Here’s the IronPython PM description, unfortunately I have no
descriptions for the F# jobs right now.
The Visual Studio languages team is looking for a Senior Program Manager
(Sr. PM) to own our IronPython implementation on
www.codeplex.com/ironpythonhttp://www.codeplex.com/ironpython.
IronPython is an exciting new open source implementation of the Python
programming language running on .NET. It was a 2007 Jolt award finalist
http://www.joltawards.com/2007/. It supports an interactive console with
fully dynamic compilation. It is well integrated with the rest of the
.NET Framework and makes all .NET libraries easily available to Python
programmers, while maintaining full compatibility with the Python
language.
The Sr. PM would be responsible for the vision, planning, strategy and
execution of our project. You will work closely with the architect,
developers and testers and the community to ensure the right product is
getting built. In addition you will be our primary customer voice,
evangelist/public speaker for IronPython in addition to being the
liaison for rest of the languages team, marketing, legal and other
internal and external partners.
Requirements for this position include a bachelors degree in a technical
field such as computer science or electrical engineering (Masters
preferred), deep experience in using Python and several dynamic
languages is required (and having implemented one is preferred).
