We are hiring!

Extreme Computing Group (XCG), в которой я работаю, нанимает разработчиков. В том числе рассматриваются кандидаты из-за рубежа. Само собой, локальные кандидаты предпочтительней, но их как-то не очень заметно, так что у вас есть хороший шанс. Делаются как новые H1B, так и H1B transfer, насколько я могу судить. Позиции ищуться по ключевым словам «eXtreme Computing Group (XCG)». Вот пара ссылок:
