RE: Open job positions

For Immediate Release

Product Development Manager - Document Engine & Stylist

The Document Engine is Archetype's hot new product for the NeXT
machine.  The Document Engine provides a framework for third-party
developers to rapidly create powerful publishing applications (ie.
page layout, word processing, form packages).  The DE is being
developed on the NeXT machine, and is designed to be ported to other
popular platforms, including Windows and Macintosh.  Stylist is
Archetype's high-powered page layout application, which is being
built on the Document Engine.

Archetype is looking for a talented individual to join our team to
provide product management for both the Document Engine and Stylist
projects.

The Product Manager for Document Engine and Stylist projects will be
a team leader accountable to the Executive VP of Engineering for the
development and quality of all aspects of the Archetype Document
Engine and the Stylist page layout program for the NeXT.

The Product Manager will ensure the creation of high-quality,
innovative, useful and productive end-user products that fulfill the
needs of our customers.

The Product Manager will be accountable for the engineering, quality
assurance, documentation, and shipping of both products.  The Product
Manager will work closely with the Engineering team to develop goals
and workable schedules from the desired feature list.

The Document Engine and Stylist projects are innovative, and on
aggressive time schedules.  The Product Manager will coordinate
engineering, quality assurance and documentation resources to ensure
that the goals of the projects are met on time.  The Product Manager
will work with the team to produce results.

The Product Manager will be accountable for administering and
coordinating beta programs for both the Document Engine and Stylist,
handle customer inquiries, comments and criticisms, and return
valuable customer feedback into the design of the projects.

The Product Manager must be technical and well-grounded in
development techniques, but will not be directly involved with the
code itself.

Requisite experience:  Managed projects that have successfully
launched a shrink-wrap application.  At least 3 years experience with
production of shrink-wrap software.  Excellent organizational and
managerial skills.  A proven result producer in the area of software
development.  Experience with the Publishing Industry a plus.
