The financial arrangement can be Curriculum Practical Training (CPT) or involve payment as an Independent Contractor. Non-U.S. citizens can only work on CPT, and only if they have been in their program for 12 months. Pay rate is $30-40 per hour depending on experience and qualifications.

Desired Skill Set:

Strong programming skills, particularly C#.Net (2.0)

Good understanding of XML and XML parsing, experience with Database and Web server administration.

Experience with SQL Server 2005 is desirable.

Prior work experience with C#.Net, XML and SQL Server is a plus, as is design documentation knowledge (i.e. UML, ER).
