Developer Needed: Linux, Python, PostgreSQL

[Jay Jacobson]

Edgeos, the private-labeled vulnerability assessment services company, has an 
opening for a software developer in the Phoenix area. 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 recently, 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. Edgeos is a profitable, self-funded company, with customers 
all around the world (literally). However, we are also a small company with a 
great startup environment and a wealth of opportunities.

I have included the full posting below for more information and with 
instructions about how to apply.

Edgeos is Hiring!  <http://www.edgeos.com>

** 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...

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.

  - Good skills with Linux (Debian preferred), Python, PHP,
    PostgreSQL, HTML, HTTP, SSL, TCP/IP, and Apache. Able to build,
    and maintain, dynamic web-based user interfaces. Ability and desire to
    build, and maintain, 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 or knowledge in network/information/systems/application
    security is a bonus.

  - 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.
