                        Systems Programmer

                        SnowFlock Project
                      University of Toronto

The SnowFlock project at the Computer Science Department of the
University of Toronto is developing an infrastructure for executing
parallel applications on cloud-based clusters, e.g., Amazon EC2.  In
SnowFlock, an application encapsulated inside a virtual machine (VM)
is swiftly forked into multiple copies that execute on different
physical hosts, and then disappear when the computation ends.
SnowFlock targets resource-intensive web applications in areas such as
bioinformatics, graphics rendering, computational finance, and search.

We are seeking a systems programmer (1 year, extendible contingent on
funding).  In this role, the individual will have primary
responsibility over the following tasks:
•    Develop a Snowflock distribution for release to the scientific
and engineering community
•    Assemble and manage a beta SnowFlock deployment
•    Provide technical support to SnowFlock users
•    Maintain and fix bugs
•    Implement new features

Requirements:
•    University degree in computer science or closely related field
•    Experience in Linux kernel programming and debugging
•    Strong programming skills in C language
•    Good analytical and problem-solving skills
•    Excellent oral and written communication skills in English

Personal Characteristics:
•    Self motivated
•    Team player
•    Commitment to the timely completion of developments to schedule

Not required but nice to have:
•    Knowledge of Xen
•    Experience with scientific and parallel applications
•    Experience with Web programming
•    Experience with Python

To apply submit a cover letter and cv to snowflockjobs-26n5VD7DAF0mNOnO2XTxlw at public.gmane.org
