6. HIRING: Mac OS X Software Engineers Sought
Mark/Space, Inc. is seeking qualified Macintosh software engineers
with experience with Cocoa, BSD subsystem, user interface, and
other aspects of Mac OS X. Familiarity with USB would be helpful, but
is not required. Most development is in user space and will not require
kernel development experience. Currently these positions could be full
time and may last several months, or could be salaried for the right
candidate.
If you are interested or know someone interested, please contact
Scott Gruby, sgruby at markspace.com. Please send a list of projects you
have worked on as well as URLs of samples, if the samples are online.
