Goojers with job opportunities

Discover Bank seems to always be hiring IT people. Not sure what you're looking for but a quick search found this listing for Sr Manager Information Security it says Riverwoods, but pretty much any position can be remote nowadays with Discover, and we also have a center in Phoenix as well. If you're interested in any of the postings let me know, and I can send you a referral.

The company I work for, MaxMind is hiring again. All positions are remote (previously that was optional, but we've ditched our office completely now). We are hiring anywhere in Canada, and in CA, FL, LA, MN, NV, NY State (excluding New York City and Yonkers), NC, OR, PA, TX, WA in the United States.

The US restrictions are based on where you work, not where you live, and in the past we've had folks who were near a border commute to some sort of office setup in a state we hire in. I don't think we guarantee that though.

Partnerships Manager - no beginning salary listed unfortunately

Sales Development Representative - salary range starts at $60,000 USD

Senior Software Engineer - salary range starts at $135k USD or $165k CAD

Senior Web Developer/Engineer - salary range starts at $140k USD or $172k

Strategic Controller - salary range starts at $135k (USD I assume)

As always I'm happy to answer any questions I can about working at MaxMind. There are plenty of things I like about working here that could also be true at other companies, but one rare and maybe even unique aspect is the purpose of the company, which is to generate money for charitable purposes. More than 60% of profits are donated to charities. We stopped listing the charities publicly, but the focus tends to be split between animal rights and reproductive health and rights. (Concern over attacks related to the latter was the cause of no longer listing specifics).

For anyone who is looking. A job finally posted for my team. G-ville is a bastion of socially just sanity with wonderful people. Can't say enough about where I work, too. The culture and everybody there are amazing. It would need to be local, but 100% remote within 6 months as long as you're somewhere in Florida (UF/UF Health is a state institution which comes with that rule). You'd be working with several level 3's including me on a team which does not hire often because, well, folks are happy. I'm also happy to answer questions.

Title: UNIX Systems Admin L2 | Systems Software Support
Location: Gainesville, FL
Schedule: Full-Time

(These are hourly rates, but it's a FT salaried position. They are exceedingly fair about assessing experience and paying fairly for this area.)
Minimum Pay Rate - Hourly: $35.01
Midpoint Pay Rate - Hourly: $46.26

Oh, hey! We're looking for someone on my IT team (offices in SF and SLC/Sandy, but remote OK), as a Tier 2 or 3 position, specializing in Jamf admin, preferably with Linux server admin experience.

https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/3...

Pay rate varies based on location, and I don't really know how our Jobvite setup works, but it seems to check out with what I expect based on Glassdoor salary results for "Jamf administrator" by region (highish 5 figures to lowish 6 figures).

Should we send our resumes to you? How do we contact you?

Does the expected quality of work vary by location too?

I don't have any say on this, but I'm with you. If it means anything, pay rates are based on the market and CoL in suburban Utah, and mostly scale upward based on higher rates for both of those elsewhere.

Referral link is probably the fastest way to get into the system as a referral, but if anyone wants to start off with an informational/cultural interview, PM me here, you can get me at EHanson at Castlight Health.

I applied using that link and mentioned your name at the end of the application. (How did you hear about this position?)
I PMed you to set up a time to talk whenever you are available. Thanks!

For Canadians, the federal government is currently recruiting Patent Examiners in the Electrical Engineering division.

As a patent examiner myself (in a different division), if you have any questions, hit me up.

What's the weirdest patent you ever had to examine?

There is an oil they used to use on some Lays chips, until they discovered that eating too many of them resulted in, well, oiling up your intestinal system, so they decided to (try to) repackage it for use in preparing people for colonoscopies.

It's sorta like how Viagra was discovered. It was originally being tested for lowering blood pressure. It did. Except for one...specific...spot.

Sometimes I double my cialis dosage and call it "hammertime."

Not me, but a friend is looking for a programmer.

Here are the job details:

I am looking for a programmer who can modify/fix the current scoring software for the National and Regionals (excel based) or come up with a different one which will work. We've had a program, but it tends to be buggy and needs some help. I am really looking for someone with Barn Hunt experience, even better someone who has been to the National and to Regionals (I know, that's a big ask). There are some scoring differences between Regionals and the National but those should be fairly easy to accommodate.

