Samsung Research America | Systems Research Engineer | Mountain View, CA | Onsite, Fulltime | http://www.sra.samsung.com/job/view/288901

We're a group of scientists and engineers who are building fault tolerant, distributed systems. Members of the group have published at top conferences such as OSDI, NSDI, FAST, MobiSys, Middleware, etc. We are currently hiring hands-on systems researchers as well as people with strong software development skills in Python, Java, C, or C++. If you are very comfy with coding for Android or Linux, do mention that. Also, if you have coded against a DB like MySQL, Riak, Cassandra, or a pub/sub system, bonus points! The right candidate must be comfy with concurrency primitives (have used locks, critical sections in practice and understand the implications thereof) and network programming. We don't carry pagers or have on-call - the work is more about coming up with compelling ideas and creating proof of concept demos/prototypes to illustrate them. This is a very unique opportunity for a serious developer who is interested in getting exposure to a research lab setting. The company offers lots of perks. Please mention you saw the post on HN.

P.S. My first "Who Is Hiring" post. Please be gentle :)

The position lists a Ph.D. as a requirement - that's just for the researcher position, right? I'm interested in the development roles; does a Master's degree focused on systems meet your qualification requirements?

Also, what's your e-mail, so I may contact you?

Hi! Yes .. the PhD requirement is only for the researcher position. A Masters or equivalent hands-on systems experience is sufficient for the dev position.

P.S. Pls see my email address from my HN profile. Thanks!!

Don't forget your email, friend! HN candidates love to directly contact the folks who post.

We <3 our HN candidates and always want to be able to tell if that's how someone came to view our job.
