Quite relevant as far as I'm concerned. I'm not interested, but if
Google opens a local office I might be! It would be nice to see some
local listings for perl programmers (I know there ARE perl jobs in
Tucson...)

| Hello Chris?
|
| My name is Jeff Polo.  I?m a technical recruiter for Google, and I found
| your contact info on the Perl Mongers web site.  Google is currently
seeking
| several Unix/Linux experts with strong Perl skills for a few of
positions on
| Google?s Site Reliability Engineering team (SRE),  in either Dublin,
Ireland
| or Mountain View, California.  I was wondering if it would be possible for
| you to post this information to your ?relatively low-traffic email
list? or
| otherwise let your members know about these opportunity. If so, I?ve
pasted
| a couple job descriptions below.  More openings can be found at:
| http://www.google.com/intl/en/jobs/eng/reli.html
|
| If it?s not possible, I understand.  I don?t mean invade 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 Perl experts out there with the expertise to have an interest
| in exploring these opportunities.    I?m hoping I can find some of them on
| your list via my posting. Might you be interested?  I will respond to all
| that apply to my email address.   Thank you for your consideration and
time.
|
| Sincerely,
|

| Positions based in Mountain View, CA and in our European Operations HQ in
| 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:
| ? Strong programming/scripting skills in any of the following: C, C++,
Java,

| diagnose, and resolve service delivery components (service delivery
| components include servers, networks, and applications); be familiar with
| the functionality, operating, and failure modes of key networking devices
| (routers, switches, bridges, firewalls, hardware load balancers); be
able to
| identify networking as the potential cause of a service issue using
| server-resident tools to generate this data (tcpdump, ping, traceroute,
| etc.); familiarity in interpreting the output of these tools; familiarity
| with common network topologies, protocols, and tools; have some notion of
| common network security exploits -- and their remedies; understanding of
| troubleshooting at the packet level.
| ? Strong project management skills, especially in deploying live end-user
| systems.
| ? In-depth knowledge of Unix (preferably Linux), and shell scripting.
| ? Proven technical troubleshooting experience.
| ? Excellent analytic ability, strong communication skills, and a strong
| sense of urgency.

requests.

| engineering-driven environment?
| ? Can you write a script or application that performs practically the
entire
| job you once held earlier in your career?
| ? Does your idea of a good time involve taking things apart just to
see how
| they work? Are you successful putting them back together when you're
done?
| ? Can you help achieve increased Availability, Reliability, Uptime, and
| Quality? (for our systems and services, naturally)
