Linux Kernel Job opportunity in Cambridge, Uk @ Citrix

[PaulArcher]

Hi

I am desperate for top developers with excellent C and X86 Skills to come and work for Citrix Systems in the UK. The job is very well paid, relocation is provided- as long as you can be elligible to work in the UK then we want you!

Here is a copy of the job specification, if you are interested email me your CV to citrix at modisintl.com or call +442070386442

We are seeking exceptional candidates who can contribute to the development of this Xen-based platform to join our growing team.

You will work on technologies in domain 0 and our service VMs that provide a variety of services such as device emulation, communication protocols, VM management, USB device management and protocol handling, and startup and installation. This will include designing and implementing new technologies and features, as well as contributing to ongoing quality improvement.

As we are a small team, you'll get a mix of experience if you would like it, with regular opportunities to learn new technologies and help in other product areas, providing you demonstrate responsibliity and care in your areas of responsibility.

What we'd like from you:

1. Commitment and passion for great software architecture and a taste for good design;

2. Ability to learn quickly and an already-proven skill in development on the Linux platform;

3. A strong understanding of x86 architecture;

4. A good understanding of software engineering principles, and an ability to make appropriate trade-offs and different points in the release cycle;

5. Candidates with a Bachelor's degree or higher in a relevant discipline preferred, but we'll consider strong applicants without this.

Successful candidates may also have an understanding of virtualisation concepts, and any experience with Xen would be a bonus (though neither is mandatory - our goal is to find and retain excelllent people).

This position is based in Cambridge, UK.

Citrix XenClient is the future of client virtualisation, providing a secure way for customers to run virtual desktops managed by their IT department alongside ad-hoc personal VMs with full 3D grpahics. XenClient is a high-profile multi-national project with significant investment over a number of years

Meh, that's interesting but getting a work permit in UK is out of reach for me atm.

The chances of getting sponsored is very slim, but send me your CV and I'll have a look- it might happen for someone very very good...

anyone you know who might be interested?
