Hello. My name is Swan Boon. I'm a recruiter for Google. Google is
currently seeking several Unix/Linux experts for a couple of positions in
Dublin, Ireland and Zurich, Switzerland. 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.


Swan Boon
Google Recruiter
Mountain View, California
650-623-6779
swanboon at google.com



Senior Software Engineer, Google.com (SRE)
Positions based in Dublin Ireland and Zurich, Switzerland; and various
locations in US.

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.

your resume to:

administrators for the Google.com group. The Google.com teams are directly
responsible for Google's stellar uptime record, and act as the guardians and
custodians of Google's user-visible services. In this leadership role, you
will be responsible for ensuring that Google users can always reach and use
