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.
