Dear Haskellers and Camlers
I'm posting this job ad on behalf of Richard Brooksby at Ravenbrook. They=
do cool stuff, and I thought some of you might be interested.
Simon
Ravenbrook is seeking a developer to work with us on the Memory Pool System=
(MPS), a mature, open source, high reliability, high performance memory ma=
nagement system with a unique and innovative architecture. You can read an=
overview here <http://www.ravenbrook.com/project/mps/doc/2002-01-30/ismm20=
02-paper/ismm2002.html>. The MPS is a highly engineered "Swiss watch" of a=
system with an extremely low bug rate.
We're looking for someone who can support our commercial clients with custo=
misations, but also develop the MPS for new opportunities. It could be a h=
alf-time position (or subcontract), paying about =A335k pro rata. This cou=
ld grow if you are successful in developing new commercial opportunities fo=
r the MPS. We have several other options for work structure and payment th=
at we can discuss with you. There can be a great deal of flexibility and a=
higher rate of pay depending on what kind of risk/reward tradeoff you need=
. Ask!
This is an excellent opportunity for someone interested in memory managemen=
t and garbage collection research. We are keen to promote research, and th=
e flexible nature of this work would allow time for it. It's also an excel=
lent opportunity for someone interested in developing commercial applicatio=
ns for memory management and garbage collection.
There would also be an opportunity to get involved with our other consultin=
g work, or even video game development.

tionships

Also very useful:
