The Solaris System User Space project is responsible for providing a user-level system experience familiar to both Linux and UNIX users to help people switch to the premier UNIX operating system.

This engineering team has two simultaneous goals: keep existing Solaris customers happy and support backward compatibility while enticing users familiar with a GNU user environment to to switch to Solaris. That transition will be enabled by creating a single system environment that contains a mixture of UNIX and GNU user-level functionality for users, developers and system administrators. Creating this mixed environment requires creativity and the ability to balance multiple (and often conflicting) requirements.


Experienced software developer will work on a distributed engineering team (UK and US) on Solaris system interfaces to provide a user-level
experience familiar to both Linux and UNIX users. System interfaces include libraries and associated kernel functionality and commands and include work on functionality and ensuring compatibility and standards compliance.

Qualifications:
* Experience with C, shell programming and makefiles.
* Familiarity with two or more of:
- POSIX
- Single UNIX specification (SUS)
- GNU
- Other UNIX or UNIX-like command environment interfaces.
* Familiarity with multi-platform software constructions tools such as Mercurial, git, etc.
* Experience developing/maintaining command line utilities or libraries.
* Experience with popular *NIX C programming libraries.
* Participation in open source development communities desirable.
* Experience with standards processes desirable.
* Great team work, initiative and communication skills.
* Bachelors Degree, Masters Degree or PhD in Computer Science or related technical discipline (or equivalent).
