PROGRAMMERS shape the future of a new technologyIBM programmers, with professional associates in research, development, and manufacturing, are contributing expert knowledge and ideas in the creation of future computing systems.This teamwork represents a striking advance in the role of the programmer and dramatizes the important part being played by this young but rapidly growing profession.At IBM, programmers are creating new concepts in software and contributing to the design of new systems for virtually every phase of business, science, and industry.IBM progammers at all levels are establishing newstandardsof achievement in designingprogramsto simulate businessandindustrialoperations.They are developing systems for government projects in space, defense, and communications, wheretheirdataprocessingskills will help produce significant advances in tomorrow's computer technology.They are also studying the complex programs for...information-handling systems...scheduling methodology ... information-retrieval studies.IBM programmers also face challenging tasks in developing new programming systems.For example, they are devising programs that in turn use machine capability for formulating new programs.They are creating programs that enable computers to diagnose their own faults through self-checking.And they are working on systems that will let scientists and engineers "talk" to machines in the everyday language of science and engineering.Programmers at IBM take pride in their professional status and enjoy the unusual opportunities offered by a leader of the computer industry.In an atmosphere so receptive to new ideas, their concepts flourish with IBM'S full resources.Theycancontributesignificantaccomplishments, recognized throughout the field.Openings for programmers exist throughout the U.S. IBM is an Equal Opportunity Employer.If you have experience in computer programming and would like to have more information about careers with IBM, we'd like to hear from you.
