A friend's company is looking for a contractor with some knowledge of Linux, Solaris & AIX kernels (sorry, no *BSD). I think this is easy work for someone who has done moderately complex kernel work in these kernel. No opportunity to learn on the job. My guess is the work will last about 6 months, may be a year. The work is in the SF Bay Area (with the usual exception for wizard types!). If interested, please email me with your resume and/or some details of your kernel experience. If you pass my filter you will deal with his company directly. FWIW, the company has been around since 2005. Thanks!
