JOB ANNOUNCEMENT: FrameMaker QA, Dev

[Lee Richardson <lhr@xxxxxxxxx>]

We have job openings in FrameMaker Engineering for QA engineers, software developers, and a Development Mgr (my former job; I've been promoted to Engineering Mgr). All jobs require a technical degree or equivalent; given that some of our best QA staff have been former FrameMaker users, extensive experience as a user, trainer, or FDK developer can easily count as an equivalent.

If you're interested, or know of someone that might be, please email your resume: mailto:lhr@adobe.com. You can also fax a copy: 408-537-5113.

All jobs are in the Adobe offices in the heart of downtown San Jose, CA. Relocation assistance is available. 

Thanks.

...Lee
