Gentlepeople,
This time around we need a perl developer for our operations group here at
ISC. Forgive the old schtick, but here goes ...We're the guys that develop
bind and dhcpd. What you may not know is that we also operate F-Root, which
serves about a third of the global root DNS traffic through over 50 sites
around the world, as well as provide hosting to public benefit projects
through several datacenters here in the bay area. To support this we've got
our own dark fiber network here in the bay area, and a WAN to several other
key datacenters in the US.

You can read the job posting below, but the key take away is that we're
looking for someone who's not afraid to jump into existing code and figure
it out and keep it running with limited involvement of the original authors
(who have left the company but are still willing to help). You'd also be
helping out with some of the day to day operations involved in keeping our
network and F-Root up and healthy.

What you also might not know is that ISC is a 501C3 non-profit, with the
explicitly stated goal of making the Internet better. While working at ISC
will never net you the biggest paycheck in Silicon Valley, you can
generally sleep well knowing you're doing good work for the community.

So, if this sounds interesting to you, or you know of someone this might
fit, check out jobs page at
http://www.isc.org/?jobs=senior-operations-developer-devops or just submit
a CV to jobs at isc.org. If you have any questions, just ask.

Thanks!
