Linux Sysadmin and other @ Goo, Full Time

(if you're willing/able to relocate, we also hire in many other locations, contact me separately for that)

Just 2 words about me, I'm Marc MERLIN, a long time linux enthousiast (10Y+) and linux sysadmin/engineer at Google, and I just learned that we'll be growing our Google Australia office significantly in April, so I thought I'd pass on the word if you are interested.

We looking for all kinds of good technical operations/IT folks:
# Information Security Engineer
# IT Field Technician
# Network Security Engineer 
# Software Engineer
# Systems Security Engineer, Junior/Intermediate
# Unix System Administrator

Google uses linux almost exclusively as a unix platform, which is why I joined the company several years ago, and work there as a sysadmin and engineer.

What level are we really looking for?
In my personal experience, we hire resourceful people (i.e. you know how to look up what you don't know, and something that you don't know or understand bothers you enough that you learn about it by yourself so that you know about it next time), and we ultimately look at your level of experience compared to how many years you've been working in the field.
I have coworkers fresh out of school who just spent a lot of time learning unix/linux on their spare time and did well on the interview.

If you drop me a note with what you're interested in, I'll give you an up to date version of what we need, and recommend which job position(s) you should apply for.
We already have 5 Australians in my sysadmin group, 3 of whom I met at LCA. My manager is Australian too, so you won't be too lost :)

We have nothing against New Zealanders either, especially after LCA 2006 :) (thanks again guys)
