Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.

We recruit people from all around the world, as long as you are based in or near London and can do the job :) edit- gonna take the opportunity to post this again seeing as how I've managed to randomly get the first post on a new page :)

-----------------------------------------------------------

London job opportunities for web/perl developers and support engineers ahead.

Hi all, you might have heard that Amazon recently bought lovefilm and have since announced the opening of a development center in London.

I currently work there and I have to say that they are recruiting like mad. There is so much planned for the future (which I can't really talk about in too much detail) across so many areas of development that if you have any technical skills that meet the criteria of any of these jobs, then make sure you send your c.v. to me at bravejadegoody@gmail.com so I can get you in touch with the right people. I am a developer myself and am not responsible for hiring but I am simply putting the word out and can help getting your cv to the right people internally if you are suitable for the job. I would also get a small referral bonus if you eventually got the job. I am declaring that right now just in case it seems shady :)

Be sure to include the url or job title of the position you are applying for.

Look here for a list of jobs, But I can only help you with the applications for ones in London

This could go in the op really because recruitment is ongoing.

We are hiring a LOT of people over the next few years, to the tune of 640 perm employees. Average salaries over 100k. Please check https://www.netapp.com

Approx 400 people in our Raleigh/RTP location, and another 200 or so globally.

If you see anything that interestes you, send your resume, and the REQ # to myself via PM or david.seltzer @ google's mail service.com, and I'll gladly put in your referral for you.

:siren:Immediate opening:siren: Support Engineer

We are losing a key member of our support team for our enterprise backup software. This opening requires strong Linux/Unix knowledge. It is otherwise identical to this posting: http://www.zmanda.com/jobs.html#Support_Windows

The actual job posting for this position has not been uploaded yet. You can get in on the ground floor. All other jobs are open, but we need a Unix/Linux guy ASAP.

Also, no one cares if you have a degree as long as you know your stuff. Like most companies, the job postings are for some theoretical ideal.

Why? Competitive pay. Benefits. Laid-back work environment. Small company with very little bullshit. And me! Sort of. I'm actually the one and only full-time remote employee in the company, but I do visit the office for a week every couple of months.

None of the positions offered are remote. You'll need to be at the office 9am-5pm (ish) Monday-Friday.

If you're interested in any position, let me know. I'll forward your resume straight to our CEO. I can be reached by forums PM or confusedus at gmail

A goon passed his resume along to me last night. I forwarded it to my CEO today and he responded to me within the hour, saying he planned to reach out to him.

We are hiring at least two people for the immediate Support Engineer position. The others aren't so urgent, but rest assured, we need them too!

This is not a low-level helpdesk analogue
You will be helping mid- to high-level IT professionals in some very large corporations. Our software is used by companies that do everything from building cars to shooting rockets into outer space.

These people are almost always well-trained and capable. Exceptions exist, sure, but if you're the kind of guy that likes to fix weird problems in complicated networks, this is for you.

I don't believe I'm going to get an offer for a prospective position I've been after, so I'm posting on here. If that situation somehow changes, I will update accordingly.

My experience: To date, I have over a years' experience of working in educational environments. I am familiar with your typical Windows/OS X/Linux environments and am not afraid of adopting new technology. I unfortunately have minimal networking experience, but can research and learn with proper guidance. Typical software experience (Office, iOS/Android, etc.) and capable of building/taking apart machines. I have an entry-level, self-taught knowledge of programming languages such as Python and Objective-C and other bits and pieces of languages/frameworks such as Java, jQuery, Django, and Twitter Bootstrap. My Github account is available upon request and has a couple small code samples.

What I'm looking for: Optimally T2 support or anything along those lines. Entry-level development positions would be fantastic as another option, if anything is out there.

When I can start: Immediately. I presently work part-time, and with the exception of this job which seems less and less likely to happen with each passing day, the prospect of more hours where I presently work is not very likely due to the nature of how they work.

Location: NJ, willing to locate anywhere in the US. Preferably anywhere warmer. The southwest would be awesome.

