- Openness to new ideas -- when you've floated ideas for improvements, they have generally been welcomed, and some are part of our frameworks already!
- Broad range of technologies...

** We have a department of about 8 seriously smart people who just do Python and PL/SQL -- they seem to have a great setup, lots of automated tests, smooth deployment procedures, effective use of branching etc.
** There is another team of 15+ people who do C++ PDA apps and JSP web apps, and a Data Services team doing ETL and stuff -- lots of PL/SQL and Python again.
** We're also getting into PocketPC development, and we have a cross-platform C++ PDA abstraction framework, so we can build to multiple devices from a single codebase.

If you are interested in cutting-edge technologies, if you are serious about software craftsmanship, and if you meet the requirements above we want to hear from you.
