This is not how you attract the most skilled individuals - This is how you attract immature "bro's" which are, at best, mediocre developers. Besides, if all you want is a coder, move your company to India. What a terrible, laughable promotion. Thanks for throwing money at esports though. In my line of work (game development) we generally refer to our best and brightest software engineers as "rockstars" usually referring to their exceptional skill, rarity, our willingness as a team to put up with sometimes odd quirks due to the aforementioned skill. As of late I've heard the term used towards any discipline. "We really could use another rockstar artist" or "________ is such a rockstar designer, if we lost him we'd be so screwed". Might just be a game development thing but I'd be inclined to think it's a general tech company thing. It has very little to do with actual rockstars in the musical sense. All that said, I hear that term used by non-technicals to describe technical people more than anything else. I don't hear technicals refer to other technicals as "rockstars" all that often. More on topic, good luck Barracuda in finding some great engineers and thanks to reaching out to TL with this info! | ||

My name is Tyler and I lead Barracuda Networks recruitment team. There are a couple questions that have come up and thought I would provide some clarity. First, thanks for taking the time to look into our organization...as I am sure you can tell we are not your typical network security company. That said, we like talent top talent that likes to work hard and play hard. We value innovation and believe that to drive innovation you have to take some risks hence why we partnered with TeamLiquid. If you have a skill set that we are interested in we are more than happy to provide relocation! Additionally, we look for critical thinking and logical problem solving over a plush resume...I don't care if you went to MIT (if you did, great!) we want smartest people in the industry and wherever they come from doesn't really matter. If you are interested get in touch with me! tbeim@barracuda.com 408.342.6401 | ||

It's actually very common in the software industry to refer to skill level with cool titles such as rockstar, jedi, ninja or guru. At least between developers. Good luck to Barracuda in finding great people on TL. I would have gladly apply if I was a network programming specialist | ||

I started my new job today running a webshop for a well known webshop, which happens to sell barracuda products. It took me about 2 minutes to realise where i heard that name before, but then it hit me. Im proud to be representing your products. | ||

Luckily I've still got enough time till im graduating. I really hope you're still looking for .NET developers then, because that's pretty much my zone. :D You don't happen to offer internships, do you? Edit: Oh and at that "rockstar" draws immature people: Things like that draw creative, out-of-the-box-thinking people that love to play with code and enjoy coding like nothing else, At least it worked for me. I would be totally psyched to be able to apply... | ||
