It is probably not obvious why our HR department posted this job ad to this newsgroup, particularly to anyone who doesn't know Sociomantic's relationship to the D community.

Most of the apps running on our servers, are written in D. The role doesn't involve D programming, and the job ad doesn't even mention D, but it will involve working very closely with our D developers, in supporting the deployment and operation of D code.

Sounds like potentially good DevOps then!

Lack of post editing capabilities in NG ensures our shame will be eternal :)

It's the next version of Linux that we wrote from scratch in D.

We're all pretty excited here about your potential application. Go for it! ;)
