New Irish start-up Xcelerator is looking for software developers and it is taking a rather novel recruiting approach – during a hackathon at Dublin City University’s (DCU) innovation and enterprise centre Invent this coming Friday.
Xcelerator itself is an early stage spin-out from DCU Invent. The company was set up by Tony O’Dowd in 2011 to develop web-based statistical machine translation software for the localisation industry via its cloud-based platform KantanMT.
According to the company, people will be given a “challenging” computational task that they will have to complete in any programming language within 90 minutes. Those who are successful in completing the task will apparently then get an interview with a member of the Xcelerator team.
Friday’s hackathon event will take place at DCU Invent from 1pm and 6pm on Friday, 14 September.
