Hey everyone, One of the guys on my team (BSD) at Apple is retiring soon and we'll be looking for a new engineer. There's no req yet, as his retirement date is not until March or something. Our team maintains most of the non-kernel BSD projects (shell commands, utilities, scripting languages, etc), and the guy who's retiring has been the one who maintains our implementations of Python and Perl, as well as several other projects. There will probably be some project shuffling on the team when he leaves, but someone who has experience with Perl or Python source would have a pretty good leg up.
We'd be looking for a reasonably experienced systems programmer (5+ years) with a strong Unix background. I don't know what the pay range for the position will be, but Apple has an incredible benefits package (health/dental/optical) and lots of great perks (employee discounts on hardware/software, lots of discounts for third-party stuff, etc). It's pretty unlikely that telecommuting/remote office would be on the table, as Apple likes to keep engineering teams together as much as possible, but most of us work from home one or more days per week. In addition, even though housing is insanely expensive here in the Bay Area, the magnolia trees by the building next door to mine are blooming. It's pretty hard to beat the weather and area here. If you have any questions or will be interested once I have an actual req, reply here or off list. Or you can email my work address 'aesplin at apple dot com'. -- Alex Esplin /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
