Dan,
I have a friend who manages one of the funds at Eaton Vance. I don't know all that much about it, but it seems like a good company. They sure have a lovely view of the Boston Harbor!
I had no idea they were interested in Common Lisp! I'd love to know why, although that might be proprietary. My friend is probably too far from the techies to know.
It would be nice to put this up on lispjobs.wordpress.com, if you don't find anybody yourself.
