We’re Hiring: Systems Developers Wanted

Friday, July 11th, 2008

Reminder: we here at Equinox have three (yes, three!) positions available for “Systems Developer, Library Automation Applications.”

Do you have a passion for libraries, or even just for organizing all the information you come into contact with? Does working with a small, agile team of software designers and developers to create unique and successful solutions to interesting problems sound more like a hobby than a job?

(Do you like Thai food? We have a very decent Thai restaurant nearby. But if you don’t, apply anyway!)

Equinox is looking for self-motivated, enthusiastic software developers to join the Equinox R&D team. If you’re a programmer with at least 3 years of systems (non-web) development experience, then you may be that person.

Preferred skill set:

* Strong, demonstrated experience with large RDBMS backed systems software
* Strong, demonstrated experience with one or more of C, Perl, Javascript, Python or Java
* Strong Postgresql experience
* Public or academic library process experience
* Familiarity with the Evergreen ILS is a big plus
* Experience contributing to Open Source projects

This is a full-time salaried position. Benefits include fully company-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance; paid sick and vacation time; and a 401k plan with matching company contribution.

Please send c.v. with cover letter, three references and compensation requirements to careers@esilibrary.com.
