Well, not just me, but Ray, Richard, and a host of others.

The company I work for, Trading Technologies (I refuse to link to the exceptionally ugly homepage, but google and you shall find), is looking for a wonderful, super smart, cool tester guy (or gal) to join my team.

This isn’t just any sort of tester position though.  This is a quite unique position which is why, I think, we are having a hard time filling it.

Our team is going through some growth (as well as the rest of the company), and we realize that we need to get some real QA going on our projects.  Thing is, we don’t have any clue what that means.  We know what testing is, and we test our code, but I’m not a tester and Ray isn’t a tester and Richard isn’t a tester or anybody else for that matter.  So why should we try to create some sort of ultimate regression test-o-meter with integration carb barrels and unit test wood paneling when we know we would get it wrong?  So we are looking for somebody to come in and tell us what we need to do and set it all up.  This is really a write your own sort of position here folks.  We know what we need somebody to do, and you tester folks know how to do it, so why don’t you come to TT and do it for my team?

Please?

Okay.  Fine.

If my cutesy sort of pitch didn’t convince you, maybe you should look at the real job req here at our site and here is the standard “Why TT rules so much” stuff:

• Free Breakfast ever day (bagels, cereal, coffee)
• Free dinner if you work past 6:30 (like I am now!)
• Free Soda, coffee (we also have plenty of espresso machines so make yourself some lattes!)
