[Pdx-pm] [JOB] Web Application Developer and Interactive Developer at Second Story

[David Brewer]

Hi everyone -- I'd like to pass these two job listings from Second
Story Interactive (where I work) on to the list.  Disclaimer: they're
not specifically Perl positions.  We tend to end up using a variety of
languages because our server-side environment is sometimes determined
by the client, so we like polyglots.

If you know anyone else who might be interested, please pass it on to
them.  Thanks!

David Brewer
