Job Description:    

The DataRush (http://www.pervasivedatarush.com) team at Pervasive is seeking a development manager to take on the day to day operations of the software development team.  This team is fast paced, highly technical and growing.  As the team grows and continues to build more applications on top of the core DataRush platform, development management help is required to ensure optimal execution and success. 

The preferred candidate will have direct experience building large, successful products.  Experience with management of the full software lifecycle is a requirement.  Since the team is small and highly technical, the candidate must have the requisite technical skills enabling decision making and participation in software architecture and design.  Experience in the area of parallel and /or distributed systems is an advantage.
