You are hiring engineers, yet give them prebuilt alienware systems for their work?
Last i checked alienware only offered locked CPU's in sealed cases etc and overcharged by like 200%
There's always someone to try and find a negative in something positive on this forum, just makes me lol. Have you ever worked as a programmer? You don't need an i7 2600K OC'ed to 4.6ghz to write code sir. I think the reason they mentioned the fact that they are Alienware computers is so you can play games during your breaks/free time!?
I would love to apply for the Front-End Developer position, I'm a graduate of 2 years from university here in the UK, but I have absolutely no way of getting myself over to the US and affording a place to live. ^^

Same here unfortunately. I've looked into Twitch and other gaming companies, websites, publications in the past and it seems that the jobs that would better suit me are marketing focused, testing, HR or something the like since I have a BS in marketing and general management. While I have done a decent amount of html, css, database work, it's just not on the same level as the guys they are looking for. Good luck to all those who apply. The job market is pretty intense at the moment so hope it all goes well.

My skills and progression into my degree (CS) are not up to those standards quite yet; good luck to whoever gets those jobs! Looks like I need to get comfortable with Linux.

If this had come up a couple years ago I would of had a pretty good shot. I got laid off from my software engineering job and ended up taking something more support oriented. I've pretty much forgotten how to do anything beyond scripting and small asp programs at this point.

Damnit! I saw engineer and thought the cool locomotive kind, not the programming kind.

Oddly enough, I find that the exact same situation applies to any kind of programming related work that I do. I leave html for a couple weeks working on some other project, and I forget and have to relearn so much of the syntax. Very interesting how much you need to keep working with these subjects so that they can be fresh in your mind. Otherwise it just gets pushed out when it's not needed.

"Ability to thrive in an entrepreneurial environment"
To me that just comes across as "be prepared to work a 100 hour week".
At least, every job I've had that was described as an "entrepreneurial environment" ended up being "work is now your life, forget about the life you once had"
Other than that the jobs sounds pretty sweet.

I'm almost an engineer...but i live in the wrong country...

Last i checked alienware only offered locked CPU's in sealed cases etc and overcharged by like 200% Every engineering firm I've ever worked at gave us pre-built computers too. IT has to maintain consistency in all of them and make sure they work exactly as intended -- they aren't our personal computers to play games on.
Sounds like a waste of money to use Alienwares over Dells, but the fact that they're pre-built isn't really weird at all.

whatever design tools you desire, as many monitors as you can fit on your desk. /sigh, if only I graduate this year. If you guys every have intern openings in the summer I'd be there in a second.

Daaaamn, Too bad i live on Poland :[
|
I applied!!
Wish me luck guys ^^
|
Come at me when you need a Restaurant Manager :D
|
Damn, wish I would graduate earlier...
|
I'm a year and a half away from graduation but I would totally jump on this opportunity if I had the chance. GL all applicants!
|
For everyone who's saying they wished they could graduate earlier... there's an internship position available that looks AWESOME, too bad I'm only a second-year engg student and I don't meet the requirements =/ Give me two more years and I would kill someone for this job.
