Below is what the Manager said to me in an email. The rates are open so If anyone finds someone qualified, I will send them over. Let me know if anyone has questions!
“A clearance is preferred but not absolutely required but they do need to be clearable. I would search first for cleared people and if you can't find viable candidates, then expand it out to clearable folks.
For the OpenStack engineer a Red Hat certification would be preferred but again not absolutely required, it will really be based on their experience level. For the Software Defined Network Architect position, any combination of networking certification (CCNP, CCIE, Juniper, etc.) and software certs would be preferred.
ORock Technologies, Inc. is experiencing significant growth resulting in rapid expansion of the underlying network infrastructure to support that growth. We are seeking a software engineer with development experience in multiple areas including virtualized networks, network/infrastructure automation, SDN controllers and associated tools and technologies.
