AUSTIN, Texas, June 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Pervasive Software(R) Inc. , a global value leader in data infrastructure software, today announced Austin hiring plans in its software development and technical support groups.
With an Austin history stretching back more than 20 years, Pervasive has a longstanding commitment to the local community. The 2003 acquisition of Austin-based Data Junction, which also dates back more than 20 years, expanded the Pervasive product family beyond embedded database to include a breadth of data integration and migration software. The company's innovative products and commitment to Austin paint a compelling picture for prospective employees.
The company plans to hire as many as 20 technical employees in Austin over the next several months. The consolidation in Austin of software development, quality engineering and technical support for the full integration product suite is driving much of the local employee growth. Interested candidates should visit Pervasive's website at http://www.pervasive.com/company/careers/ for a complete listing of all presently open positions and the process for submitting resumes.
"We are consolidating technical operations for our integration product line in Austin and closing our Bangalore-based subsidiary this month while still maintaining an India presence through our long-time development partner, Aztec Software," said John Farr, Pervasive's president and CEO. "The potential cost savings of an off-shore development operation can be mathematically compelling; however, we have found that the complexity of managing such an operation and the increasing costs of labor, employee turnover, training, and facilities in a hot market such as Bangalore make it challenging to ultimately realize those savings. We value the unique blend of technical sophistication and innovative spirit here in Austin and believe the technical talent we require resides here locally."
"Pervasive offers technologists a compelling opportunity to work on technically challenging and rewarding projects, including products that deliver integration with a range of current applications and standards as well as products that leverage high-performance computing platforms and an Eclipse- based development environment," said Chip Harmon, general manager of Integration Products for Pervasive.
