Hello,

 

My client is a successful private firm located in Milpitas that develops IT
automation software that is compatible on a variety of platforms - Linux,
Unix, Apple OSX, Win. They are currently seeking an experienced Linux
engineer to join their dynamic, savvy and I must say very nice group! The
job profile is as follows:

 

My client is a dynamic software company experiencing rapid growth in North
America, Latin America, Europe, and Asia. Their workforce is mobile, highly
decentralized, and rapidly expanding. They are looking for an experienced
Linux Developer for our Milpitas, CA (San Jose) office. This is a great
opportunity for a skilled, independent individual seeking a chance to learn
and to undertake a broad range of tasks and responsibilities in a high
visibility position.

Responsibilities:

.         As a senior member of the engineering team, you will work closely
with small development team making design decisions for a Linux version of
the "Agent."

.         Assume a lead role in designing, coding, and testing an Agent
ported to the Linux platform. The Agent communicates via TCP/IP to a remote
Windows server hosting the Server management service. The server sends down
command primitives to the Agent to perform rudimentary tasks such as writing
a file, getting a file, executing a file, auditing the hardware and software
on the PC, prompting a user with question and waiting for a response,
rebooting, monitoring resources, and more. These rudimentary commands are
combined to perform management tasks, such as remote controlling the PC,
deploying patches, monitoring the resource utilization of the PC, installing
programs, enforcing policies, and more.

.         Design and implement an Agent installation package and update
package for the Linux platform.

.         Contribute to the definition of product features to the Agent for
ongoing enhancements to the management of Linux computer systems.

.         Provide 2nd tier support for the Agent and its components. 

.         Features are chosen to fit our product releases and upgrades which
occur every 4 to 6 months. Typical features are designed, implemented, and
tested in periods lasting as short as days to a month depending on the
scope. Daily design decisions must always be cognizant of robustness,
scalability, minimal resource utilization, and backwards compatibility as
the Agent resides on every managed PC deployed.

Requirements:

.         5+ years experience with Linux development across various
distributions (Debian, SUSE, Ubuntu, RedHat, etc).

.         Expertise in the following areas
