[Phoenix-pm] Job Opportunity [Fwd: Google & Perl Mongers]

[Douglas E. Miles]

-------- Original Message --------
Hello Doug…



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 couple
of positions in Dublin, Ireland or Mountain View, California.  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 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.  Might you be
interested?   I’m hoping I can find some of them on your list via my
posting. I will respond to all that apply to my email address.   Thank
you for your consideration and time.



Sincerely,





Jeff

*Senior Software Engineer/Unix System & Network Administrator,
Google.com (SRE)*

*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, Perl, Python.
     * Senior Level experience with Unix system administration.
     * Strong understanding of networking; understanding of how to
       isolate, 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.
     * Ability to handle periodic on-call duty as well as out-of-band
       requests.
     * 6-15+ years experience for Senior SWE position, or 3-8 years
       experience for SWE position.
     * BA/BS in CS, or equivalent experience.

*Senior Systems Administrator/Architect, Google.com (SRE)*

*Position based in Mountain View, CA.*

     * Are you a detail-oriented systems professional, seasoned Unix
       jockey, Internet services architect, database whiz, performance
       analyst, or software engineer, at the top of your game?
     * Looking for the next cool problem to solve, in a fast-paced and
       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)

If you answered "Yes" to more than three of the above questions, you may
