Melbourne: relatively senior Linux/Unix Systems Admin wanted for 3-6 months,
in Fitzroy, near Brunswick St, working mostly on-site. Starting ASAP.

Send your resum? to: jobs@strategicdata.com.au


Strategic Data are located in Fitzroy, just off Brunswick St, and are involved
in a wide range of data processing, managed and reporting applications.

See http://www.strategicdata.com.au/ for more of a customer-focused blurb.

We make use of a lot of Debian Linux, Perl, and Open Source software in
general, along with a wide range of other technologies.


We are looking for someone to come in and help impose order among the chaos of
our systems, helping deploy automation and move our infrastructure from
unique, hand-crafted systems to a managed, monitored and simplified
infrastructure.


This is a position for three to six months, with possible extension; we are
happy to have contractors, or folks working as regular staff for the period.

Extension to the position is dependent on workload and business growth, and we
should have a good idea early in the picture how likely it is that you would
continue on with the company.


Remuneration is dependent on experience, and is in line with industry average.
We want someone pretty experienced and able to work in a fairly self-directed
fashion; we understand this means we have to pay for it.


Specific skills that would be valuable follow, but this is a "wish" list, not
a "must have" list. If you only hit some of these highlights, drop us a line,
because you might well be the person we are after ? we are happy to teach the
right person the tools they don't know:

Significant experience with Debian Linux, including packaging software,
managing custom Debian package repositories, upstream processes, and the
like. Other Linux experience, or Unix experience, is also valuable.

Systems automation tools, especially puppet, is highly regarded; experience
with Ruby, Perl, and shell scripting in systems automation also valuable.

Experience building scalable and available systems is a definite plus.

Experience administering and implementing Condor, or other batch processing
and distribution systems. Experience with other distributed processing or
cluster systems a bonus.

Experience with multi-site IP network addressing, routing, firewalling.

Experience with PostgreSQL, general programming experience, involvement in
open source projects are all positives.


We will consider responses from recruiters, but your offer better be a
specific person, and pretty compelling. ;)

If you have other questions, feel free to drop me a note and I will try to
answer them ? but don't just fling me the resum?.

Regards,
Daniel
