Dear all
Please accept my apologies for the slightly off-topic nature of this
post, but I wanted to draw your attention to the fact that the BBC
currently has a number of developer positions available for
WebObjects related work.
I shan't just paste the job specs into this email; if you're
interested in them, my contact details are below. Instead I'd rather
tell you a little about the system/team, so you can get a taste of
where WebObjects job fits in around here.
The BBC News (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news) and Sport websites, as well
as a variety of other significant parts of the BBC's new media
output, are produced by a large custom content management system
which we develop entirely in-house. The rendering and publishing
subsystem is all WebObjects-based, mostly WO5.3/Java though with some
WO4/Obj-C still in production. Our WO5/Java systems are packaged as
WARs running under JBoss 4. These applications use EOF to read
content from a large Oracle database. (Most of the content is
authored using a separate, Windows-based desktop application which
writes it into the database.) Software development is on Mac/Windows/
Xcode/Eclipse according to preference.
To give you an idea of the context in which the system works: The BBC
News website alone received approx 200 million page views last week;
the WO publishing system has published approximately 2 million
separate articles to the website so far, all of which remain
accessible to the public and stay live within the system for
potential republishing; the system is used 24/7/365 by many hundreds
of journalists to constantly publish new and updated content.
We have three WO5/Java software engineering/developer positions
available on the team at present (in addition to four existing WO-
related developers). Applicants must be eligible to work in London,
UK where the positions are based. Salaries according to experience.
If you would be interested in finding out more about these positions,
please drop me an email: garrick.mcfarlane [at] mac.com. I'll be at
WWDC of course, and would be happy to meet up for a chat while in SF.
Best wishes
Garrick McFarlane
Technical Lead, Content Production System
BBC News Interactive, London
