Hello All,

My name is Bianca Medina, and I'm a technical recruiter with Google's Site
Reliability Engineering team.  We're currently looking for experts in UNIX
system administration, including configuration, troubleshooting, and
automation in several of our Development offices, including Mountain View,
CA; Kirkland, WA; New York, NY; Dublin, Ireland; and Zurich, Switzerland.

Google.com team members are involved in every facet of Google's production
site. From design issues to troubleshooting, from performance analysis to
capacity planning, from DNS to networking to application [mis]behavior,
Google.com engineers are ultimately responsible for making sure that Google
always works. We take that responsibility very very seriously, but if you
think you've got what it takes then we're eager to talk with you.

Working in the Google.com team, you will wear many hats for Google's entire
production site: first responder, performance analyst, service architect,
system/database administrator, capacity planner, tools developer, monitoring
expert, and technical evangelist.

In this role you will need:

Expertise in UNIX system administration, including configuration,
troubleshooting, and automation.
Fluency in at least one scripting/coding language.
Experience running high-traffic web services, including requirements and
capacity analysis, service configuration, monitoring and troubleshooting,
and change management.
Strong understanding of IP networking, including familiarity with the
functionality, operating, and failure modes of common networking devices,
and the ability to analyze network behavior, performance and application
issues using standard tools like tcpdump.
Requirements:

BA/BS in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent experience.
3 - 5 years experience with UNIX systems administration (5-15 years for
Senior position).
Solid scripting skills in Shell, PHP, Perl or Python.
Proven technical troubleshooting and performance tuning experience.
Experience in a high-volume or critical production service environment.
Ability to handle periodic on-call duty as well as out-of-band requests.
Tack-sharp analytical abilities.
A strong sense of ownership, urgency, and drive.
Fluent written communication and unusual verbal agility are strong assets.
SQL experience a plus, MySQL a plus.
Experience leading short projects involving outside teams is a plus.

If you are interested please contact me directly at biancam at google.com and
put "Google.com positions" somewhere in the subject line.


Kind Regards,
Bianca Medina