Experience: Bachelor's in Computer Science (2010) - exposure to C++, java, and quite a few scripting languages at school. About a year and a half of embedded development experience after finishing my degree. Have also done a few consulting jobs - mainly working with web languages and, separately, VBA for Excel.

It's that time again.

Rackspace Hosting is looking for Linux System Administrators in San Antonio, TX.

Rackspace is one of the leading providers of dedicated hosting in the US and abroad, and over the past couple of years has made major advances in cloud hosting, culminating with the opening of our Next Generation Cloud based on OpenStack.

Our System Administrators deal with customers ranging from small businesses with one or two servers to major corporations with thousands of servers and millions of dollars a month in revenue.

Most of the openings are in the Strategic/Enterprise business unit, which deals with the largest customers. Notable Enterprise customers with Linux environments include EA, Lionsgate Entertainment, Sony, Cisco, Harbor Freight, Disney, and Tom's Shoes.


Here are the requirements from the job description:

quote:


The ideal candidate will have the following:

Requires 2+ years Linux principles experience working in a computer technical field
Bachelor’s degree in computer science or engineering related field or equivalent work experience, preferred
RHCT certification is required
RHCE preferred
Ability to conduct SW compiling
Excellent knowledge of clustering, My SQL, network fundamentals, and Shell scripting
Understands the OSI model and able to apply this knowledge
Excellent knowledge of Rackspace Products
Excellent understanding of DNS
Knowledge of OM report and ILO


Speaking as someone who didn't meet most of these requirements when I got hired, the hiring managers are much more concerned with your potential ability than with your current knowledge, and are likely to take a chance on you, even if you don't meet all of the requirements, if they are convinced that you will pick it up quickly.


The company culture has been discussed repeatedly in this thread and others, so I won't go into detail. It should suffice to say that you will be expected to give 100% every day, but in return you will be rewarded with an amazingly laid-back, fun-intensive work environment, where there is no dress code, very little bureaucratic bullshit and a lot of entertainment and recreational opportunities.

We are also heavily focused on training and professional development. We have an entire division of the company that does nothing but constantly run training classes for everything from software and OS platforms to soft skills like problem solving, management and leadership skills. There's even a beer brewing class a few times a year that's taught by one of the company founders.

We also run major certification programs, including an annual MCSE/MCITP-SA bootcamp, multiple RHCSA and RHCE courses, and the only RHCA program outside of Red Hat.


All positions are salary and pay is competitive. Level 1 admins can expect to start in low to mid 40s, L2s in the high 40s to low 50s, and L3s mid 50s and up. Shift differentials are available for working second or third shift, and everyone receives profit sharing bonuses targeted at 10% of your salary, paid quarterly.

Benefits include day-1 medical insurance with options from a fully-paid basic plan to higher-end plans with comprehensive coverage at very nice prices. 401k and Roth 401k retirement plans are available, as well as an employee stock purchase plan. New employees earn paid time off at a rate of two weeks per year, in addition to 40 hours of floating holiday time and 24 hours of volunteer time.

Relocation assistance is available, but might vary based on your location and circumstances. I moved to San Antonio from Dallas and received a full pack and move plus a nice lump sum for expenses.


How to apply: PM me or email me at fatman1683 at gmail. I'll try to answer any questions you might have, and if you have the chops I can refer you for a position. This will guarantee that you at least get a call from one of our recruiters.

If you're not a Linux admin but like the idea of working for Rackspace, contact me anyway and I'll see if I can find a position you would be good for. Also check out RackerTalent for job listings and more information about the company and the culture.


edit: I just found this out, we're also hiring Software Developers:

quote:

The ideal candidate will have the following:

Hands on experience developing enterprise web applications in Java, Python, PHP or Ruby.
Experience mentoring and leading junior developers
5+ years experience in object oriented software development
Full understanding of the entire software development life cycle
Familiarity with Agile development methodologies
Experience creating prototypes
Heavy experience working with various API’s
Heavy experience working with web services (REST, SOAP, etc)
Experience working with databases (bonus if MySQL)
Experience with distributed data systems
Previous QA experience

Location: San Francisco Bay Area (Preferably North Bay/SF, but whatever's fine)

Experience: Bachelors in Computer Science (2012). 5 years of programming/scripting experience. Mostly coursework, along with a handful of small projects done with a bit of my spare time. Developed applications that run on pretty much any platform. Most of my projects involved me going through the whole design flow of an application, like my senior project, which was an iOS app designed from the ground up.

