	Radian Corporation has multiple openings in Austin, Texas for
experienced database designers.  (I am talking about application design
including logical, conceptual and physical schema design - NOT the design
of DBMS software.)

	Radian is a multidiscplinary technical services company with
emphases on environmental and engineering applications.  Our Computer
Applications Department has groups specializing in database management,
computer mapping, expert systems, physical modeling [i.e. modelling
physical phenomena such as atmospheric dispersion], and hardware interfaces
[e.g. to special purpose hardware or instrumentation].  The typical project
involves providing the client with an integrated solution involving some or
all of these computer disciplines as well as in-house expertise in the
relavent engineering/scientific discipline (Chemical Engineering, Environ-
mental Engineering, Atmospheric Science, Geology, Mechanical Engineering, 
Chemistry, etc.).

	Requirements for current openings include:

	o	BSCS or equivalent (no I'm not sure what 'equivalent' is,
		but if you think you are equivalent and you meet the rest
		of the requirements, send me a resume)
	o	FIVE or more years of experience in database application
		system design and development.
	o	Experience in technical project management.
	o	Facility with more than one DBMS and at LEAST one 3rd
		generation language in a database management context.

<CONTINUED>




	Any and all of the following would improve your chances:

	o	Education and/or experience in a hard science or engineering
		discipline.
	o	Familiarity with UNIX/C/Sun OS [the most common environment
		at Radian.]
	o	Familiarity with VAX/VMS (& uVax)
	o	Experience with SQL-based relational DBMS under Unix
		[E.g. Empress/32 or Oracle, both of which we are now using]
	o	Experience with PC-DOS based network database applications.
	o	Familiarity with ADABAS & NATURAL in an IBM/MVS environment
		[Yes, not all of our clients have seen the light and ditched
		big blue for Unix :-)]
<CONTINUED>





	The successful candidate will be a self-starter who has both excellent
technical capabilities and the communications skills / interpersonal skills
to function within an interdisciplinary matrix-management organization.  The
positions will involve technical contributions, project management, client
interaction, and marketing support (in the form of assistance in proposal
preparation and/or technical presentations to prospective clients).  The
career path is open and includes a 'technical guru' ladder (technical
contributions PLUS technical project management), a staff management ladder
(staffing and training responsibilities plus some technical contribution &
project management), and a marketing ladder (NOT MBA types; technical folks
who represent our capabilities to clients and the clients needs [== market
demand] to the staff management; also involves traditional marketing functions
such as closing the deal and managing the project from an administrative
point of view.)  We are looking for someone with good ideas who can 
immediately assume significant responsibilities as well as contribute to
the long-range direction of the department.
