Here's a forwarded request for several Unix positions. These opportunities 
appear to require advanced Unix skills rather than BSD-specific skills. 
Any interested parties please contact Marianne Dove directly.

Cheers,

Subject: Google seeking Unix experts

Hello.  My name is Marianne Dove.  I'm a recruiter for Google.  Google is
currently seeking several Unix experts for a couple of positions in Dublin,
Ireland or Mountain View, California.  I ran across your name while I was
conducting a Google search for possible candidates in the hopes of
networking with as many Unix experts as possible.  With your experience and
probable contacts in the Unix community, would you happen to know of anyone
that may be interested in Engineering positions at Google?  Would you be
interested in this opportunity?

This is such a great opportunity, and Google is seeking the very best
Engineers from around the world and I feel there must be dozens of Unix
experts out there.  I'm hoping I can find some of them through networking
with you.  I've attached a few job descriptions.  If you happen to know of
any that may be interested, please feel free to forward this email to them
and have them contact me directly.   I hope you are not bothered by my
networking attempt.  Or if by some streak of fortune on my part, if you are
interested, please let me know.  :-)   Thank you for your consideration and
time.

Sincerely,

Marianne Dove

Senior Software Engineer, Google.com (SRE)
Positions based in Dublin Ireland.

Are you part ace coder, part adrenalin junkie? Do you have a knack for
seeing a problem and immediately discerning the likely solution? Maybe
you've been coding for years, are bored with the old
design-build-review-test-ship-repeat routine, and yearn for some
faster-paced challenges? Or perhaps you're a seasoned software engineer who
is also a genius at jockeying networks and administering UNIX clusters.

We're looking for top-notch thrill seeking, software engineers to join the
Google.com team. Google.com engineers are in the thick of everything
involved with keeping Google running, from code-level troubleshooting of
traffic anomalies to maintenance of our most cutting edge services; from
monitoring and alerts to building new automation infrastructure. We are
aggressively building this elite team of high level engineers in this
mission critical environment. All team members must have strong analytical
and troubleshooting skills, fluency in coding, good communication skills,
and most of all enthusiasm for tackling the complex problems of scale which
are uniquely Google. Google.com engineers tackle challenging, novel
situations every day, and work with just about every other engineering and
operations team in the process.

Qualifications:
.Strong programming/scripting skills in any of the following: Python, C,
C++, Java, Perl
.BA/BS in CS, or equivalent experience.
.In-depth knowledge of Unix (preferably Linux), networking, and shell
scripting.
.Proven technical troubleshooting experience.
.Excellent analytic ability, strong communication skills, and a strong sense
of urgency.
.Ability to handle periodic on-call duty as well as out-of-band requests.
.5+ years experience in a similar position a big plus.
.Experience with Unix system administration a plus.
