Who Are We
I work for a few large Minecraft servers, namely PrimeMC & Raid Central. We’re looking to hire someone to help develop new features for both servers.


Payment
We pay our developers hourly. All hours must be tracked and clocked on the company's hour management platform. Payment will start at $15/hr and increase depending on the applicant’s knowledge & experience. We will agree on a rate before you start work. Payment will be made weekly via PayPal.


Hours
We are looking for someone to be available roughly 20 hours per week or more. When you do these hours is up to you. For all we care, you could do nothing all week then work 20hrs on a Saturday.


What We Want Of You
We expect anyone who is hired to be ready to begin work within 2-3 days of being hired. More information will be given to the chosen candidates once they sign a standard NDA (non-disclosure-agreement).


Requirements
  • Extensive Java knowledge.
  • Extensive knowledge of the Spigot/Bukkit API.
  • Experience with maven & gradle.
  • Experience with working in multi-threaded environments.
  • Decent understanding of MySQL and how to integrate it into your plugins.
  • Ability to produce optimized code.
  • Ability to follow our set of code conventions (to be provided upon acceptance)
  • Ability to show past projects and work.
  • Decent response time.
  • Adept understanding of Java 8.
  • Ability to speak fluent English.
  • Preferred Nashorn interpreted ES6 experience (optional)
  • Ability to sign an NDA.
  • RELIABLE
Contact
Email [email protected] with your resume and title your email “Developer Application - [YourNameHere]”. Your email should include the following:

  • Your Full Name
  • Your Minecraft username
  • Your Skype username
  • Your Location and Time Zone
  • Link to your Github Profile (you may add @ FakeNeth to any private repositories. After review, all downloaded files (if any) will be deleted)
  • Link to source code of previous projects
  • Resume (if applicable)
  • What do you think is your greatest programming accomplishment?
  • What do you think was your greatest programming obstacle? How did you overcome this obstacle?
  • How many hours are you available for every week, & what are any limitations that might prevent you from achieving those hours?
  • How much would you like to be paid per hour?

High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.

You all need to stop arguing over an NDA, and whether this sort of job is big enough for it. If this is truly PrimeMC, they probably have huge plans, which involves almost completely custom plugins. It would only be expected to sign an NDA. If you aren't comfortable enough to sign an NDA, then you obviously aren't fit to work on such a large network.

So, being "serious" about the job, means that you have to be over 18? As anyone younger would have to have a parent involved when the initial signing happened. Would that mean to anyone younger, that being "serious" would mean getting ones legal guardian involved?
Essentially. If you aren't willing to ask your mother, father, or legal guardian to take 5 minutes out of their day to help you out with this, then maybe you don't want the position enough.

Just to verify that it actually is PrimeMC- you can see myself @ the staff page https://primemc.org/XenStaff/. (In case anyone was having their doubts :p )

Could you provide some more proof? Anyone could've created an account with your name and picture. A screenshot of you in game on the network saying in chat "MCM" or something of the sort would suffice.

What if said persons guardian works a late shift? Or doesn't condone ones will to join a company, yet the said candidate is a genius when it comes to java and its variants?
Would that mean that they don't want the positon, "enough"?
No one is actually joining a company. You'd be an independent contractor. And the chances of someone not being able to get 5 minutes out of their parents day and also being an excellent programmer are incredibly slim, so that isnt something to worry about unless we find an application greater than the others where thats actually a thing.

100% agree, your account is FakeNEth on MCM, however, on PrimeMC, it seems to be FakeNeth, explanation?
I made my account in a rush and accidentally capitalized the E.

Very well. However, concerning the NDA, the chances may be "Slim" however, iTouchedTrump and others alike, fall into the same situation.
He can apply and if his application is better than all of the applications we have received and will receive, then I will discuss with the owner of PrimeMC and see what he wants to do about it, as its up to him.

They aren't exactly "useless". If anything it just strengthens the option for proper legal action if such measures need to be taken.

Anyways, please keep this thread on topic. The NDA is honestly a 1 time thing you agree to when you join us, and you will never hear of it again unless you violate it (which no one has managed to do with my time at these servers).
Implying you, FakeNEth, is going to go to international court to take action against someone releasing an idea for a block game plugin 2 days before launch.

Thank you to everyone who replied. If you have not been contacted by now then unfortunately we will not be accepting your application at this current time.

I will also be closing the applications for now, so thanks again to anyone who applied.
[DOUBLEPOST=1496497411][/DOUBLEPOST]I have re-opened applications for the time being.

It's expected that I'd sign a contract, an employment contract including a NDA. It's just very strange to have it multiple times in your presentation of the offer. To me, that feels like the concept of NDAs amazes you more than the development itself, which is a bit of an "eh" in my head. I'd want to join a team that puts the passion for development before anything else. Look at the same companies you mentioned, Google, Apple, employees will all sign employment contracts but their recruiting pages don't have any mention of it. That's because it's not what entices people to join. I mean, even if you look at bigger servers like hypixel and hive, they don't mention an NDA.

If you have to mention NDA multiple times to entice people to join, either it's a very boring position, or you find the concept of NDAs as something amazing which tbh only kids do. Businesses only care for them because they help prevent ideas leaking. We don't enjoy contracts.
Hypixel and The Hive do for a fact mention that you'd need to sign multiple contracts including a NDA. (said by a developer that I often speak to over at Hypixel).[DOUBLEPOST=1496666093][/DOUBLEPOST]
Let's be completely honest with one another and the community.

If a virtual character, especially one of whom you don't personally know, agrees to sign a so-called "NDA", and lies about their age (most people do, due to tense security paranoia), your whole "legal NDA" is void.

A) You wouldn't be able to take legal action, even if you were willing to pay the dozens of lawyer fees and state taxes

B) Would you really want to take action against someone you don't personally know, especially if it was just in violation of a preliminary NDA, that was violated from sharing a non-registered companies information
That's why you attach an ID to the NDA? Are people retarded? Judging from the comments I'm seeing on this thread I can safely confirm that none of you've signed a NDA or even any form of contract in the first place.

EDIT: This thread is exactly why you should hire your developer at SpigotMC and not on this site.

Now you're just talking nonsense.

https://hivemc.com/support/68/jobs
https://hypixel.net/jobs/

Find me "NDA" here. Also, NDAs are more for contractors. Employees will be covered under a non disclosure clause in their employment contract, typically, not in a separate contract.

--

I've probably signed a lot more contracts than you, and no more than 5 explicit NDAs in my life. They're overrated.

I will be closing applications again. Thanks to everyone who applied again.

I've sent a reply to all applicants we are currently interested in hiring. If you have not gotten a reply then unfortunately we are not interested in working with you at the current time. However we do archive all applications, so there is a chance we will be contacting you in some time if we're in need of some more hands.

Thanks again!
