We're looking for a capable FreeBSD release/build engineer to be the principle build system architect and maintainer for our FreeBSD-based appliance. Here's the desired position attributes: - Must be experienced with source control systems (preferably CVS and Subversion) - Must be experienced with Makefiles (preferably pmake and FreeBSD) - 5+ years development experience in UNIX=20 - Must be comfortable with C - Must be comfortable with scripting languages (preferably Python) - Must be comfortable with UNIX systems administration. - Must be able to work through complicated problems, produce a detailed solution and schedule, and execute on that solution within the schedule. - Must be an excellent communicator. Some job description tidbits: In the short-term (next 30-60 days) this individual will need to come up to speed on our make and build systems (which are a series of Makefiles, UNIX shell scripts, and Python scripts), diagnose any issues which may arise, and ensure that our on-demand and nightly build system is able to continue to operate. This build system is currently functioning today, but is a complicated system that requires maintenance. While the build system is working properly, we have a few minor (but sophisticated) enhancements we'd like to see - such as a basic queuing mechanism for submitting builds. In the longer-term, we have some complicated and exciting projects - conversion to Subversion, build/Bugzilla/Subversion integration, BVT/QA regression suites, modifying the FreeBSD make system to have true dependencies, etc.=20 This position is available immediately in contract form, and also as full-time - in Seattle, WA. Initially this is a solo position but will grow to at least two heads early next year. Please feel free to contact me directly about this. Thanks. Nick Nicholas M.
