opportunity to help define what that next phase of search will look
like. We are looking for driven individuals that have experience of
software engineering in algorithmic search.

We discuss the C programming language here. There are a number of
newsgroups with the word "jobs" in their names, where your posting
would probably be welcome. This is not one of them.
