SoftQuad Inc., of Toronto, is a young, growing software com-
pany with opportunities for advancement and an exciting work
environment. We develop publishing software based on (but
not limited to) a substantially-rewritten version of
device-independent troff.
SoftQuad is looking for people to assist in testing and
validating our software. Although these people will be
working in a technical environment, no formal technical
qualifications are required. In fact, these aren't jobs for
programmers!
General Qualifications:
No specific education or work experience required. Posi-
tions require some acquaintance with the UNIX environment.
A knowledge of nroff/troff is desirable.
We need people with a good general education or experience
in the world of work. Clerical or secretarial experience is
an asset. Ideal for someone looking for a career change, or
a recent university graduate.
The most important qualities needed are: intelligence; flex-
ibility; a meticulous nature; the ability to take responsi-
bility and a desire to work in a technical environment.
Good organizational skills are a must, as a large part of
this work involves record-keeping and checking.
Our environment is often chaotic and fast-moving, but condu-
cive to career growth and job satisfaction.
The Positions:
Porting Validation Assistant - Responsible for validating
our software to ensure that it works correctly on a
variety of computers.
Software Validation Assistant (Modification Control) -
Maintains database of software modifications and
enhancements, and participates in evaluating and
isolating possible bugs. Good oral and written com-
munication skills are essential. Knowledge of
nroff/troff highly desirable.
SoftWare Validation Assistant (Baseline Testing) - Tests all
modifications to software. Writes new tests and
incorporates them into the product test suite.
