Looking for Interop PM

In WCF (Indigo) we are taking interop seriously. Given the scale of Indigo, the WS-* architecture and future plans, there is work to do. I am looking for an energetic strong technical program manager passionated about distributed systems, web services and interoperability to help me on this endeavour. If you are it, you're welcome to drop me a note at kirillg_public@hotmail.com (or my ms alias), while we're waiting for the job description to propagate to members.microsoft.com/careers .

Job ad is pasted here:

The Windows Communication Foundation (WCF, aka “Indigo”) is Microsoft’s next generation distributed application platform.  Join the Indigo team and make cross platform interoperability a reality for WCF. Enterprise solutions are never based on one platform. As illustrated by the "Building Software That Is Interoperable By Design" mail from Bill Gates and with almost every distributed platform feature decision we are betting success of our enterprise business on interoperability.

You will engage with product teams from our industry partners driving interoperability between our respective platforms. You will be involved in analyzing and addressing customer requirements in the product, working on tools that help diagnose interoperability issues as well as improve interoperability experience for enterprise developers. This effort will affect the WCF programming model, and will focus on ensuring that developers are productive building interoperable Enterprise-grade distributed applications.  This is a highly challenging technical position with a great deal of interaction with architecture, development, and test teams as well as a significant percentage of coding required implementing the tools. 

This position requires strong design skills, excellent communication skills (you will interact frequently with internal/external customers) and the ability to make the right feature tradeoffs.  A passion for SOAP interoperability across vendor stacks and a solid software development or/and computer science background are required. Familiarity with Microsoft .NET technologies (such as C#, .NET Framework and the CLR) and/or competitive offerings (Java, J2EE, WebLogic or WebSphere) is a strong plus.
