[Help-glpk] Seeking to hire a person with AMPL/GMPL experience

[Meketon, Marc]

Hi - I hope you guys do not think that I'm abusing the "help-glpk" list.  My company just posted an advertisement in the INFORMS job placement service to hire a person that understands OR and software development.  Someone that enjoys working on a variety of "real world" problems, some of which are OR, some of which are strictly software development.  The ideal person has a variety of tools at their disposal, include AMPL/GMPL, R, SQL queries, several software languages.  English fluency is a must, speaking a couple of languages is another plus (German, Russian, French, etc.) but not necessary.

 

Having followed this list for several years, I know that many of the people that regularly contribute have these qualifications, so I thought that some of you might be interested.

 

The entire posting is below.  If interested, please contact me directly (address@hidden).
