Prescient Software Inc. (San Jose, CA) seeks a 

VICE PRESIDENT or DIRECTOR OF SOFTWARE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Prescient is a start up software company in Silicon Valley. We are
currently selling  Merge Ahead, the tool for merging code or text. The
company has several other personal and group productivity applications
products under development for Unix and PC platforms. The company is
currently raising first round financing. 

The company seeks an experienced software manager who will be able to
develop project plans for the proposed products including time,
manpower and cost estimates. This work will become a basis for the
company business plan used for both financing and operational managment.
After completing the plns, this manager will then need to attract, hire
and manage a team of engineers to deliver these products according to plan. The
company is currently in the early stages of start-up; candidates
should have had previous experience in successfully planning and
managing at this stage at another start up company. 

The company's plans call for expertise in Unix, PCs (Windows, DOS and
in the future NT) platforms, with experience in Macintosh and NeXT
a plus. The company's plans also call for expertise in file systems
(NFS, VFS, etc.), Graphical User Interfaces (X Windows, Motif, MS
Windows, NeXTstep and Macintosh), animation and simulation,
distributed computing (client/server), Object Oriented programming and
Prescient (Anticipatory) Agents. 

Knowledge of Groupware and CSCW markets, especially applications for
communication, collaboration, coordination and control (including email,
conferencing, structured discourse, shared windows and editors, version
control, configuration management, task management, project management
and work flow control) will be especially valuable. A background in
User Centered Applications design and Cognitive Psychology will be
especially valuable.

There are opportunities for the candidate to participate in the
current round of financing which should be especially attractive for
those who find the chance to hold a major ownership stake in the
company alluring.  

Resumes should be sent to:
