===================

     This is a great opportunity to join a growing team in an established  
organisation.
     We have an immediate position for an intermediate to senior developer -  
performing a diverse range of work.
     You will have the chance to expand and develop your skills and knowledge  
with this experienced team.
     We practise test driven development and Scrum project management  
predominantly on the Linux platform, developing and contributing to the open  
source community.

Netbox Blue provides leading solutions for the Unified Threat Management  
market and has developed a range of solutions now being used across Australia  
by small (less than 5 users) and large companies (including Telstra, Qantas  
and NAB). The company is enjoying a major growth phase, with thousands of  
companies and over 80,000 individuals now relying on Netbox Blue to provide  
secure managed internet access, content control and much more.

The company is a medium size organisation that includes technology experts  
and recognised business leaders. The two company directors have independently  
won Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the Year Awards.  One director set up and

really going places, giving you the opportunity for growth and promotion  
within the company.

You will be reporting directly to the CTO (a director and founder of the  
organisation), who has a technology and software development background -  
giving you the opportunity to develop software and not worry about red tape.

Netbox Blue is committed to investing in future technology, starting Leopard  
Labs to provide filtering and management solutions for mobile phones. We are  
also committed to open source, contributing to projects, sponsoring  
development and running the Brisbane Python User Group..

developing the core Netbox product and associated infrastructure. You will  
have flexibility in your workstation and software, with the option of using a  
variety of open source tools and your choice of operating system (we  
currently run Linux, Mac OS and Windows), so you can enjoy your work  
environment. The development team is also based in a custom fit out building  
to ensure minimal distractions (even the network switch has no fans!).

Your key attributes will be:

  - Object oriented development and design experience, including simple to  
complex systems.
  - Networking experience, specifically in Linux.
  - Linux software development experience.
  - Ability to pick up new concepts and technologies quickly and follow
