Who, exactly, is "am9icytiNjRAc2lmdHNjaWVuY2UuY29t" (listed as a contact on the Jobs page)?


I was going to post the same thing. Would love to apply, but I am not local. :)


That's a small puzzle. :)


Gotcha. I figured it was either a puzzle or an error (ie "I don't know what the contact email address for this job is yet, so I'll enter some gibberish...").

trxblazr, you have demonstrated poor judgement. Sift Science is trying to make a small attempt at filtering some of the inevitable spam that results from a public job posting. You spoiled it. Why? For what purpose? To show how smart you are?

Sift Science does not look like some arrogant company that has cooked up their own broken security system, and that deserves to be poked at this way. It is not a public service to defeat this quiz, a quiz that some people would have been happier solving on their own so as to have a fair shot at apply for the job.



Ah, that would be why my attempts at a character-for-character deciphering failed...


aww don't spoil the fun
