No, not the latest installment in the Harry Potter series, it’s what sounds like possibly the coolest comp-sci job currently available. Werner Vogels, CTO of Amazon, is hiring and looking for some seriously smart people to tackle some sort of distributed systems problems (details per se are lacking). But if this sort of thing floats your boat (and it does for me, though not as high in the water as I’d like it to these days) then check it out.
Steve Jenson put it best:
Learn what every sentence in that job description means. Meditate on it, they are your koans.
If you think you might have a shot, Steve has put together the primer you’re going to need. Good luck.