Anyone want in on a rebuild of a major defense contractor in aerospace? We have like 400 positions open across the country in all kinds of areas.

Seems like we are about to do a nice big upswing in getting things running correctly.

Are they doing anything remote?

Want to work on self-driving vehicles? My company is hiring in lots of different areas as we ramp up to MVP in 2023.

Under our 'Mission first' policy, for most roles you should live near one of our offices but you can choose how often you go to the office to get the job done (between 0-5 days a week). Full remote from anywhere in the USA may also be possible for senior roles, depending on your area and specialty.

Happy to answer any questions, but I'll be able to provide the most insight for roles in software.

Man it would be funny if I moved to the other Louisville, in Colorado.

Looks like I'm at least 6 hours from the closest office.

Some stuff. Position dependent. Even though I have labwork, I am only expected onsite 2 days a week unless needed in the lab.

For my Canadian peeps.

The Canadian Intellectual Property Office is hiring Examiners in Trademarks and Industrial Design. They are looking to hire 30 people for positions starting in Winter 2023.

The closing date is: 12 October 2022 - 23:59, Pacific Time

Title: UNIX Systems Admin L2 | Systems Software Support
Location: WFH - Remote available
Schedule: Full-Time

(These are hourly rates, but it's a FT salaried position. They are exceedingly fair about assessing experience and paying fairly for this area.)
Minimum Pay Rate - Hourly: $35.71
Midpoint Pay Rate - Hourly: $49.17

We are still looking for a candidate for this position, and are willing to consider full-time WFH and even remote for a qualified candidate. If HR pushes back on that at all get them to ask the hiring manager (though they should know!). Pay rates have been bumped up a bit. Don't worry too much about AIX experience if you have a solid Linux background, though I'll be encouraging you to learn on our test cluster!

Job ID is 93861 on https://shands.careers.ufhealth.org/

We're also looking for a L3 DBA. Job ID 93862. Same deal with WFH and even remote. We're seeing two big retirements from that team in January. Had a candidate accept earlier this month and back out due to personal reasons, which was a big bummer.

Minimum Pay Rate (DBA) - Hourly: $40.17
Midpoint Pay Rate (DBA) - Hourly: $55.11

If anyone knows any embedded SW, mechanical, EE, or DSP engineers that like Minnesota, I have multiple open positions.

Come work with me.

Well, not directly with me. I'm in Hawaii and both these jobs are in Vancouver, WA (right across the border from Portland). There is interaction between the various observatories, though, and that'll only continue to increase as we implement the national volcanic information service (system? I dunno. The name has changed several times). It's a government job, so ... you know. Pay isn't what it is for programmers in the private sector (you'd start at a 13-1 here), and there's always some weirdness when the science-denying party is in power. But, medical coverage is apparently great (or at least it is for us, but I also took the best coverage I could given that I have 2 kids and live somewhere with terrible air quality). There's also a pension, believe it or not. It's small, but it exists. The biggest benefit, though, is that this is a 40-hours-and-you're-done job. Overtime is authorized on occasion when there's an eruption or something, but otherwise you work your hours and then live your life.

If you've been around the various job threads on GWJ, you've probably seen me complain about my job. But I haven't left, because in the end, I really like it. Which was more than I could say for my time in the private sector. Working with volcanologists is really cool and interesting. Also it's fascinating to see people who are super into the whole 'serving the public' thing.

There are actually 2 positions here. One of them is with VDAP (Volcano Disaster Assistance Program), which does a lot of work with international partners. If you speak multiple languages and love international travel, this is probably an ideal job. The other position is with the Cascade Volcano Observatory proper, and will initially focus on the Rainier Lahar detection project, which is really interesting in addition to being incredibly important from a public safety standpoint.

Anyway, I encourage anyone interested to apply. It really is fulfilling work. And I'd be happy to answer any questions anyone might have.

Wizards of the Coast is hiring for a lot of positions at the moment, almost all are fully remote. Wizards has completely embraced remote work. They've moved out of their larger building and the new space is set up specifically with remote in mind.

One of them is mine, others are for folks I know. All great people, all gamers

Anyone in the Telecom/UCaaS/SaaS space need a Billing Manager/Director? I come with 20 years experience. Looking remote, could be US or Canada. I swear I'm great, my company is just shutting down.
