Edgeos has an opening for a software developer. We are looking for a
mid-level person - good skills are important, a billion years of
professional experience are not required. The primary skills we are
looking for are Linux (Debian preferred), Python, and PostgreSQL (if you know
MySQL, you can easily figure out PostgreSQL). This would be an ideal job for a
skilled and motivated college student or self-taught geek.
We posted a "formal" job listing about a week ago, but it seems that folks
got the vibe we were only looking for very senior-level folks. That is not
the case at all. If you love challenge, are very motivated, and have some
good skills, we want to hear from you.
I wanted to clarify what we are looking for with this new posting and have
included the original posting below for more information and with
instructions about how to apply.

** No recruiters or agents, please! **
Edgeos is currently seeking a software developer to join our team. This
position will be responsible for development of the Edgeos private-labeled
network security services platform (both front-end and back-end). We are *very*
picky about our team and have many specific requirements. Additionally,
although the company is four years old and profitable, we purposely strive to
remain relatively small, focused, and have a start-up company environment.
If you are looking for an "8 to 5 corporate gig" then Edgeos is not for
you. If you thrive on challenge, creativity, freedom, responsibility,
professionalism, and more challenge, then read on... Read and consider
this entire posting carefully before responding.
The position is full time and salary is dependent on your expertise and ability
to make great things (and software) happen.
IDEAL CANDIDATES WILL POSSESS:
- The ability, and desire, to be continually challenged in a very
technical company. The ability, and desire, to learn new skills,
topics, software languages, applications, theories, and technologies.
The ability, and desire, to pick up something new and become extremely
good at it, extremely quickly.
- The ability, desire, creativity, and resourcefulness to actually
apply all those skills to real-world projects and challenges.
- Excellent skills with Linux (Debian preferred), Python, PHP,
PostgreSQL, HTML, HTTP, SSL, TCP/IP, and Apache. Experience building,
and maintaining, dynamic web-based user interfaces. Experience
building, and maintaining, large-scale back-end code and systems (where
all the real magic happens).
- Excellent skills to create **VERY** tight, clean, and secure code!!! If
you have ever passed non-sanitized input from a UI to a database, then
please do not apply. Attention to details are absolutely *critical* for
this position.
- Experience in network/information/systems/application security.
- Bonus points for some web design abilities, user interface design
skills, automated unit test experience, AJAX, Sendmail, Bind, low-level
networking skills, Linux sys-adm, vulnerability assessment, XML, or
PDF/postscript experience.
- Professionalism when interfacing with customers. This is not a "tech
support" position, but you will interface with our customers. As a
small startup company, we all wear many hats and we all take care of
our customers. We are zealous about customer support - you should be
too. Our customers are our partners and we work very closely with them.
- Mastery of understanding the premise of "under-promise and
over-deliver" to continually exceed customer expectations.
- Ability to function in a fast-paced and challenging environment.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
- A positive attitude, relentless pursuit of success, and a burning
desire to be an integral part of a thriving growth-stage company.

"Developer Position" as the subject. Also include a note about which
operating systems, development environments, and editors you prefer. Additional
