These employment positions are posted, re-posted, and continue to churn. Maybe management posts fake positions to keep employees on edge. Maybe the pay sucks. Maybe management sucks.
Maybe human resources posts ridiculous job requirements to document their "attempt" to hire citizens, and gosh-oh-shucks only the pre-selected (cheaper) non-American visa worker has every imaginary skill.

Keymark - C++ Developer
Experienced C++ Developer - Boulder
Posted by: "gcoleman7882" gcoleman@keymark.com
Wanted: C++ Software Developer with Mud Blasting Experience
A medium-sized Boulder software company poised on the brink of transforming an industry needs to similarly transform its software. We need to incrementally refactor 30+ years of legacy code, while adding vast amounts of new functionality and UI clients in an aggressive timeframe.
We considered several strategies to accomplish our goals. We could implement new features driven solely by deadlines, and ignore the impact to the existing codebase. We could tune out the time pressures and just concentrate on implementing refactored and elegant solutions, marketing be damned.
But after much soul-searching, our choice is clear – we must strike a balance between meeting short-term market demands, and incrementally reducing our Big Ball of Mud (http://www.laputan.org/pub/foote/mud.pdf) through wise case-by-case refactoring for long-term benefits. Our strategy is the most demanding option and may be painful, but is also the most responsible and most satisfying for our future.
We need developers who can:
- Produce new functionality according to client requirements and deadlines
- Reduce our Big Ball of Mud in the process
- Demonstrate strong competency in C++, C#/.NET, WPF, and object-oriented concepts
- Apply a background in math, engineering, geometry, or the construction industry
- Bring a `can-do' attitude to technical problems
- Solve ill-defined problems large and small
- Learn and grow technically and professionally
- Respect peers and build professional relationships with like-minded, intelligent, hard-working, focused individuals
- Debate and compromise in a productive, cooperative manner
- Exhibit a positive sense of humor and the ability to laugh at your own mistakes
Check out http://www.laputan.org/pub/foote/mud.pdf at the Department of Computer Science at the University of Illinois to get a glimpse of our thinking and approach.
To apply, send us a cover letter and your resume, along with your views on the Big Ball of Mud as discussed at the above-referenced site. Relate your experience with the ideas discussed therein, and tell us why you've got what it takes to be a Mud Blaster.

Oracle - Senior HR Business Partner
Senior HR Business Partner: Hardware Support Division
About the Company:
More than three decades ago Larry Ellison saw an opportunity other companies missed: a description of a working prototype for a relational database. No company had committed to commercializing the technology, but Ellison and co-founders Bob Miner and Ed Oates realized the tremendous business potential of the relational database model—but they may not have realized that the company they formed would change the face of business computing forever.
Throughout its history Oracle has proved it can build for the future on the foundation of its innovations and, its intimate knowledge of customer challenges and successes analyzed by the best technical and business minds in the world. The company has leveraged its immense size and strength to serve its customers, and to implement key technology and business decisions that upend conventional wisdom and take its products and services in new directions.
Today Oracle is the gold standard for database technology and applications in enterprises throughout the world—the company is the world's leading supplier of information management software and the world's second largest independent software company. The acquisition of Sun gives Oracle a leadership role in the hardware arena as well.
Now more than ever before Oracle technology can be found in nearly every industry, and in the data centers of 100 of the Fortune Global 100 companies. Oracle is the first software company to develop and deploy 100 percent internet-enabled enterprise software across its entire product line: database, business applications, application development, and decision support tools.
Innovation is the engine of Oracle's success. Oracle was one of the first companies to make its business applications available through the internet—an idea that is now pervasive. Oracle has introduced new Oracle Fusion Middleware products and functionality that reflect the company's goal to connect all levels of enterprise technology, ensuring customers access to the knowledge they need to respond to market conditions with speed and agility.
Before the acquisition of Sun was final, Oracle and Sun introduced the Sun Oracle Database Machine, the world's fastest machine for any type of database workload. Today, Sun servers and storage, Oracle Real Application Clusters, Oracle Applications, Oracle Grid Computing, support for enterprise Linux, and Oracle Fusion, all fuel a commitment to innovation and results that has defined Oracle for thirty years.
What does Oracle have in store for tomorrow? Our goal is to become #1 in middleware and #1 in applications, just as we have in database.
