Are You Ready For a Most Excellent Adventure? Pentaho Is Hiring!
================================================

The air is thick with grade school (witty, yet unrefined) humor, ideas from far-flung corners being flung far and wide, and slight madness from the dangerous combination of sleep deprivation and adrenaline-high. Welcome to Pentaho Orlando:) Pentaho is not a work environment for the faint of heart and we are proud to say that those who take on the challenge are infinitely happier people for it (if not mentally altered). If you are a talented and motivated J2EE Software Engineer, Services/Support Consultant or IT Engineer that is ready for a career in the fast-moving, groundbreaking open source BI environment, then send your resume to resumes@pentaho.org.

We are looking for the best and the brightest. You are looking for a life changing career. Could be a perfect fit. To learn more about the positions we need to fill, check out http://www.pentaho.org/jobs.
