Hi guys, For once, I'll abuse the list's purpose.
We'd like to reinforce the development team of the ALOHA Load Balancer (http://www.exceliance.fr/en). This is the same team who has already brought many goodies into HAProxy over the years, including IPv6, logs, compression, SSL, with yet more to come. We're looking for a developer who feels at ease with the philosophy of embedded systems (constrained resources, fault tolerance, user errors, regression testing, ability to always recover from errors, ...), who has solid skills in Shell, C, HTTP, TCP/IP, uses Git, SVN, diff and patch without thinking about it, feels capable of propagating feature updates bottom-up in the service scripts, API and Web interface, who is not scared by hardware nor patching the Linux kernel and who can quickly become autonomous improving on the work of others without everytime considering redoing everything from scratch. Another important point is that the person must act responsibly with the bugs he/she will inevitably introduce from time to time, and handle this directly with the support team and affected customers. Speaking English is an absolute requirement in our context. Yes, I know I'm demanding much but I'm quite convinced we don't have them all yet and there are many talented people outside, especially on this list :-) The job is set in our office in Jouy-en-Josas, close to Paris. It is not absolutely required to be present every day, though being mostly present is highly desired. To be clear on one point, the work is mainly focused on the ALOHA product line which occasionally means working on HAProxy and Linux kernel. So please don't immediately jump and say "Wow cool, some OSS-only development", it's not only that. If you want more details, or if you think you could possibly be interested, please contact me directly. Thanks, Willy
