The Distributed Systems Group in the Computer Science Department of Stanford
University seeks a Systems Programmer II, III or IV to support its research
in the area of network-based file and database service. The work will focus
on the on-going development of a high-performance distributed file and
database system to support a distributed system based on multiprocessor
and uniprocessor workstations.  Some additional activity is planned with
parallel programming languages. This research is supported in part by
Digital Equipment Corporation.

The programmer will be responsible for: extension of the existing file server
software to parallel execution, addition of various basic support utilities
and, extensions to support atomic transactions, replication and basic database
access. In addition, programmer will maintain existing file server software.

The ideal candidate:
* Holds a Masters or Bachelor degree in Computer Science or the equivalent
  plus experience with networking and operating system software.

* Is a self-starter and is willing to  work hard in a relatively unstructured
  environment to produce creative solutions and quality software for an
  experimental distributed system.

* Attaches a premium to learning, accomplishing difficult goals and advancing
  his or her technical proficiency in a university research environment.
  In particular, the candidate should be interested in distributed systems,
  file, database and knowledge base systems as well as parallel programming
  languages. The programmer will have the opportunity to work closely with
  students, faculty, and staff of the Stanford Computer Science Department
  on these and other topics.

Experience with C, UNIX, DEC VAX, SUN workstations and (of course)
our own V distributed system are definite assets.
