Cincom is looking for an engineer to work in the ChannelStream project;  details are here.  The location is the Cincom site at Maidenhead just west of London, UK.  Others in the ChannelStream team are on the continent so remote pair-programming and periodic travel may be involved.  ChannelStream has a Seaside-powered web interface.  It manages complex problems of corporate document distribution.

With the departure of Alan Knight, the Smalltalk team here at Cincom will need a new manager. Working at Cincom can be quite rewarding, and our Smalltalk tools are among the most important products at the company.

This time around we are looking outside Cincom, and if you have experience with managing a distributed technical team and interacting with a diverse customer base, then you might be a good candidate for the postion.

Yes, balancing the needs of the customers with our geeky need to “get it right”, might seem like herding cats at times, but you will have the opportunity to work with one of the best teams in the industry, and work at a great company. In addition, you would be in a position to help us maintain our leadership in the Smalltalk community, and set the course for the future of Cincom’s Smalltalks.
