Some of you may remember me from the last time I posted on this forum about a job opportunity for a small development team. Well, I’m back. Last time, we were able to hire 2 amazing programmers, AbsoluteLOL and ArceusInator. Unfortunately, AbsoluteLOL our Head Dev recently had to quit due to some family issues with his computer time. Arceus has bravely taken over the role, but we are still down a developer, and there is a hole on the database side that has to be filled.
We are looking for 2 people, a android/web application Programmer and a Database Manager. We ask that the Programmer be experienced in Java and HTML, experience in Javascript, Python, or Ruby on Rails would also be a plus. The Database Manager would have to be experienced in MySQL. I would talk more about what exactly the development team is working on, but it’s very very complex and has many features. Plus, if I say it here on the blog Roblox can own it. If you are very interested, we’ll be more than happy to talk about it.
Payment will be mostly equity in the company (a legal document will be drawn up and sent to you for signatures). However, I understand the concern that we are trying to scam someone, so, we’ll also pay $25 after you have been working for a month or 2.
We ask that whoever we hire is active, willing to learn, and willing to help. They must also be able to think creatively and bring ideas to the table. We will accept all applications, and final hiring decisions will be made by myself and ArceusInator.
If you are interested, please post on this thread, and we’ll get in touch with you. Thank you! |

Wow, 25 whole dollars, incredible. I can get an internship at Google that pays 70k a year, so I think I'll stick with Google. |

| True. But the $25 is just upfront. You'll also getting equity of the company, which down the road could be worth far more. Equity is a rather standard way of payment for tech startups, when Apple went public over 20 become millionaires overnight because of this. Also, to the earlier point, his dad didn't like the fact the fact that he was using the computer so often, and thought that it was a waste of time. Weather we want to admit it or not, our families are still in charge of us at this age. |

I don't think anyone is going to apply for a job if he doesn't know what that job consists of. |

| Pirates, equity is all nice and good when you are working face to face with qualified people, this job is 25 bucks and free labor for faceless teenagers with their own agenda, shady, POSSIBLY worth something, but shady. |

"internship at Google that pays 70k a year"
Good for you. Get a job at google, make 70k/year, invent something that will change people's lives. I hope you enjoy your job and I hope you make people happy but right now we're trying to get a web developer and you aren't helping at all.
"I must say, you're doing some pretty professional stuff."
Yeah, I'm not sure what's going on with that. On the day he was supposed to send us the API we'd use for the site he got grounded "until further notice". I think it's pretty ridiculous that anyone's parents would ground them from something that could end up paying for their college education but that's just my opinion.
We're really serious about this - it isn't the kind of things you typically see in this forum. We have a bank account, a professional business mentor, and we're a registered company. We need people who want to be professional web/application developers, this could easily be the start of a career. |

| People might be more interested with what you do if you give more hints beyond something to do with APIs which I assume are accessed from an Android app. To be honest I would consider signing on if I had more info. |

| Well that is because any content on their site comes under their posession, quite common in ToSes, btw added someone who may be you on Steam. |

| Unless roblox has a TOS that says they only follow half of their TOS, I'm going to assume that they follow the entire thing. |

@mrchubbs I hate to break it down for you but finding a job at Google is even harder than getting into Harvard. |

I can't do databases, but I'm interested in seeing what this is about, and what you'd need to get this done. Send me more information, please.
