I have to say, I never imagined I'd see the day RenTec came into an HN Who's Hiring thread.

Is this role in your NYC or Long Island facility? It doesn't seem to be reflected on your careers page.

I wasn't planning on making the submission, but it just happened that the "Who's Hiring" thread was on the top of the page. The truth is that it is difficult to find top talent for any organization. The economy is booming, and we're competing with more firms. As we all know: "Software is Eating the World".

This role could be in either location, but I expect it will be filled in our NYC offices.

We're no different than any other technology based firm.

For what it's worth, I emailed [email protected] about this position and I was told they're only hiring for positions on their website. Do you mind clarifying that a bit? Does this role map to one of the positions on the careers page?

Any resume sent to [email protected] will be entered into our system and be seen by one of the tech managers (which includes me). If you don't mind my asking, when did you contact the firm? I will speak with the people who process the received resumes to not discourage people from making submissions.

The open position here most closely matches to the "Financial Infrastructure Programming" position.
