Managing Partner's note on this position:

Please be advised that this is not your typical "staff engineer" position or even "lead engineer" position. While the requirements set forth above are valid, what we are really looking for here is someone with a burning entrepreneurial drive to start a business unit within our existing organization. If you are worried about the details of immediate pay, location, benefits, etc., this job is not for you and we would appreciate it if you would not waste our time. If, however, the ideas of building a business and reaping significant future rewards are what turn you on, and everything else is secondary, then give us a call. If you are hired, you will be supported as you establish this business during these hard economic times by the exceptional engineering and support staff we currently have and the cash flow the company enjoys. If you succeed in the long run, a partnership position will be in the offing. Make no mistake, this position requires a special person with a special desire. We know you are out there somewhere - and we will settle for nothing less.
