  • Oblong
  • Los Angeles, CA

Job Description

What You Would Do: As a seasoned software packaging engineer, you would help us disseminate our software development kit to the wider world. As a member of Oblong's Core Platform Team, you would be responsible for building installation media for our software on a variety of platforms. We package and distribute our g-speak SDK, as well as applications that we build on top of the SDK. Currently our supported platforms are RedHat Enterprise Linux, Ubuntu LTS, MacOS, and Windows. Our aim is to make installation as user-friendly as possible across these platforms. As a package manager, your clients would include in-house developers, our Fortune-500 clients, and soon, the general public.

As a packaging engineer, you will work with the VP of Software Engineering to define automatable internal procedures, and translate those procedures into a software infrastructure that makes packaging new software straightforward. This position requires a high comfort level with packaging on at least one of the platforms we use.

What We Look For: Having experience with the specific tools we use is a plus, but not a requirement. We place a higher value on flexibility and adaptability, because the state of the art is ever changing. If you are someone who really enjoys defining procedures, wants to help us to automate them, and has the desired skills listed below, we'd like to hear from you.


• Minimum 2+ years working with similar systems in a production environment

• Expert in packaging on Linux, either Ubuntu .deb or RedHat .rpm spec files

• Expert in a shell scripting language (bash or other)

• Experience creating software installers for OS X (PackageMaker)

• Experience managing sys v init scripts


• Comfort with perl scripting, or willingness to learn

• Relational database management experience (especially Postgres) is a plus

• Microsoft Visual Studio is a plus but not required


Benefits and Perks:


• Competitive salary

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance


• 401K plan


• Gourmet lunches 3 days/week
