SPUG: 3 postions at Amazon.com

[SPUG-list-owner]

> 
> All three of these positions are positions requiring some measure of
> seniority and leadership; perl is a big plus but not a requirement (All
> positions do work primarily in perl.)  These positions are full-time,
> permanent only.
> 
> The office is right by Safeco field -- great for ball games!  
> 
> All of these positions are in teams that are recognized as being
> strategically important to the company: they may look like internal-only,
> "fodder-for-layoffs" teams, but they aren't.  All of them have high
> visibility and are seen as critical to our success.
> 
> They're all in my team or the general area of my team, although I'm not the
> hiring manager for all of them.  (We crib off each others' job descriptions,
> which is why they have some of the same words -- even managers are lazy...)
> 
> I've heard on this list that people are skeptical about jobs not being
> "real" jobs but just a way to get resumes.  Please believe me that these are
> all real jobs that we need to fill with the right candidates.
> 
> 
> Please contact me (binde at amazon.com) with resumes (indicating which job(s)
> you're interested in) or questions.  For resumes, I'll forward them on to
> our recruiter to make sure they get into the system so they can also be
> considered for other jobs.
