If this sounds interesting, please email us at jobs@myfastestpath.com. Please send your resume, links to a code repository or portfolio of your work, and tell us why Van Halen’s standard performance contract contained a provision calling for them to be provided backstage with a bowl of M&Ms from which all the brown candies had been removed. Also, take a guess at why we are asking for that.
