- 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,

- 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.

- Management Systems, Relational Database Systems, Object Oriented File
- Systems, and the like.
