Hi all; my new startup uses XML plumbing but isn't all that XML-oriented; I'm posting the jobs here anyhow just because there's a chance I'll know anyone who might express interest. -Tim ======================================================================= Antarcti.ca Systems Inc. is a venture-backed Vancouver-based startup which is building a general-purpose network mapping and visualization platform. Antarcti.ca's founder & CEO is Tim Bray, who co-founded Open Text (NASDAQ:OTEX) in 1989 and helped invent XML in 1996-98. The jobs will have the usual VC-financed Internet startup flavour: ridiculously high intensity, decent salaries, juicy stock options (the earlier the juicier), and a chance to change the fabric of the net. The founding partners are fortysomething and have run some companies before, so we think we'll be a bit better-organized than your average Internet startup. What we're looking for: Client Development Our client software operates in 2 and 3 dimensions; it talks to our database engine via XML over HTTP. The database is already running. We need graphically gifted and imaginative people who can imagine what the future looks like and are on top of enough 2D and 3D technology that they can build what they can imagine, and get it to run on the average desktop. Business Development/Product Management We have an immense amount of work to do in positioning our offering so that it provides a pleasant and productive user experience, and then in getting the word out to the first wave of prospective users. We need people who understand positioning, marketing, and the Web. Server-side Domain Leads The back-end software includes an SQL database (MySQL for now, but that's not carved in stone), a monster robot implemented in perl, and a superoptimized run-time engine implemented as an Apache module in C; (in-memory database, no SQL at runtime!). We need people to be development leads in each of these areas. The use of SQL is not very advanced; the Apache module uses basic interfaces; the robot does not use perl exotica, so you don't have to be an SQL, Apache, or perl god to qualify. We are however going to be driving a very public website so we need expertise in the production of robust and very very fast software. Web Site Operations In the near future, we'll be rolling out a monster 7/24 gigahit-capable website; we're going to need a Director of Operations who's been around this track before. *************************************************************************** This is xml-dev, the mailing list for XML developers.
