SoftQuad Inc., is looking for a few bright, energetic recent graduates,
near-graduates or honest hackers. We develop publishing software based
on (but not limited to) a substantially-rewritten version of
device-independent troff. We need programmers with an interest in
typesetting, text or word processing and graphics to develop our
products and to port them to additional versions of UNIX+.
The environment is challenging as befits our work, chaotic as you'd
expect from a small but growing startup, and rewarding. The development
system is a SUN-3/180 workhorse. We have a variety of target machines
(3B2/400, PDP-11, 80*86, PC/RT, etc.) and laser printers in-house.
We need full-time people now. Degree and work experience
desirable but attitude counts.
The Positions
We are currently considering applicants for the following
UNIX/C programmer jobs. All involve development of new code
as well as some maintenance.
Text formatting specialist - Design and implement sweeping changes to
our text formatting software. These are senior positions.
Preprocessor Specialist - to help develop new preprocessors for troff,
and to enhance (and repair!) tbl, eqn, pic, grap, and related
programs.
Imager specialist - preferably familiar with the device models assumed
by different kinds of printers: photo- typesetters, laser printers
(PostScript, Imagen, etc), screens for previewing, etc. Background in
typesetting/publishing helpful. Substantial development programming.
Porting Specialist - to keep our product running smoothly under a range
of UNIX variants, and possibly other operating systems (VMS? DOS?).
Exposure to a variety of UNIXes (V7, 4BSD, System V) would be an
asset.
Please send your resume (as troff input) by electronic mail.
