    Google's recruitment guys contacted us and we agreed to post this on our forums, hoping that it would attract suitable candidates:

    Technical Solutions Engineer, Video - Mountain View, U.S.

    This position is available in Mountain View, CA.

    Are you passionate about video- and media-related technologies? Google is looking for engineers with an in-depth knowledge of digital video encoders, decoders and streaming technologies to enhance Google's projects focused on both the acquisition and distribution of video content. Your understanding of standards to prevent unauthorized sharing of media files will help us to provide industry-leading video solutions to our partners. You will also develop tools that can help us to diagnose and resolve problems before they impact our partners.

    Requirements:

    -Minimum of a BA/BS Computer Science or related technical degree (MSCS preferred).

    -2+ years industry experience with digital video technology (experience with MPEG Video, DRM, set-top boxes, or satellite-related technologies preferred).

    -Familiarity with using video related open-source software packages under UNIX or GNU/Linux.

    -Experience programming software in C/C++ or Java.

    -Scripting in JavaScript, PHP, Python or Perl.

    -Hands-on experience in UNIX or GNU/Linux system administration and shell scripting.

    -Photo/Video/DVD industry related knowledge and experience in video digitization operation is highly desired.

    -Ability to integrate and interpret data from diverse sources to make recommendations and find solutions.

    -Outstanding written and oral communication skills.

    -Excellent problem-solving skills and demonstrated multitasking ability.

    -Strong analytical skills.

    -Must be proactive, self-directed, detailed, and organized.

    -Must be able to learn quickly and get the job done in a high-visibility, high stress situation.

    And according to their recruitment guy, Google will sponsor candidates from overseas (==they will handle the visa issues for you if you don't live in the U.S.). Interested? Get your CV in text or HTML format to jobs [at] google [dot] com and put "Technical Solutions Engineer, Video - Mountain View" to the subject line.
