[job] Programmer Position in Berkeley

Hi sfpug,

This may be a little off topic for a database list, but we're hiring a
programmer and I like working with people that know databases. The
DBA-type responsibilities will be pretty limited, but in the
relatively near future it should give an opportunity to do some paid
open source hacking on Postgres.
