Subject: [IronPython] Our team is growing!

Hi everyone! I just wanted to let you know that our team is growing and  
we’re looking to hire some new people to work on IronPython, IronRuby,  
and F#. We have 6 new positions we’re trying to fill.

IronPython developer position:  
[http://members.microsoft.com/careers/search/details.aspx?JobID=8BEEE2C2-A95D-41C6-9075-CF6347EE07F1](http://members.microsoft.com/careers/search/details.aspx?JobID=8BEEE2C2-A95D-41C6-9075-CF6347EE07F1)  
IronRuby developer position:  
[http://members.microsoft.com/careers/search/details.aspx?JobID=7C2E33E8-5A9C-44F3-A1CE-DA2D66DC3C8B](http://members.microsoft.com/careers/search/details.aspx?JobID=7C2E33E8-5A9C-44F3-A1CE-DA2D66DC3C8B)  
IronRuby QA position:  
[http://members.microsoft.com/careers/search/details.aspx?JobID=FF36A073-D1E8-49A9-B942-AFA4AB2B437E](http://members.microsoft.com/careers/search/details.aspx?JobID=FF36A073-D1E8-49A9-B942-AFA4AB2B437E)

We also have positions open for doing F# development, F# QA as well as  
an IronPython Program Manager position - unfortunately there’s no  
website entry for those just yet.

Here’s the IronPython PM description, unfortunately I have no  
descriptions for the F# jobs right now.

The Visual Studio languages team is looking for a Senior Program Manager  
(Sr. PM) to own our IronPython implementation on  
[www.codeplex.com/ironpython](http://www.codeplex.com/ironpython)[http://www.codeplex.com/ironpython](http://www.codeplex.com/ironpython).  
IronPython is an exciting new open source implementation of the Python  
programming language running on .NET. It was a 2007 Jolt award finalist  
[http://www.joltawards.com/2007/](http://www.joltawards.com/2007/). It supports an interactive console with  
fully dynamic compilation. It is well integrated with the rest of the  
.NET Framework and makes all .NET libraries easily available to Python  
programmers, while maintaining full compatibility with the Python  
language.

The Sr. PM would be responsible for the vision, planning, strategy and  
execution of our project. You will work closely with the architect,  
developers and testers and the community to ensure the right product is  
getting built. In addition you will be our primary customer voice,  
evangelist/public speaker for IronPython in addition to being the  
liaison for rest of the languages team, marketing, legal and other  
internal and external partners.

Requirements for this position include a bachelors degree in a technical  
field such as computer science or electrical engineering (Masters  
preferred), deep experience in using Python and several dynamic  
languages is required (and having implemented one is preferred).
