I’ll interrupt my exciting rundown of my reading habits to let people know that CNET Networks is hiring. Personally, I wanted to call attention to the one of the senior software engineer positions. If you read CNET News.com and love delivering tech news first — and tech news in different ways, this is a great place to show your stuff. Everything from RSS to blogs to personalized aggregation to editorial aggregation to individual alerts to what readers like to mobile to whatever comes next. There is lots to do, and a growing company to do it in.
The position isn’t limited, necessarily, to News.com, though that’s a focus. Also, there are plenty of other positions available, and not just for engineers. And not just in San Francisco, although that’s the majority of them, I think.
Note: I’m selfishly interested in getting great people, but not financially interested. Unlike the dot-boom days, where a single referral earned me a one-in-thirteen shot at a Porsche Boxster (didn’t win), now it’s a bit more, well, realistic. Regarding the Boxster…ahhh… Snap.com, where are you now? Oh yeah, Bill Gross salvaged the domain from the scrap heap and is running a transparent search engine. Best of luck with that.
