Qualcomm - San Diego, CA - Application & System Administrator

To apply: http://bit.ly/10uvgbD

Qualcomm is always hiring but this post is specifically looking for an application and system administrator. The position is a 12 month temp req and while we're hoping we can turn whoever fills this roll into a full time employee after the 12 month period we can not guarantee that.

We're looking for someone experienced in enterprise application administration. Ideally in the ETL or BI space. The application you would be working with primarily would be Informatica PowerCenter [http://www.informatica.com]. The job posting gives a run down of the various skill sets we're looking for.

That being said the reason I'm posting this here is that we haven't had much luck finding a good fit for this position using the traditional avenues. I'm a big fan of the community here and I'm sure there's more than a few people here that would be right for the job.

This goes for all job postings, but even if you don't feel you meet all of the requirements, apply anyway. When it comes down to it, we're looking for talented, smart people with a passion for technology and an eagerness to learn. If that's you, we're looking forward to hearing from you.

Who needs comments, all posts should just have a graffiti wall. What could go wrong?

Always fun to read these Etsy ops posts. I'm very curious to know what their practical architecture looks like that allows them to capture 250k unique metrics and also run skyline against them all. It seems like each new algorithm would add a ton of processing requirements when you're at that scale.

Also, it seems like this would be really useful with the addition of metrics grouping and group specific algorithms as right now it looks like their 250k metrics all pop up in the same anomalous bucket with all metrics getting the same algorithms applied to them.

I initially thought the Apple version was on the left and was wondering why people were excited about less refined looking icons.

Those IOS icons are so inconsistent. It's like they told skeuomorphic designers to take their designs and just make them flat. This is really apparent in the gears of the settings icon and in the tick marks on Safari and Compass. Then they didn't even bother to make Game Center flat which really throws things off.

This redesign is miles away better than what Apple managed.

The bitcoin incident was a xen exploit that they couldn't talk about until Xen provided a fix and disclosed themselves. They talk about it, without referencing the bitcoin incident specifically, here http://blog.linode.com/2012/06/13/xen-security-advisories-an...

Personally I'll only ever allow flash to load and watch a video if a product page has sufficiently grabbed my attention first. Doubly so if I'm at work.

They should focus more on the real time nature of the updates and why I should care if my ipad gets a update in real time when I make an change on my iphone. I'm sure there's some scenarios where real time is useful and even more so once they start supporting more platforms but users are unlikely to try and come up with these scenarios for long before they move along to something else.

First off, my own anecdotal findings are that atheists are some of the best read people on religious subject matters. So I would say many of them have no qualms with reading religious themed work.

Secondly, at its core Zen Buddhism is more philosophy than religion. I'm an atheist and can still agree with most of the concepts found in Zen Buddhism. It's not about worshipping gods but more about the philosophical teachings of Siddhartha who most Zen Buddhist regards as having no particular supernatural powers.

I would hope most non religious people have no bias against it and if they do I would recommend they give that a second thought.
