SmartGift | New York (NYC) | Senior Software Engineer | on-site preferred, but REMOTE for the right person (with occasional travel to NYC)

We're building the next generation of gifting and we're looking for a senior full-stack web engineer to help us.

If you like working fast, building REST APIs that will be used by millions and creating complicated e-commerce systems, we want you. You'll be given responsibility, freedom, challenges, and the chance to determine your workplace. Not to mention, we offer more equity than you could get at most places.

If you think of technical debt like a curse that will come back to haunt your future self, contact me (Matthew Davidson) at matthew at smartgift.it.

If you're looking for a little puzzle to do, write a code snippet (in any language) that converts the word "hiring" into decimal Unicode points and then concatenates their decimal representations back into a string. Use that string as an email address to apply (E.g., the word "hey" would be 104101121@smartgift.it). Be sure to attach the code snippet as well as a cover letter and resume.

Regarding your puzzle, the mention of unicode is strange considering the string "hiring" can be handled with ordinals < 255 in any language (ie: no special handling for unicode required). Some languages make unicode ordinals easy, others not so much. Perhaps encoded("hiring☺")@smartgift.it? ;)

Yes, it's a bit of a red herring. Or it was, until you gave it away :) I guess next time we'll have to demand EBCDIC.
