I worked somewhere that utilized barracuda, was actually a pretty nice piece of software, nice to see the outreach of job opportunities at a site like this. If only these jobs were a bit closer to home, I would def consider applying
Odd they would advertise Principal positions on TL. Not knocking TL but the typical age here is far from the experience typically required of a Principal, but you never know, I am sure there are people as old as Scoots lurking here somewhere.
I remember this from high school. Always tried to break this with some weird port forwarding that I found out from internet to watch youtube or get into TL,etc...It was unbreakable, but alright. If you graduate from Computer Science Major, can you work in this kind of place? I have no idea what my job is going to be when I graduate from..
Wow, this is a wonderful PR move from Barracuda. Even if they don't hire anyone from TL, this sends the message that not only do they see TeamLiquid as a valuable entity to sponsor, but also one with a worthwhile community.
How can you expect anyone to take you seriously when you present yourself as a "Rockstar IT company - Searching for rockstar coders?"
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.
Wouldn't expect a developper to act too rockstarish : drugs and C++ don't mix too well and destroying equipment is not exactly a plus (although sometimes the equipment deserved it); In my experience there is not a direct link between maturity and code quality.
Concerning outsourcing, there may be export issues on some of the products (not rare for IT security).
Not really into development anymore and not my continent, but I'll keep in mind the products as a potential client

I'm sure a top 10 market player would like to take lessons from random internet people.

....really? Do you mean SQL?
Actually Sequel ( = Structured English Query Language) was its original name before SQL, into which it was changed. I guess someone might still use Sequel, if they learned it way back then.

Graduating this year but no entry positions from the looks of it.
I'm in the same situation as you. Graduating this year and looking for entry-level positions. I talked to one of their representatives on their website and she just told me to forward my information (resume, etc.) to their email address and if they have something that works they will contact you.

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!
the other day i was hanging out with my brother and he was wearing a Barracuda Networks hat. Turns out down in the Bay Area, Barracuda Networks just had a big charity bike ride (my brother manages a bike shop) and my brother did it. Some of his customers work for Barracuda Networks now. Thought it was a nice coincidence with them just sponsoring TL right now. He said from what he heard they are a great company. GL to those who apply for the positions.
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.

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.
God damn, I gotta learn more about web development. 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...

Expensive places to live, I much prefer Texas- decent priced houses and nice neighborhoods. (though you do miss out on any city fun there can be had in other places )