Languages: Extensive knowledge in Objective-C, C#, C++, Java, Python. Fairly knowledgeable with PHP, Javascript, C, x86 assembly, SQL. I'm big on knowing at least a tiny bit of everything, so other stuff that's not on here is likely workable.

What I'm looking for: Software engineering. I can code or learn-to-code in almost anything. Mobile, Back-end, front-end, PCs, Macs, consoles, what have you. I can likely pick it up fairly quickly.

What I'm NOT looking for: 100 hrs/wk. A position that's not entry-level/junior-developer-friendly. I also am not a huge fan of cubicles, but that's not a huge problem.

When can I start: 2~3 weeks from hire

Well, here's my answer...
The Spyder, I'm interested in any jobs relating to robotics and California! Can you share more, or should I just go with the resume submission and cover letter?

Job Seeker (posted more concise in the spreadsheet)

My Experience
Degrees in mechanical engineering and bioengineering; robotics, sensors, microfluidics and tissue engineering, image processing, and Matlab. Depending on the job, typically 3 years experience overall. Couldn't find work so now I'm in Chicago learning Ruby on Rails and having a blast! Turns out I'm a pretty quick learner with it, but my Github needs some cleaning up.

About me
I've done database/OSP work at AT&T, experiment design/sensor/CAD stuff at Scripps, and biomechanics research/FEA/Matlab at Mayo Clinic. Some fun classes in design and reverse engineering and autonomous robotics, too! Due to my bad economy timing my jobs have all been unrelated intern/contract and that left me with background that isn't as deep as HR wants. But I've learned to pick things up pretty fast because of it.

What I'm looking for
A small company where I can grow as a dev or engineer. Or a large company with lots of pair programming. I like the idea of working for equity, I like being challenged, and I like having multiple projects so I can keep learning and doing cool new things.

What I'm not looking for
Corporate 8 to 5 in a cubicle. A job where I feel like a monkey doing the same thing for 8 hours a day for months on end.

Where I live & looking to work
Permanent home is Florida but I'm in Chicago now. I'm single, I don't own much, and I want to change the world, so I am actively seeking employment in any exciting tech city, especially west coast. I would also love to work in another country, but I don't have any visas.

When can I start
Mid-September.

Similar interests to me then (woohoo, I got published in an IEEE journal a couple of months ago!)

Anyway, last year I applied for an internship at Bosch's Research and Technology Center in Palo-Alto... but they turned me down.

I have quite literally never had a company check my credit score for a background check. As far as checking it they also need to ask your permission to do so and credit should be listed under the items they'll be looking at (so read the drat background check form before you sign it).

Edit: Also I believe they're required to give you not only a written notice of "Why we aren't hiring you because of a background check" along with a copy of the report they didn't like. So if you don't get any of those you're ok.

A credit check is a pretty good poor man's background check -- in most cases people with long-term credit issues also tend to have fundamental honesty, responsibility or substance abuse issues.

As a student whose worked 2 jobs for about half of my degree, I honestly find it a little hard to believe that somewhere out there people couldn't find a job working retail to hold themselves over instead of literally nothing. McDonalds and Walmart is always hiring. Even at bare minimum wage that's enough to pay off a few hundred per month.


I'm not saying that's the case for everyone, maybe I'm just skewed because I wasn't necessarily directly hit (nor even know anyone who lost their job) in the past 5 years.

It's pretty simple, there were way more people looking for jobs than there were actual jobs. Even in the best of times there's a couple percent of unemployment because people are always transitioning, but it makes you sound like a real turd when you say "I found a job why can't anybody else" when it comes down to practically basic physics.
