Seeking Marble developer for custom software project

Rællic Systems, a small R&D company based in Silicon Valley, is looking for an 
experienced Marble developer to work on a custom software application called 
Infinity Stone.  The program is conceived as a digital globe that will provide 
multipurpose visualization and collaboration for Department of Defense missions 
of the U.S. and allied partners.  Further information on the concept is 
available on the project website and upon request: 
http://www.raellic.com/infinity_stone/

Essentially, the developer would be adding multilevel security (Unclassified, 
Confidential, Secret, Top Secret, TS/SCI, etc.) and cross-domain information 
sharing to Marble as a proprietary extension, while still complying with the 
Marble license.  The target platform is General Dynamics PitBull, which is a 
trusted operating system featuring multilevel security and other features 
relevant to this project.  As an example, PitBull in its desktop embodiment 
allows the user to have multiple windows open at different security levels.  
Infinity Stone will automatically excise information from the lower security 
levels so that uncleared users will see their own, different views of the 
underlying data to the extent they are granted access.  In this way, the 
government can share data at multiple security levels and across domains at 
will (e.g., with local law enforcement and allied partners).  The data sources 
will be mockups of government databases using exclusively unclassified sources 
so that development may proceed freely without bureaucratic interference.  The 
final application must be agnostic to the schema by which the government 
actually stores the information, and/or easily modifiable to pull data from the 
actual databases in use by the government if a contract is awarded.

The project is moving forward on spec following an unofficial expression of 
interest from certain elements of the U.S. Government, which has reportedly 
been trying to procure a system like this for over a decade but has still not 
taken delivery.  The deliverable here is a functioning application suitable for 
demonstrations to interested parties at trade shows and private meetings.

A PitBull development workstation with all required software will be provided 
for the developer's use.  The developer will be collaborating with at least one 
other developer who specializes in web applications.  The development 
workstation must be returned upon completion, or whenever else required by the 
development team, due to the significant expense of acquisition.  Technical 
documentation/logs are required as the project progresses.  Otherwise, there 
are no specific requirements.  The project is estimated to take one to two 
years of part-time work by one to two developers, but this is subject to more 
exact estimates once the candidate reviews the concept plan and agrees on a 
scope of work, budget, and other details.

PitBull is export-controlled, therefore preference is given to U.S.-based 
candidates for our convenience and to avoid red tape.  However, the opportunity 
is open worldwide and it should be no problem to send the development 
workstation to citizens of allied nations.

Please send your c.v./resume and desired hourly, daily, and/or per-project 
rates.  Highlight any relevant experience.  The ideal candidate is experienced 
and/or recognized in Marble development, and also will be available for general 
consulting questions on an hourly basis to improve the features and 
functionality of the resulting product.  Thank you for your consideration, and 
please feel free to email us directly with any questions.

Best,

Andrew Watters
