Our client seeks to recruit an experienced software engineer to lead development of a storage system management server.
  • This server is written in Python, communicates with clients over TCP sockets using a custom XML protocol and supports a high-availability clustered architecture.
  • To meet strong client latency requirements, sockets are handled asynchronously; potentially blocking operations are handed out to work-queue type processes.
  • The multi-user, multi-instance nature of the system is handled via a shared object model, the integrity of which is maintained by a sophisticated locking system.
  • The successful candidate will work within an established and flexible development framework to extend current functionality and to implement new and exciting features.

Requirements
 - Computer Science degree or related Degree
- Strongly object oriented mindset
- 4 years experience in OO programming. Python is our preferred language, but Java, C++ or other relevant OO experience is acceptable.
- Linux system level experience


Additional desired experience includes:
- Socket programming
- XML
- Embedded systems / high availability programming
- Storage systems
This is an urgent role. Please submit your CV for immediate consideration or call Niall Harris  on 021 427 9733.
