We're hiring on my team again!

Nice-to-haves*:

Knowledge of C/C++ and #Java and experience with #PHP/MySQL

Knowledge of Unix & #Linux

Basic networking experience

Experience with Perforce, #Git, or other version control software is desirable

Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science or similar or relevant work experience

2 or more years’ experience providing technical support directly to enterprise customers

* These are listed as requirements on the site, but they make zero since to me. There is literally no one on the Minneapolis team that knows C/C++. We do have a C/C++ API, so yes, it would be good if you knew that, but most people use our derived APIs (Perl, Python, .NET, Ruby, PHP, and maybe that is it). Java, like C, is a native API. 

Also, we do support Windows and Mac, so unclear why knowledge of that is not listed.
