Linux Software Engineer

We're currently seeking additional programming help. We're looking for someone who is motivated and can work from our Sheffield office.

The work on offer may include:

• Extending C++ code written to generate and manipulate PDF documents.
• Extending our browser-based device configuration software (C ++/html/javascript).
• Building and rebuilding the Linux From Scratch operating system core.
• Programming our devices up ready for shipment.
• Improving the shell-script based method for programming our devices up ready for shipment.
• Writing documentation (written in docbook xml) for our products.
• Helping to resolve customer support issues (bug fixing, problem identification)

All the development is carried out on Debian hosts, so good familiarity with the Linux programming environment is a prerequisite, especially GNU Autotools. The only programming language which is a prerequisite for this work is C++.

The core of our products is Linux and CUPS, so a familiarity with CUPS is highly desirable. We also make use of MySQL in our systems, so some SQL experience is also of interest. Our user-interface is web based, so knowledge of javascript and basic html will be important.

If interested, please download the job advert, which has instructions on how to apply.
