  Are you part ace coder, part adrenaline junkie? Do you have a knack
  or seeing a problem and immediately discerning the likely solution?

  engineer who is also a genius at jockeying networks and administering
  UNIX clusters.

  Engineering team. Google.com Engineers are in the thick of everything
  involved with keeping Google running, from code-level troubleshooting
  of service anomalies to safeguarding the availability of our most
  popular services; from monitoring and response to building new
  automation infrastructure and balancing the desire for change
  management with the need for stability. All team members must have
  strong analytical and troubleshooting skills, fluency in coding, good
  communication skills and enthusiasm most of all for tackling the
  complex problems of scale which are uniquely Google. We tackle
  challenging, novel situations every day, and work with just about
  every other Engineering and Operations team at Google in the process.

* Required Skills: In this role you will need:
  o Expertise in coding, analyzing and troubleshooting large-scale
    distributed systems.
  o Experience in a high-volume or critical production service
    environment.
  o Strong understanding of IP networking, including the ability to
    analyze network behavior, performance and application issues using
    standard tools like tcpdump.

  Qualifications:
  o BA/BS in Computer Science, MS or PhD is preferred.
  o 0 - 15 years experience.
  o 3+ years developing web-based applications.
  o Expertise in data structures, algorithms, and complexity analysis.
  o Fluency in one or more of: C, C++, Java.
  o Fluency in one of more of: Shell, PHP, Perl or Python.
  o Ability to handle periodic on-call duty, as well as out-of-band
    requests.
  o Solid working knowledge of UNIX, preferably Linux.
  o Tack-sharp analytical abilities.
  o A strong sense of ownership, urgency, and drive.
  o Fluent written communication and unusual verbal agility are strong
    assets.
  o SQL experience a plus, MySQL a plus.
