I can do all of the Technical/Infrastructure side of the job, but my programming experience is non existent other then troubleshooting.

Is it that often that you have a programmer that can do the DNS/DHCP/Infrastructure side of the house? In my experience it is two completely separate realms. Although if you guys are a small window's shop, I don't see why you can't farm this out? It might be cheaper then running a dedicated setup.

Add to the fact that I am a US citizen, and would need a sponsor.

But if the New York office needs help, I would be more then willing to help....

Actually, I am a system administrator, and I do quite a lot of the DNS/DHCP stuff at my current job. Also I'm a VB programmer, and I maintain and update our servicedesk-tool, which is written in VBA.

So there are people who can do both, unfortunately for me, I have not much experience in C++ (although my EU3-playing roommate can, so perhaps we could apply together :p), but I am willing (and able) to learn, I know at least the basics of C++

And my main argument for not wanting to move somewhere else is because I have an EU3-playing roommate, but who cares for that if you actually MOVE to the place where EU3 and other great games are made....

It sure is tempting, this one....
 
Go i wish i could take this job.

All i'd have to learn would be Visual Basic and playing a ukulele (and yes, i know you want to have a ukulele-playing codemonkey, Johan).

Too bad i can't just quit school. Argh.
 
I have some of the skills you are looking for. I am a very quick study for the other skills requested. Even more important- I really enjoy Paradox games.
I'm an American with a passport. I have studied Russian, French, and Spanish and would actually enjoy learning Swedish. I would be willing to relocate, but I would need details.
If you still need someone, send info to my email listed on my profile.
Thanks,
Andy

You should email them, I'd suggest, as they haven't said the job is taken I guess they're still taking in applications.

Yeah. Good idea. Thanks Dutchman of the flying type:rolleyes:

Sounds really interesting. I guess already living in Stockholm would be considered a good thing, even though my C/C++ skills are a bit rusty.

Worth a shot anyways, e-mail on the way! =)

Word of advice: don't mention already living in Stockholm anywhere I can read it (such as here on the forums) .. I'm increasingly likely to consider non-lawful means of shortening the queue here :p

...So yeah, I guess living in Stockholm already would be a major plus, although probably more for yourself than for paradox. (though, all else being equal, they'd probably pick the Stockholmer)
 
I am proficient at ANSI C (c89), ANSI C++ (c++98), visual basic (quite a useless skill now, except perhaps vb.net), SQL. I have done a small amount of directx and a lot of ActiveX (COM) on windows, but most of my 3D coding is in opengl. I used visual studio for years, but I develop most of my code in GNU / Linux using gcc these days.

I'm a native english speaker, and am fluent in classical latin and homeric greek (epic), but I don't know any scandinavian languages. Which I guess rules me out. In addition I'm located in england, so the commute would be a challenge :p

A rebel uprising in Huddinge!? :mad:

Frankly though, with my lack of experience in the field I think you should prolly go after the forigners first. ;)

Good luck to everybody tho!

Well, with a bit of luck you are soon not the only dutch paradoxie who lives in/near Stockholm ;)

Don't go and shoot me at the dutch meeting :p
 
So, who got the Job? :cool:
 
Looks like paradox is expanding its staff count. There's no doubt that HoI3 is a heavy work which needs a lot of labor. I think adding a new staff in paradox company will reflect badly on the price of the hoI3 :wacko: Isn't it?

Måste kännas lagom enerverande att varenda utlänning nu kommer söka till paradox, känns som att svenska underlättar för att kommunicera på kontoret.
Click to expand...

Det underlättar nog väldigt mycket. Men jag antar att de förväntar sig att icke-svensktalande lär sig svenska.
 
I hardly qualify.

And I as well thought it seems a bit steep for one person, really. But, I am willing to bet you guys need more QA than you think. I'd love to help test it!
