[can.jobs] Positions available at Unicus

emc@unicus.UUCP (Eric M. Carroll) (01/25/88)

Sorry for the repost, but we decided we needed wider distribution.
(Yes I cancelled the previous one, and yes I (*blush*) fixed the 
spelling errors. I *thought* I'd spell checked the last one...)

Well, Unicus is at it again. We need more people. We need C programmers, 
a Mac wizard, applications programmers, quality assurance people, and a 
sales person. Unemployed? Bored? Looking for a neat job? Read on...

Unicus Corporation is a small company specializing in compiler technology
and telecommunications problems. The process of bringing our product to
market has opened up several opportunities, encompassing a diverse skill
set. We offer a relaxed, close knit work environment, with flexible hours,
varying workload, interesting people, minimal supervision and a rigorous 
adherence to intellectual stimulation and product excellence. We are looking 
for people who enjoy a challenge, and work well in a team environment. 
These positions are available Feb 1. To arrange an interview, send email 
or snail mail to the address below, or phone (416) 967-1320.

C Programmer (3 positions):

	Two positions are available in our new Product Support
	Group. These positions require a solid knowledge of C and
	experience with programming over Unix. You will work under
	the direction of the Product Implementation Manager to port
	the product to various flavours of Unix and customize it to
	suit the client's requirements. Team programming experience
	is an asset. This position emphasizes flexibility, speed,
	and good coding habits. These positions are available on
	contract, if desired.

	A third programmer is required in the Project Development
	group. This individual will work with the Project
	Implementation Manager and System Architect to do project
	development work. This individual should have a strong CS
	grounding, fluency in C, and some exposure to object
	oriented programming languages. C++ knowledge is an asset.

Macintosh Wizard:

	This individual will have had significant experience with
	the Toolbox, especially with all those little details only
	vaguely mentioned in Inside Macintosh, or only knowable via
	direct experience or divine guidance. This person will be a
	major resource person for the Project Development Group, and
	should be well versed in user interface design and implementation
	issues. A strong personality, with solid leadership
	abilities, would be very welcome. Experience with object
	oriented languages (like C++ or MPW Pascal) is preferred.
	Fluency in C is assumed. Knowledge of C++ is an asset, as
	well as a user's level familiarity with Unix and its
	development tools.

Application Programmers (2 positions):

	These individuals will work in our local applications
	language under the Product Manager to develop solutions for
	clients. They will have a good understanding of general
	programming practices, and a willingness to investigate our
	product as real programming-oriented users, and solve client
	defined problems with it. This position could lead the
	interested individual to representing clients' interests and
	problems within Unicus itself. A solid combination of
	interpersonal skills, programming experience and an ability
	to talk to customers in their own language would be very
	valued.

Quality Assurance:

	This individual reports to the Product Support Manager,
	and is directly responsible for the quality of the released
	product. The successful candidate will be a person who takes
	great pride in causing software to crash and burn horribly.
	Persistence, unwillingness to be blinkered by what the
	manual (or the developers) say, and a satisfaction in a bug
	free world are desirable. An understanding of how algorithms
	work and how to design experiments to constrain variables
	are very important. The successful candidate will be in the
	unique position of working closely in the definition of how
	Unicus' QA program should work, and implementing the
	accepted ideas.

Outside Sales:

	Unicus needs a full time sales person to work with our
	marketing people and let the marketplace know we exist.
	Someone who enjoys travel across Canada and the US, and is
	willing to beat down doors to demonstrate and sell our
	product would be valued. Experience in the sales side of the
	software industry would be very welcome. Give us a call - we
	will know if we fit when we get together.
