We are looking for several Sr Software Engineers. The positions are
located in Richardson. Initially these will be contracts but they
could turn into full time employees. Officially, inside the company
they are not contract to hire, but that's a technicality with HR.
We need good Senior engineers who know their way around Linux, we
don't do Windows here. Our production platforms are RHEL 6 and RHEL
4/5 that haven't been upgraded yet. Development in C, C++, Perl and
Python get the most attention for these positions.
The department that I work for handles the corporate wide Network
Infrastructure Tools. Right now I'm working on a project that
automates the configuration of a next generation data center switch
that can manage 20,000 servers over 10G Ethernet with .7ns latency,
those are not typos.
As the result of a restructuring, this group was created to bring all
of the infrastructure tools under a common control. So basically this
is a new, from the ground up, group in the company and there is a
critical need to get it staffed up. There could be as many as 20 new
perms by the end of the year for this group but everyone starts on
contract, mostly because of the HR process for bringing in new hires.
My manager has 4 teams under him and he reports to 3 VPs who report
directly to the CEO, so this is a high profile enterprise critical group.
If you're an engineer and ever wondered what it would be like to work
for a company run by engineers for engineers, then you've got to see
this place. I have a laptop and was given the choice between Mac or
Windows. My workstation is Fedora 17, no options here, 4core Intel HP
desktop with a 25in flat screen, 16GB ram, 1TB drive with a
dual-display graphics card. Virtually every piece of code is under
package management control so you don't have to be chasing down
undocumented parts. As a developer most any tool you might want to
use is available. The company culture is to make the tools available
and let the engineer decide what tools work best for them. Some
people work from their laptop to ssh into a work space on a server.
Others, me included, do all of their work on their desktop in Linux.
If you are interested in this opportunity email me and we'll talk
more. I've been on the list for a long time but I haven't been very
active lately so if you don't recognize my name, I'm not a recruiter.
I haven't named the company here, but trust me, this is a cool
company to work for.
