I read the details for the game programmers job and these are not unfulfillable requirements. Those two things which are really hard to overcome are:
- "Authorized to work in U.S." (for non US people)
- the "including but not limited to" list
If you are somehow young it is very difficult to receive strong experience on every aspect of this list. If I would try to apply in ~2 yrs on such a profile, I would start from now on to increase my knowledge and experience on two of these things.
Not all of the "desired skills and pluses" are reachable for everyone, but, while trying to step into the industry, the points "At least one shipped title where credited as programmer", "Strong networking skills", "B.S. in computer science or equivalent study in related fields" and especially "Desire and vision to help shape a project from the ground up" are easier to get as some might think.
Except the green card, which one would desperately need, this is a fair profile ID is looking for,... not like those exaggerated calls for developers here in Germany or such ... I think.
