C/Unix Network Programming Telecommuting position (Supernews team)
We are looking for a new member to join the geographically-diverse, telecommuting-only Supernews operations team. Our small team handles all aspects of designing, coding, building and operating the Supernews service, which is the largest (and in our biased opinion best) supplier of outsourced Usenet service to ISPs and corporations, in addition to our individual subscription service. At this point we are looking for someone with substantial network programming experience (C on Unix), including experience of high-throughput servers. Some familiarity with Usenet and NNTP is desirable. Other related skills that will be taken into account include: - general FreeBSD experience (any aspect) - Perl - CGI or other web development skills - Unix administration - familiarity with SAN systems or large disk storage systems generally - IP networking (incl. BGP and/or OSPF) - experience with providing redundant / high-availability services This role does not require contact with customers (unless you choose to join the fray in supernews.general, our local newsgroup for customers and end-users). Location (including country, within reason) is not a factor provided Internet connectivity is available. Prior telecommuting experience may be useful but is not absolutely required. Interested parties should send resume to <unrecovery@supernews.com> in some appropriate format (PDF, ascii preferred, MS-Word and other proprietary formats will be bit-bucketed). -aDe -- Ade Lovett, Austin TX.
