Google's Cluster Operations team is looking for talented system
administrators to help administer Google's complex, proprietary

* ensuring 24x7 operation of our cluster
* comprehensive documentation of our procedures

Requirements:

* B.S. in Computer Science, or equivalent experience
* 5+ years experience with Linux Systems Administration
*Deep understanding of networking i.e.: understanding of how to isolate,
diagnose, and resolve service delivery components (service delivery
components include servers, networks, and applications); be familiar
with the functionality, operating, and failure modes of key networking
devices (routers, switches, bridges, firewalls, hardware load
balancers); be able to identify networking as the potential cause of a
service issue using server-resident tools to generate this data (i.e.
tcpdump, ping, traceroute, etc.); familiarity in interpreting the output
of these tools; familiarity with common network topologies, protocols,
and tools; have some notion of common network security exploits -- and
their remedies; understanding of troubleshooting at the packet level;
intimate knowledge of TCP/IP networking
* strong programming and scripting ability (Python, Perl, bash)
