> JOB SUMMARY
>
> This engineer will be part of the GemStone/S engineering team in Beaverton,
> Oregon, and will focus on product testing. Since most of the tests are
> automated, the work primarily involves writing and debugging Smalltalk
> code.
>
> PRODUCT AND TEAM
>
> GemStone/S was introduced at the first OOPSLA in 1986. Since then it has
> earned a reputation in the Smalltalk programming community as being the
> premier object database and application server. GemStone/S allows thousands
> of Smalltalk virtual machines on hundreds of hosts (with various operating
> systems) to share a single image (or database) with billions of objects
> taking up terabytes of space. The database provides full ACID capabilities
> (atomicity, consistency, isolation, and durability), has extensive indexing
> and large collection support, and includes a number of sophisticated
> garbage collection algorithms. The Smalltalk virtual machine has a JIT
> compiler on several platforms and supports a shared object cache
> effectively limited only by the amount of memory available in the machine.
>
> GemStone/S has an add-on product, Gem Builder for Smalltalk (GBS), which
> supports transparent object replication for VA Smalltalk and VisualWorks.
> Other add-on products provide an interface to Java and Oracle. GemStone
> recently announced support for Seaside (a Smalltalk web application
> framework) and availability of a 4 GB edition that is free--even for
> commercial use.
>
> The GemStone/S team consists of about 10-12 people. This group has a very
> low turnover and includes a number of senior-level engineers who have
> decades of experience in areas such as VM architecture, database internals,
> application development, and consulting. Team members regularly present at
> industry conferences such as Smalltalk Solutions and OOPSLA.
>
> ESSENTIAL JOB FUNCTIONS
>
> *       Design and develop complex functional, performance,
>         and scalability tests and test frameworks.
> *       Run tests, analyze results, and work with other
>         engineers to identify and resolve issues.
> *       Be self-directed, assertive, and able to concurrently
>         work on multiple tasks.
> *       Have a commitment to software quality and performance.
> *       Adhere to company coding guidelines.
>
> KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, ABILITIES AND EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS
>
> *       BS Computer Science or equivalent, including understanding of:
>         o       Database record/object locking, transactions, backup &
> restore;
>         o       Multi-user concurrency;
>         o       Multi-threaded applications;
>         o       Network communications; and
>         o       Software engineering principles and methodologies.
> *       Moderate experience (e.g., 3+ years) in:
>         o       Developing large client/server database applications;
>         o       Testing, including performance and scalability testing;
>         o       Developing test frameworks and tools; and
>         o       Smalltalk and object-oriented programming.
> *       Experience (e.g., 1+ years) in:
>         o       Unix/Linux shell programming;
>         o       Source code management tools;
>         o       C/C++ programming; and
>         o       Perl programming.
