    Third Eye Software has an immediate need for a person to help
    with the continuing development, maintenance, and support of the
    Elexir Information Retrieval System.

    Elexir is a multi-client/multi-server information retrieval system
    supporting both traditional keyword/Boolean queries and content
    similarity queries.  Elexir servers currently run on Sun 4's,
    DECsystems, HP 9000s and the MasPar MP-1 (a massively parallel
    environment).

    
    The following position is available:

	User Interface Development + Support:  This dual-job position
	requires (1) the ability/willingness to help (politely)
	end-users of Elexir and (2) demonstrated abilities using X
	Windows (Motif is a plus) and/or MS Windows as part of a
	finished, significant project or product.  Duties will include
	customer support, bug tracking/fixing, file-viewer development,
	application development, porting to different environments.

    We are looking for an exceptional person with abilities that go beyond
    simple programming.  In addition to all facets of programming,
    this position will entail writing documentation, working with
    customers, and testing.

    Required attributes include:

	* Strong C language skills.
	* Good debugging skills.
	* Good written and verbal communication skills.
	* Excellent learning curve.
	* Reasonable knowledge of UNIX at both the shell and syscall levels.
	* Enthusiasm!
	* Ability to *finish* the job.
	* Willingness to work with a coding standard (~= Hungarian).

    Skills in the following areas are plusses (but do not eliminate any
    any of the basic requirements):

	* PERL
	* PostScript
	* RDBMSs or text retrieval systems.
	* Persistent object management.
	* Knowledge extraction and representation.
	* Computational linguistics and natural language processing.
	* Technical writing skills.
	* Working with programs > 30,000 lines.
	* Other O/S's (VMS, MS-DOS/MSW 3.X, etc.)

    Although the person we are looking for *probably* has 2+ years of
    professional programming experience, we are willing to talk to
    recent graduates who have excellent programming skills.  We regret
    that at this time, Third Eye is unable to assist persons requiring
    help in attaining H-1 or F-1 visas.

    Salary is commensurate with skills and experience.  

    These positions also offers:

	* An aesthetic work environment in Menlo Park.
	* Reasonably flexible working hours.
	* Medical insurance.
	* Exposure to a variety of systems.
	* Real world experience with real world customers.
	* The opportunity to take on a variety of challenges and
	    responsibilities.

    Third Eye Software is a small company that has been in business
    since 1983.  We have customers world-wide.
