================================================================  

The LINGUIST List strongly encourages employers to use
non-discriminatory standards in hiring policy. In particular we urge
that employers do not discriminate on the grounds of race, ethnicity,
nationality, age, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. However, we
have no means of enforcing these standards.

Job seekers should pay special attention to language in ads regarding
employment requirements and are encouraged to consult our international
employment page http://linguistlist.org/jobs/jobnet.html. This page has been set 
up so that people can report on the employment standards of various countries.

Description:

We are seeking to build a US development staff for our growing,
NLP-oriented company. We hold patented intellectual property in automatic
text analysis and other NLP-related disciplines. We have built a successful
business in Europe, and are expanding our operations into the USA. The team
is in the process of creating an exciting, new software product to enter a
new line of business. As a company, we are committed to bringing NLP out of
the lab and into the marketplace.

We will fill a number of development positions, starting with experienced
C++ developers with credentials in computational linguistics. Ideal
candidates will have as many as possible of the following qualifications:

- A minimum of 5 years professional experience developing applications in
C++ is a must
- Experience with Linux is a plus
- A degree in computational linguistics with some concentration in computer
science

- Experience in statistical analysis and machine learning
- Proven ability to design, create and maintain highly efficient, elegant
C++ code in support of NLP-related applications
- A team-oriented work style
- Evidence of solid methodological foundations in the development of
applications
- A deep passion both for computational linguistics and application development
- Ability and desire to hit the ground running on new projects and
responsibilities: self-starters are preferred

If this sounds like you, please consider contacting us. Our US office has
just been opened in Annapolis, MD. We will initially hire on a contractor
basis as we establish our US footprint. Full-time employment will then be
offered.

Preference will be extended to those available to start working
immediately. We are entering a critical phase of a major project, and
momentum must be maintained.

This is an opportunity to participate in an exciting, definitely-for-profit
enterprise with solid investment backing, strong, creative leadership and
great prospects for a rewarding and lucrative career. Travel opportunities
will be available for those interested. Compensation will be competitive,
