Pwnboxer is hiring

[Tim]

Hey guys,

I'm looking to expand Pwnboxer (link: pwnboxer.com) to include some astoundingly incredible things. The 3.0 version of Pwnboxer includes a ridiculous amount of awesomeness, some things that are outrageously cutting edge. I've just realized though that I have bitten off more than I can chew. Even though Pwnboxer 3.0 will be a free update to licensed users, I want it to be a BADASS update.

To this end I am looking to hire somebody to join the PB team. I need somebody with the following requirements:

• Must have a deep c and c++ proficiency, revolving heavily around Windows GUI and core functions
• Must be able to take extreme direction from me
• Must be awesome at researching techniques and new methods
• Must be in the United States
• Prefer in Minnesota (but not required). The closer the better.
• Must be 18+
• Work arrangement will be contractor-based

I'm very open regarding compensation, ranging from profit sharing to straight up monthly pay of ~$1000/mo


If this sounds like something you would be interested in, please send me a PM with information such as:

• Your name / location
• Your skills
• Examples
• Ways to contact you (IM, Email, Ph)
• Your knowledge of MMO gaming
• Availability
• Anything else you think is useful
• Note: If you are from MN we most likely will arrange an interview at Starbucks

Since I am linking this forum post from a few sites like Craigslist, etc., I'll give a brief overview of me and what Pwnboxer is.

About me:

I build gaming websites and softwares, amongst other things. If you are coming from a World of Warcraft post, you might know me from a few things I've worked on, such as being the original CEO of Wowhead.com, as well as building a couple guild hosting systems. I also am the owner of Pwnboxer multiboxing software, and this multiboxing.com website.

I love gaming and building tools for the community and am excited to add somebody onto the team.

Pwnboxer is a multiboxing software, mostly used by World of Warcraft gamers (and some GMs!) to play multiple copies of the game at once. The multiboxing playstyle is fully acceptable by Blizzard as a legitimate way to play their game. Pwnboxer has been around for about a year and a half and is used a ton of awesome people.

Maybe he'll send a gathering of creepers (fancy name I made up for a crapton of creepers) after you if you disobey?

Extreme direction, as in, I say do XYZ, and you do XYZ. If you do XYZa then I'm going to send a nuclear missile to your neighborhood.

On a serious note, holy crap, a ton of people read this forum post. I've already gotten a few responses, but nothing solid so far.

I'm going to keep this updated/bumped with some more descriptions over the next few days probably.

[ollee]

What if its XYZ+$9001?? That would be profitable, right?? jk...

And there's nothing really extreme about that Tim, I'd pit it more as 'Precise Direction'

Unless you're intending said employee to do it under extreme circumstances such as while skydiving? T'would be epic.

Hah

Still doing "interviews" for this position, PM me if interested!

[Nghtmr9999]

I might pass on this one, due to my class load. I have some more difficult classes I need to focus on.

[Tim]

Just got a couple more PMs from interested people. Check your PMs/Emails!

(nght talk on skype bout that heh)

@Nighmr9999: What classes you taking right now?
@Tim: would you be interested in moving to .Net and C#?
