear missiles fly back and forth and we get to see who built enough strategic defence. (None of which is relevant to your job posting. Sorry.)
    - joshyeager 13y ago
      Our games usually devolve once we hit the unit limit, since we're too lazy to find that 5000-unit patch from the old days. From that point, we go for nukes, berthas and targeting facilities, or just massive air waves. We really should try out SupCom with more than a couple of people. My guess is that it would be a great fit for the types of players we have. (-:

        Yes, definitely. It's the truest successor to TA, and in the same spirit. It retains the flux economic model, upgrade-by-building, powerful UI features (building group templates are awesome) and a plethora of options on how to optimise your work. Plus the whole vast-armies-of-destiny thing. I have very much enjoy games where it devolved down to 16 megaunits vs 150 strategic bombers ...
