                     Objective C, NeXT, Database Guru
     San Francisco Bay Area & Los Angeles Area Consulting & Contracting
                           Revised  Nov-16-1992

Company Background
------- ----------
Dolphin Software Inc. is a high-technology consulting and contracting firm  
located in the Bay Area with immediate plans to expand into the southern  
California area.  We are now seeking employees and consultants to facilitate  
our expansion into several new contracting fields.

The company specializes in NeXTSTEP custom application development,  
particularly of Information Management Systems.  Our current market includes  
both the custom application arena as well as possible expansion into the  
shrink-wrapped software market in the longer term.

Part of the Dolphin Software work ethic is an informal, friendly atmosphere  
in which such activities as "work-at-home" and telecommuting are common.  Our  
emphasis is on developing an organization of highly talented computer  
professionals with the ability to build a leading firm, and the desire to  
explore new frontiers of computer science and the work environment.

Career Growth
------ ------
The opportunity to be involved in upwardly visible projects are ever present.   
Contracting and consulting in challenging and prominent positions is a must  
with Dolphin Software.  We continue to pursue mission critical development  
from which all of our employees and principals will learn and expand their  
abilities, as well as establish an impressive success record.

Job Description
--- -----------
All Dolphin Software employees must demonstrate a wide range of skills.  We  
have no illusions about trying to fit everyone into a specially designed  
slot, but rather work to expand the experience and skill of each person in  
the company.

Our current needs are for dynamic individuals able to take a project in its  
entirety.  A significant commitment to off-site consulting and travel must be  
available for our consultants.  Our Bay Area and southern California  
employees can look forward to challenging in-house development, spending  
limited amounts of time at client sites.  Opportunities for high compensation  
in return for dedicated work "over and above" the commonplace position exist.

Required Skills
-------- ------
1. At least 1+ years of NeXTSTEP development, either professionally or on a
   "personal" basis.  An understanding of the NeXT and Mach environments, 
   with complete skills in the use of Interface Builder and the NeXTSTEP API 
   are needed.  Most importantly, a strong commitment to NeXT and an even 
   stronger desire to work with the NeXTSTEP platform.

2. More than 2+ years of development using Objective C or C++, and a very
   thorough understanding of Object Oriented Design and Object Oriented
   Programming principles.  Expert knowledge of constructors and destructors,
   operator and function overloading, virtual functions, polymorphism, static
   members and similar concepts required (as apply to C++); also, dynamic
   binding, messaging, methods, classes, categories, remote messaging and
   protocols (as apply to Objective C) is excellent.

3. More than 2+ years development in the UNIX workstation environment, with
   work in IPC, multiprocessing and multithreading a plus.  Abilities in
   system administration and networking also a strong plus.

4. Dynamic personality and ability to present yourself well at the client
   site.  Ability and willingness to travel to varying degrees, depending on 
   your position within the company.

5. Capable and willing to put forth an extra effort when required.

6. B. S. degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or other technical
   discipline, or a comparable level of experience gained from within the
   programming field.

Beneficial Skills
---------- ------
1. Strong background in information management technologies, such as Document
   Management Systems, Relational Database Systems, Object Oriented File
   Systems, and the like.

2. Thorough understanding of specific database languages and systems, such as
   SQL, Sybase and Oracle.  Object oriented database experience is excellent.

3. Experience with X/Windows, Motif, MS-Windows or Macintosh programming.

4. Advanced degree in the computer science field.
