Here's an opening for a Unix guru obsessed with security. UNIX DEVELOPMENT ENGINEER
Symark Software has an opening in its technical department for a senior Unix development engineer. Job Specification: The individual will participate in the software design and development of Symark's Unix product line. Symark's products provide capabilities in Unix security and system administration. Symark sells Unix products to the Fortune 1000 companies. The tasks consist of: 1) Isolating and fixing bugs as identified by our customers. 2) Porting across various Unix environments. 3) Coding and developing new enhancements to respond to the needs of the marketplace. >From time to time the individual will also be expected to assist the technical support staff in the resolution of difficult customer problems and sales situations. Technical Qualifications: The individual must have at least 3 years in depth experience in developing products in C for the Unix environment. Experience of systems administration and networking is required. The position that is open is that of a systems programmer as opposed to an applications programmer. This requires an in depth understanding of how Unix works, not merely a good understanding of how to use it. Knowledge of installation/compilation of the gnu products such as gcc, emacs etc. is required. Knowledge of TCP/IP, DNS, NIS, NIS+ is required. Experience with the development of client server systems is also required (Note "development of" not "implementation of"). The programmer must also have familiarity with make and makefiles. Familiarity with multiple unix environments is required. The individual should have knowledge of the following: sudo, tar, PKI, ssh, securid, Kerberos, C2, DCE, xterm Other Qualifications: The individual must have good written and communication skills. Much of our communication with our customers is via the telephone and so good telephone communication is essential. Good written communication is also a requirement since the developers are also responsible for the creation and update of the associated product manuals as well as specification and design documents. As one of a small group of developers the individual must be prepared to pitch in to do what it takes. It is absolutely necessary to be a team player. The individual should be a self starter, be prepared to recognize both product and procedural issues and step in and fix them. Since Symark both develops and resells products, the individual must be capable of coming up to speed on new products and technologies. The individual is expected to keep current with technologies which will often mean independent study outside of the normal work hours. The individual would typically be a Unix devotee and would not have a significant history with Windows environments (beyond the typical use of Office products) The individual should live within a reasonable commuting distance from Westlake Village (Ventura County, CA). A sense of humor is an asset. The Company: Symark is a 16 year old company involved in the sale of software products. Symark specializes in Unix products in the areas of system administration and security. Symark has offices in Westlake Village. The normal working hours for technical staff are 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Symark is privately held and has been profitable each year of its existence.
