PERPETUAL ENTERTAINMENT
www.perpetual.com
San Francisco

We are looking for a sharp individual with good Production DB
administration experience who wants to become a member of a growing
community of PostgreSQL users and architects. Perpetual is taking it to
the next level, Massive Online Gaming!

Perpetual Entertainment is an innovative, San Francisco-based developer,
publisher, and operator of networked, multiplayer, and massively
multiplayer online games (MMOGs). Founded and staffed by industry
veterans dedicated to the vision that playing games together is simply
more fun, more challenging, and more rewarding than simply playing
alone.

Perpetual Entertainment is realizing this vision with two AAA titles,
Gods & Heroes: Rome Rising and Star Trek Online. Both games utilize the
Perpetual Entertainment Platform, another core product and the answer to
the traditional struggles of developing massively multiplayer online
games. The Platform allows game developers to focus on their game's
potential rather than its technology.

Perpetual has partnered with EnterpriseDB, a provider of an optimized
and enhanced PostgreSQL. Full training will be provided. See
www.enterprisedb.com for more information.
