Position available
Bill
The company that my wife works for is looking for some rather specialized software developers and was wondering if any of you (or anyone you know) are interested.
FYI: This is a small company located in Waterloo (by the Volkswagen dealer on Weber in case you care), and most of the staff have PHD's or Master's.
Here are the details:
