Original posting

San Francisco, Austin, San Antonio TX We're solving hard infrastructure problems at Rackspace, and building products that other developers use and love. We're looking for smart Linux/Python software engineers located in San Francisco, Austin or San Antonio, who want to sell awesome tech, not advertisements. We'll relocate you if needed. About our team: - We love Linux and open standards. - We solve problems with software and hardware. We love hardware. - Our favorite GUI is ssh/bash, preferably served grey on black. - We deploy to many data centers all over the globe. - We have a hot key for everything. - Some of us have never dragged or dropped anything. About you: - You have strong opinions on concurrency models. - You are an intellectually curious US-based hacker. - You want to have an enormous impact on a product developers love. - You know what an architecture astronaut is and you're not one. - You want to learn from us and you have something to teach. - You've managed your own memory on multiple occasions (successfully). We need help with: - Running software at scale. Running it well. We want to re-invent a data center. - Hacking on OpenStack/Python, especially on Nova. - Systems-level hacking: PXE Booting, BMCc, iDRACs, hardware management. - Controlling the new generation of network devices and SDNs. - Good knowledge of Python is helpful but not mandatory. If you're a hacker who're generally unhappy with the state of cloud hosting - or generally with hosting - and want to do something about it, we want to talk to you. If this sounds like you, let me know: russell.haering@rackspace.com
