I've attached the job posting = below, but it's also here: http://blog.projectbismark.net/project-bismark-seeks-core-developer Thanks! Nick -------------------- Project BISmark Seeks Core Developer The BISmark project (http://projectbismark.net/) is looking for a = permanent research staff/programmer position, starting immediately in = the Computer Science Department at the University of Maryland College = Park, located about 8 miles from downtown Washington, DC. About BISmark BISmark is building an open platform to help researchers measure = broadband access networks and better understand home networks, all from = the home router. We are studying questions ranging from the performance = of users=92 Internet service providers, to general reachability, to = performance of home wireless networks. The BISmark router, installed as = the gateway device in a home network, runs a version of the Openwrt = Linux distribution along with our own measurement and management tools. = Well over 100 BISmark devices are currently deployed in homes around the = world (see http://networkdashboard.org for the exact count). We plan to = significantly increase the number and geographic diversity of deployed = routers in the next year. All of the BISmark software is open source and = available on Github, and our active measurement data are made available = for other researchers via Measurement Lab. The project supports a large = group of Ph.D. students and postdocs performing research in this area, = and also interacts regularly with policy groups and industry. About the role You will contribute to all aspects of the BISmark platform. You will = develop and maintain software for both the BISmark routers and the = measurement and control infrastructure that supports them. You will play = a core role in our development team that consists of Ph.D. students and = researchers. You will lead efforts to enhance the usefulness, = reliability, and scalability of the platform and play a major role in = designing and architecting the next version of BISmark. You should be = interested in and excited about BISmark and its goals, and network = measurement and management research in general. Requirements Any candidate must:=20 =95 Have solid experience with our =93stack=94, including = GNU/Linux, shell scripting, C, and Python (or a similar interpreted = language). =95 Have solid experience with both new development and = maintenance and enhancement of existing software. =95 Have sufficient knowledge of/experience with computer = networks and the Internet to understand and discuss BISmark=92s = measurement tools and network design decisions. =95 Be =93entrepreneurial=94=97willing to independently seek out = problems that are of interest to the individual and valuable to the = project, and then drive development of solutions. =95 Be excited to work in an academic environment with faculty, = researchers, and Ph.D. students. You will have the opportunity to = contribute to research projects associated with BISmark. Although the = primary function of the job will be development, you may also need to = periodically address the concerns of graduate students who are = performing a specific experiment on BISmark. Ideal candidates would also have experience with the following: =95 Some of the more specialized aspects of our stack, = including: =95 Linux kernel or distribution development =95 Internet and computer network measurement =95 Openwrt or Linux on embedded systems =95 Lua =95 git or another DVCS =95 devops roles or operations/system administration =95 databases and manipulating large amounts of data =95 designing and implementing distributed systems =95 computer systems security =20 To apply, send the following to jobs@projectbismark.net: =95 A URL to some code you=92ve written previously that you=92re = allowed to show us. =95 A CV or resume describing your background, relevant skills = and experience, and education or other qualifications. =95 Anything else you think we should know about you, or what = interests you about BISmark. =95 A list of people who could tell us more about you. These = people may be employees, co-workers, other developers on open-source = projects you=92ve worked on, etc.=
