US-Northeast - Software Eng., OODB/RDBMS CONNECTIVITY

Software Engineer - OODB/RDBMS CONNECTIVITY US - Northeast Copyright (C) 1995 by Lee Johnson International Our client is looking for a early-career, SUPER-BRIGHT, HIGHLY-MOTIVATED software engineer with about 5 years of COMMERCIAL software PRODUCT development experience who wants to learn a COMPLETELY NEW TECHNOLOGY and deliver revolutionary new features to an already industry-leading product. One of these new features will enable our client to offer orders of magnitude better performance than existing RDBMSs and do things the RDBMSs will never be able to do. The other new feature involves creating an interactive front-end to our client's industry-leading product. The resulting product will be far better than any RDBMS or OODB on the market or under development today. This is an opportunity for you to become a member of a small group of 4 world-class developers in a medium-size startup producing a revolutionary product and learn from well known experts in the database connectivity field. MANDATORY EXPERIENCE/TRAITS ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 1. Extremely bright, highly motivated, always in 90+ percentile of group or class. 2. At least five years COMMERCIAL experience designing, developing, and maintaining a large piece of system or application software that has been shipped to users, ideally through several revisions. 3. Experience in at least one of the following areas: - Database front-end: e.g., SQL, database user interface, query creation, parse trees, prejoins, SimplifySQL, database schema modification. - Database interoperability: e.g., database gateway, SQL access group, portable database interface, referential integrity, prejoins, query creation, parse trees, external datatypes, user defined datatypes, replicated server. - SQL Engine (internals) -e.g., SQL parser, SQL grammar, SQL compiler, SQL data access language, schema mapping, schema optimization. - Database middleware -e.g., ODBC. 4. Ability to learn about, develop, and extend an advanced, complex software system in a reliable and modular fashion. Good sense of engineering tradeoffs and ability to understand impact of software changes on robustness, clarity, and performance. 5. A good understanding of data modeling (entity-relationship, object-oriented, relational). 6. Good written communication skills are essential. DESIRABLE EXPERIENCE (but client is willing to train in these areas) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 1. Working experience with C++ is desirable. 2. Extended experience with any of the following highly desirable: Oracle, Sybase, DB2, Informix, Ingres, RDB, PACE, ODBC. 3. Experience developing relational database internals a strong plus. Candidates we CANNOT help ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ LACK MINIMUM EXPERIENCE: You MUST have ALL the skills listed in the MANDATORY SKILLS section above. IMMIGRANTS: For U.S. positions, we are unable to place people on F-1 or H-1 visa. TN visa is OK. ENTRY-LEVEL GRADS: Employers utilize College Placement Offices to hire recent graduates with no paid commercial industry experience. EMPLOYERS DO NOT USE RECRUITING FIRMS FOR THIS PURPOSE. WE ARE UNABLE TO ASSIST ENTRY-LEVEL GRADUATES WITH NO PAID COMMERCIAL INDUSTRY EMPLOYMENT. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ FREQUENT JOB Our client companies hire us to find ONLY the top 10% CHANGES: engineers who have been on each JOB 3+ YEARS MINIMUM and have had FULL LIFE-CYCLE development experience on LARGE, COMPLEX systems. If you have changed jobs every 1-2 years, EVEN THOUGH NO FAULT OF YOUR OWN, the probability of one of OUR clients hiring you through us is very small. YOU ARE MUCH MORE LIKELY TO RECEIVE AN OFFER BY APPLYING DIRECTLY TO THE COMPANY. RESUME ADVICE ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ RESUME CONTENT: Content is much more effective in attracting an employer's attention than cosmetic appearance. Make sure that EACH PROJECT you describe in your resume covers 4 points: (1) Your FUNCTIONAL title (e.g., Lead of 3-person team); (2) Specific functions you PERSONALLY performed (e.g., analysis, design, coding, testing, etc.); (3) Description of type of project, CPU, OS, languages, methodologies, tools; (4) The end result (e.g., the system went into production or was shipped on schedule). You should also have a Summary of Expertise at the beginning of your resume that lists the GENERIC AREAS (e.g. GUI design, Network Management design, etc.) that you are truly expert in, as well as CPU, OS, languages, tools, and methodologies.
