Wow! awesome opportunity for a talented individual living up north.

I have been to the campus twice, nice facility except for those stairs coming out of the south building when you cross the entrance street towards the north building I tripped on that uneven stair and dented my macbook laptop shell.

Good luck finding the correct candidate. Using TE was a good move, a huge network of individuals here.

Expect

if you get a job offer, we will give you the luxury of picking between a Lenovo or a new MacBook to make up for your bad experience with our stairs lol

hahaha thanks. I literally flew almost into Harrison street.

These stairs

so funny

If you are walking up the stairs, on the left hand side, check the last stair and look how uneven it is. You will see what I am referring to, then you will probably laugh for the rest of your day imagining me falling and rolling onto Harrison st.

LOL! I haven't noticed it. next time I'm there, I'll definitely check it out!

Awesome stuff... I've probably already applied to at least one of these through F5's site.

Seattle only though eh? That's a bit of a drawback for me... Love Seattle, Love F5's campus there, dont think I could do Seattle as a permanent location though. Plus Im still holding out hope to find the fully remote position that will allow me to travel the US & world while collecting a paycheck.

Best of luck in the hiring!
