[jobs] The Hottest Start-Up in NYC- Back End Services Engineer

[Chin SPG]

Pete,
With all due respect, this is a job opening that I am actively working on,
and can help a qualified candidate in landing this role for a highly
coveted employer.
If the group is only limited to hearing about *BSD Unix related
opportunities, then I will be limited in my abilities to help.
However, there are folks that have already reached out to me from this
group that take joy, and professionally focus on activities in working
on challenges outside of a *BSD Unix.
Further, one may stand to benefit tremendously to reap the rewards from
this opportunity while addressing technical challenges in scaling,
performance, throughput, and more- it's a scope that's transferrable, in my
humble opinion, and can leverage expertise developed by working on an
Advanced Operating System (FreeBSD) and its peripheral components that many
folks that contribute to it are innately equiped with. I guess it's for
those that have a platform agnostic and open attitude and are more so
driven by technical challenges- no matter what the environments are coined.
BTW, Am I really that off?

Linux is a Unix clone written from scratch by Linus Torvalds with
assistance from a loosely-knit team of hackers across the Net. It aims
towards POSIX compliance.

Anyhow, I am only exposing this role to the group for a client that I have
a successful track record of doing business with, and can lend an
additional peek behind the scenes to prepare someone that's interested and
well qualified for.
If you are not interested in taking this on, I totally understand.
Thank you for your suggestion, by the way- perhaps, I am barking up the
wrong tree...
However, looking at the archives, I would hope that this group is open to
hearing about the wealth of opportunities that I'm working on in order to
gain exposure to what's hot now in the market. From folks I have spoken
with, I feel as though there's a much wider talent pool than you give this
group credit for, Pete.
Thanks!
Sincerely,
Chintan
