Current Job Openings
=====================

At present, we have the following openings (but we are always looking to
hire talented minds):

All candidates must have:

+ BTech in CSE or higher
+ excellent analytical skills,
+ excellent english communication skills, a can-do attitude, ability to
+ quickly master new technologies.

Network Developers: You have significant router knowledge, especially
with Cisco & Juniper routers, CCIE a plus. You have excellent C++
skills, and have experience with NetFlow, SNMP, IDS/IPS, wide-area
routing (BGP, ISIS) and related technologies. You will build a scalable
data collection module, which will interact with routers, collect data
from hundreds of devices across the network and organize all this
information.

Systems Developers: You are adept at processing terabytes of data, have
experience working with network data, and are an expert in C++ and
Linux. You also are familiar with techniques in machine learning and
have a background in (or are eager to learn more about) statistics.
Experience with multi-processing, multi-threading, and synchronization a
huge plus. You will tame the massive amounts of data, and use
sophisticated cutting-edge algorithms to extract interesting events from
it.

Visualization Developers: You are an expert web developer. You are
excited by aesthetics, by rich internet apps, by google maps. You are an
expert in Flash and Flex, are creative and a strong coder (artists alone
need not apply). Preference will be given to graphics/games developers,
or developers of custom Flash widgets. You will build a revolutionary
interface that will allow operators to understand and manage their
networks.

Platform Engineers: You are adept at system administration, programming
Perl and shell scripts, and can also code in C++. You know Apache 2 and
PostgreSQL, and what makes them tick really fast. You are comfortable
with on-the-fly configuration of firewalls, SELinux, hardware and
software RAID, tuning TCP parameters, troubleshooting misbehaviors, and
managing computer infrastructure. You are as comfortable with the
hardware as you are with Linux. RHEL certification a plus, but not
required.

Database Engineers: You know PostgreSQL (or Oracle) like the back of
your hand. Vacuuming, bitmap indices, snapshots, and index optimization
should be comfortable terms. You have strong data modeling and data
representation skills (with space optimization in mind). You have
experience interacting with databases using C++, through a library such
as pgsqlxx. You believe that anything but graphics can be done in SQL,
and know what makes queries fast.

Technical Managers: You have considerable project management experience
especially with coordinating off-shore teams. You know how to motivate,
how to push, how to inspire a team: you are a natural leader. You are
also technically strong: proficient developer, experience in building
large heterogeneous systems (using Makefiles, ANT), and an expert in
quality assurance (defining processes and building unit tests). You will
coordinate and manage gifted engineers, liaison with remote offices, and
ensure that deadlines are consistently beaten.
