	     Job Openings for OS and Communications Gurus
		     Wildfire Communications Inc.


Wildfire Communications Inc., is a high technology start-up company
developing a telecommunications server that does for people what
network servers do for computers. It helps people connect with each
other, and it makes it easy for them to exchange messages and
information. Users control Wildfire through voice commands over the
telephone, or through a visual interface from their desktop computer.

Wildfire unifies communications and computing environments, it
incorporate off the shelf hardware for speech recognition and
telephony within a standard 486 UNIX platform. An object oriented
telecommunication and connection OS will be built on top of UNIX
together with a suite of productivity applications.


COMMUNICATIONS O/S DESIGNER

In this position you'll be responsible for the internal workings of an
advanced voice-controlled communications server. You'll design and
implement an architecture that handles up to 100 simultaneous calling
sessions, each of which requires responsive access to services,
information and shared resources. You'll figure out how to manage, in
real time, a collection of special purpose hardware and I/O resources
while still maintaining fast response time.

Your software will establish the platform for internal applications
development, and eventually external development as well. You'll
need to provide excellent diagnostic and performance measurement
tools.

BSCS or higher degree required. At least 8 years of software
experience required, with specific experience in the following areas:
OS design and development, I/O performance tuning, device driver
development, interprocess communication techniques, object oriented
design and languages, applied C++ and UNIX experience.


NETWORK AND DATA COMMUNICATIONS WIZARD

If we want to figure out how to get two computers to talk, youUre
the one we'll turn to. We need someone who has a very broad
experience base. Your software will network teleco- munication servers
in local clusters, across wide area networks and to end user desktops.
Both data and phone conversations will be corinated and routed. This
application requires the tight integration of digital network
communications with telephony and call management.

We need you to be an expert on communications protocols both over
datacom connections or across networks. You'll need to design high
level protocols such as the way that multiple Wildfire systems
communicate with each other, as well as low level protocols that might
be used to talk across the network to our PC application.

BSCS, BSEE or higher required. Applicants should have at least 8 years
of communications software/hardware experience, including X.25, Frame
Relay, Ethernet, Appletalk, and UNIX experience.
