# Wrenfield & Stowe — Senior Engineer (310 Years’ Experience Required)

**[SATIRE]** — by The Satire Desk · inspired by a viral job listing that asked for “310 years of experience” — widely reported as a typo for 3–10 that no one corrected before thousands applied

WRENFIELD & STOWE TALENT — SENIOR ENGINEER
Experience required: 310 years. Location: remote. Please read the whole listing; we understand that you have time.

THE ROLE
Our client is seeking a senior engineer with a minimum of three hundred and ten years of hands-on experience. The posting has been live for six weeks and remains, to our knowledge, unfilled. We have chosen to leave the figure as written. The right candidate will understand why.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
Breadth. A candidate who was present for the founding of the discipline, who has shipped to production across multiple centuries, and who does not require onboarding because they have, in some sense, always been here. Experience with frameworks that do not yet exist will be considered an asset. Experience with frameworks that no longer exist is expected.

COMPENSATION
Competitive, and negotiable against any salary history you have accumulated prior to the seventeenth century.

Note to the industry: the brief said three to ten years. The desk typed it, the platform published it, and forty thousand people applied anyway.

— Wrenfield & Stowe Talent. We move candidates forward. Constantly. Toward the door.
