----- Unofficial Job Information -----

This is a role on a small, friendly enterprise support team.  The
organization is a hybrid of publishing and tech as well as academia and
business.  Mostly it functions like a small software company, but there are
a bunch of writers wandering around making the rest of us look
unfashionable.

The role is not strictly sales engineering.  Yes, there is some of that.
There is also SSO and data feed work, security conversations, a bit of
project management, a bit of enterprise support.

If you are currently working in library systems and you've done some
project management, if you've ever helped data go from one system to
another, and if you know how to be nice to people who are less (and more)
technical -- you might be the right person for our team!

Alternatively if you are a tech who has strong people skills and you are
ready to get out of the basement, you might also be the right person for
our team.

Code is helpful (when is code not helpful) but not required.

Good benefits, good work/life balance, good manager, 3 weeks vacation,
bonus, no travel. Hiring timeline is business standard (not academic).
