Geek-ish job here in Cambridge

Any of you know someone who'd like a temporary full time job (now 'til March-ish, probably) here at ITA, a mix of running QA tests and analyzing logs and scripting/programming to help with these tasks, on airline software? We got some funding to hire someone to help with this stuff for a few months, and plan to get them started within a week, so we're gonna pick someone pretty quickly. Since this person is gonna be in a position to help me out with some scripts for my job, I'd love someone who can do perl, though that's not a requirement.

This isn't as high level a job as we were hiring for last year, since it's temporary and part QA / part QA support with some programming. Depending on the person we get, we'll use them a bit differently based on their skills, so someone with stronger programming or sysadmin type skills will get more of those kinds of tasks. Someone who's just graduated college could be good, as could a more experienced person who's unemployed and needs some income for a while (and if they're very good, this would put them in a good place for getting a regular job here next year).

Since we're gonna pick someone quickly, if you or anyone you know may be interested, get me a resume today (though if you don't get around to it 'til early next week that probably won't be too late).

I know that [livejournal.com profile] xela is looking pretty aggressively; perhaps check with him?

Actually, I'm on the market right now, in a "trying to figure out what I want to do next" phase, so a short-term job might be just the thing while I figure that out. I have a pretty good deal of programming experience, though my Perl is a bit rusty; my quick and dirty scripting language of choice is Ruby.

Here is my resume on Stack Overflow Careers and LinkedIn. I can send you a nicely formatted PDF if you'd prefer, I just need to update that version a bit, so let me know if you would prefer that. You should be able to find my contact information on my profile here or on Facebook; I'm pretty sure it's all visible to friends.

Oops, that's because I meant [livejournal.com profile] yakshaver; sorry!

I sent my roommate's resume to your @livejournal.com address. Did it get through OK?

Just nudged a friend about it. Good luck in the search!

And I thank you for the nudge, though such a job seems an awkward match for my intentions of spending most of December in Chile.

You have no idea how much I want to send you a resume and then find an excuse to spend a few months in Boston...
