Adapter writers will be writing ZipTie adapters to network devices. The ideal candidate looks like a network engineer that has used Perl to automate some of their management processes.
XML experience will assist in the specifics of writing adapters as the adapters are a combination of Perl and XML. While Java experience is not a requirement for adapter development, it will prove useful when these individuals begin to move past adapter authorship down the road. The candidate should have at least 3 years experience in either network administration or software development.
