Hi Ryan,
I would be interested in hearing more, I think Mozilla could be an interesting
place to work for.
As per your requirements:
I have a Dip Grad in Computer Science and a Bachelor of Information Technology.
I have been building python server applications for 6 years at my current
position.
Working for a small company I do the sysadmin the database, the application the
html the javascript the css the lot. But I am not a sysadmin or a dba or a user
experience expert. What I am is willing to work on the problems and solve them
the best way I can find.
Im never sure what is required by excellent written and verbal communication
skills. I have never written a book but I have written documentation manuals. I
am not multilingual but I am trying to learn Korean (My wifes language). I
think that I get my ideas across clearly and I am willing to speak up when I
can see a better way to do something.
I currently live in Canberra and would love to stay here if I could so the idea
of being able to work from home while working with a company on the scale of
Mozilla sounds awesome. I assume this point is about being able to do late
night conference calls and working odd hours. Having a 11 month old baby means
I have plenty of experience being up at random hours.
I love building things on open platforms in python. I work in Ubuntu on my
desktop and use Debian for servers. I love that I dont have to guess what a
python library is doing, I can go look, and change it, dynamically! I think
well defined standards and open technologies make us all more productive and
better programmers.
If you think Mozilla would be interested in me then email me back or give me a
call on 0437650758.

Do you love Python, the cloud and the open web? Come help us build the
hosted services and software behind Mozilla's vision of a user-centric web.
We are (soon to be) hiring a Software Engineer to join the Mozilla
Services team. Unfortunately there's no official job ad yet. But I
wanted to get this out ASAP because I'd love to have more Aussies to
join the team!
Mozilla is the global organisation behind the Firefox web browser, the
Persona identity system and the Boot-to-Gecko project, among other things:
http://careers.mozilla.org/en-US/
The Mozilla Services team builds hosted services designed to make your
life on the Internet better:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Services/
https://blog.mozilla.com/services/
As a Software Engineer with Mozilla Services, you would work from home
to build software that makes a difference across the globe. You would
join a distributed team of passionate engineers to design, develop,
deploy and scale the infrastructure behind services like Firefox Sync
and the Open Web Apps Marketplace.
Abbreviated requirements:
- BS or MS in Computer Science or equivalent.
- Experience building high-performance server applications.
- Strong understanding of Python, databases, and the web.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Ability to work with a geographically distributed team.
- A passion for Open Source is a *huge* plus.
If you're interested, please email me for more information - sadly
there's no direct link to apply online just yet, since the official job
ad isn't live.
Cheers,
Ryan
