Oferta de trabajo en Zaragoza

Oferta de trabajo:
------------------
[Descripcion de Iritec]
Iritec es una empresa de desarrollo de software ubicada en Zaragoza, con un tamaño aproximado de unas 150 personas. Se esta empezando a
crear un departamento de I+D para trabajar en aquellos proyectos / desarrollos que necesiten una mayor capacidad técnica por lo que
estamos buscando gente que pueda encajar en este nuevo departamento.

[Descripcion del puesto]
Buscamos una persona independiente (que pueda ejecutar una idea de principio a fin) a la que le guste programar y desee desarrollar su
carrera profesional en un ámbito exclusivamente técnico. La persona seleccionada sera responsable de ayudar al resto de equipos de desarrollo
de la empresa a encontrar la mejor solución posible a los problemas que se pudieran presentar en los diferentes proyectos y el desarrollo
de los proyectos de I+D que puedan surgir.

Aunque trabajamos principalmente con entornos Java y .NET, buscamos a alguien que se encuentre cómodo cambiando de lenguajes y tecnologías
rápidamente y al que no le importe estar trabajando en varios proyectos simultaneamente.

Trabajaras en un equipo pequeño (2 o 3 personas en un principio) de gente a la que le gusta la tecnología, y en el que tendras libertad
para trabajar de la forma en la que te encuentres mas cómodo. Aunque no se requiere un mínimo de experiencia en ninguna tecnología, a modo
orientativo, se puede decir que el puesto de trabajo equivaldría al de arquitecto o similar.

Responsabilidades:
Ayudar al resto de grupos de desarrollo con los problemas que les pudieran surgir.
Desarrollar los proyectos de I+D que puedan surgir en la empresa.
Creacion de nuevos productos a partir de desarrollos existentes.
Pensar en nuevos productos, servicios y nuevas funcionalidades a añadir a proyectos existentes.

[Aptitudes preferibles]
- Se siente comodo usando tanto Windows como sistemas de tipo UNIX (Linux, OSX, ...)
- Ha escrito alguna aplicacion de iPhone, Android o Windows Mobile que nos podamos descargar al movil.
- Contribuye en proyectos Open Source en su tiempo libre
- Conoce más de un lenguaje de programación y no le cuesta aprender nuevos.

[Problemas a resolver]
Para ayudar a demostrar la valía de los candidatos, esperamos que resuelvas uno de los siguientes problemas. Se pueden resolver usando el
lenguaje de programación que se desee y de la forma que se considere mas adecuada. El objectivo de estos ejercicios no es revolver los problemas
en si mismo (se pueden encontrar facilmente las soluciones en Internet) sino explicar durante la entrevista personal la solución
adoptada a la persona que se encargue de la entrevista (puntos extra si se desarrollan varias soluciones y se explican los pros y contras de
cada una). Si alguna cosa no queda clara en el enunciado del problema, adjuntar un comentario al programa que explique las suposiciones
adoptadas.

(1) Escribir un programa de consola que lea una lista de palabras bastante grande a memoria y que despues lea palabras erroneas desde la
entrada estandar y escriba una lista de sugerencias o "NO HAY SUGERENCIAS" si no ha encontrado ninguna. El programa debe escribir un prompt
antes de pedir una palabra y debe seguir hasta que se le pare explicitamente.

Ejemplos:
> peerro
perro
> pruoba
prueba
> asdf
NO HAY SUGERENCIAS
> perro
PALABRA ENCONTRADA EN EL DICCIONARIO

La lista de errores a corregir es la siguiente:

Errores de mayusculas minusculas: "dENtro" => "dentro"
Letras repetidas: "aallggoo" => "job"
Vocales incorrectas: "alge" => "algo"
Cualquier combinación de los tipos de errores anteriores ("CunsPiracien" => "conspiracion")

(2) Escribir un programa que dada una expresion aritmética infija escriba lo mismo con la notación prefija.

Ejemplos:
3 => 3
1 + 1 => (+ 1 1)
2 * 5 + 1 => (+ 1 (* 2 5))
2 * ( 5 + 1 ) => (* (+ 1 5) 2)
32 * x + ( 9 + y ) / 4 => (+ (* 32 x) (/ (+ 9 y) 4))

El formato de la entrada se restringira de la siguiente forma:
Todos los valores seran o un solo caracter o enteros positivos. Todos los operadores incluyendo los parentesis estan separados por un espacio
de otros valores u operadores.

El programa se debe hacer funcionar desde la linea de comandos como:

prefijador NOMBRE_DE_ARCHIVO

el NOMBRE_DE_ARCHIVO es el nombre de un archivo que contiene una y solo una expresión.

Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Computer Science and Engineering

The Interactive Systems Research Group in the Department of Computer
Science and Engineering and the Play:CES studio in the Faculty of
Education at York University, Toronto, Ontario are seeking applicants
for a Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Computer Science and Engineering,
beginning as soon as February 1, 2010 and ending April 1, 2011.

The applicant will join an interdisciplinary team of researchers led by
Dr. Jen Jenson, Faculty of Education at York University and will be
co-supervised by Dr. Jenson and Dr. Wolfgang Stuerzlinger. In the
collaborative project, the applicant will participate in a major role in
an intensive work for theorizing and implementing innovative software
development projects, relating both to digital game development and
qualitative research. These include, primarily, a multi-media database
for use by researchers, for uploading, synchronizing and analyzing
multiple strands of qualitative and quantitative research data
(including sound, video, text transcripts, and surveys) for a research
project on Massively Multiplayer Online Game (MMOG) players and
communities. Other potential projects include educational game
development for either the iPhone/iPod Touch and/or Flash.

Applicants must have finished or be demonstrably close to finishing a
relevant PhD. Fluency in both written and spoken English is necessary.
The successful applicant should have extensive experience with web
development and on-line database systems. A proven track record that
demonstrates high-quality work is necessary. Familiarity and/or fluency
with some tools for digital game development on hand-held devices or WWW
pages is also desired. Competency with game tool and knowledge
of/enthusiasm for independent, casual, small-scale games and game
development is a bonus.

Please send a brief letter of application, including a curriculum vitae,
and digital portfolio (in PDF format or as WWW links) to Wolfgang
Stuerzlinger . Three reference letters should be
sent independently to the same address. We will begin reviewing
applications immediately.

The Interactive Systems Research Group is a rich community of students,
researchers, and faculty investigating many aspects of Human Computer
Interaction, 3D User Interfaces and Virtual Reality in Toronto. The
group is one of the largest Human-Computer Interaction research groups
in Canada. It is based within the Department of Computer Science and
Engineering, and has established connections with many other disciplines
at York, including the world-renowned Centre for Vision Research, which
also hosts the strongest Virtual Reality research group in Canada. This
forms an ideal environment for young researchers.
http://www.cse.yorku.ca/~isrg

The Play:CES studio in the Faculty of Education has produced over 10
play-based educational software resources. These include “Ethics and
Legal Studies in Education”, an online tutorial for teachers-in-training
to learn the ethical and legal issues facing classroom teachers;
“Contagion”, a health-related adventure game, for which we developed one
of the first isometric game engines for Flash; and, more recently,
“Quest for the Arundo Donax: A Baroque Adventure”, a game commissioned
by the Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra to teach music and culture through
historically-themed rhythm and music mini-games. The studio is also home
to a number of qualitative research projects that explore the
intersections of digital play, education (both formal and informal), and
issues around gender and identity.
