[NCLUG] [Fwd: Google seeks Linux experts]

[Mike Loseke]

 Considering the topic, and extremely low traffic around here as of late,
thought I'd forward this to the list as they got my name from some old
entry of me still being the contact. Enjoy and good luck to anyone who
may take them up on the offer.

Hello.  My name is Marianne Dove.  I'm a recruiter for Google.  Google is
currently seeking several Unix/Linux experts for a couple of positions in
Mountain View, California or Dublin, Ireland.  I was wondering if it would
be possible for you to post this information or let your members know
about this opportunity.    If so, I've pasted the 2 job descriptions
below.



If it's not possible, I understand.  I don't mean to crowd your technical
list with a job posting, but this is such a great opportunity, and Google
is seeking the very best Engineers from around the world and I feel there
must be dozens of linux experts out there.  I'm hoping I can find some of
them on your list via my posting.  Thank you for your consideration and
time.



Sincerely,



Marianne Dove

Senior Software Engineer, Google.com (SRE)
Positions based in Mountain View, CA and Dublin Ireland.

Are you part ace coder, part adrenalin junkie? Do you have a knack for
seeing a problem and immediately discerning the likely solution? Maybe
you've been coding for years, are bored with the old
design-build-review-test-ship-repeat routine, and yearn for some
faster-paced challenges? Or perhaps you're a seasoned software engineer
who is also a genius at jockeying networks and administering UNIX
clusters.

We're looking for top-notch thrill seeking, software engineers to join the
Google.com team. Google.com engineers are in the thick of everything
involved with keeping Google running, from code-level troubleshooting of
traffic anomalies to maintenance of our most cutting edge services; from
monitoring and alerts to building new automation infrastructure. We are
aggressively building this elite team of high level engineers in this
mission critical environment. All team members must have strong analytical
and troubleshooting skills, fluency in coding, good communication skills,
and most of all enthusiasm for tackling the complex problems of scale
which are uniquely Google. Google.com engineers tackle challenging, novel
situations every day,
and work with just about every other engineering and operations team in
the process.

Qualifications:
.BA/BS in CS, or equivalent experience.
.Strong programming/scripting skills in any of the following: C, C++,
Java, Perl, Python
.In-depth knowledge of Unix (preferably Linux), networking, and shell 
scripting.
.Proven technical troubleshooting experience.
.Excellent analytic ability, strong communication skills, and a strong
sense of urgency.
.Ability to handle periodic on-call duty as well as out-of-band requests. 
.5+ years experience in a similar position a big plus.
.Experience with Unix system administration a plus.
