A new job has been posted on the Linux Australia website.
http://linux.org.au/linux-foundation-work-home-sys-admin
===================

The Linux Foundation (http://www.linuxfoundation.org/) is looking for a
sysadmin to work from home in
Australia (or New Zealand).

On the technical side:
"This is remote position and it is also a paid full time position with
great benefits. In turn we require that the person is strong in
SE-Linux, Puppet, Git, Fedora and Redhat (at least 3-4 out of the
five)... Some of the other things we prefer and look for is how many
hosts someone has supported (the more the better). Have they been
subject to third party penetration tests, any type of PCI Compliant
audits or implementation of SE-Linux policies. A couple of other big
pluses are multi-factor authentication, including hardware tokens and
OpenVPN implementation."

On the personal side:
"We also look at a few soft skills, like attitude, English speaking
skills, passion for anything Linux and intelligence (who doesn't LOL)
and because of the situation, each person's background needs to be
squeaky clean."

If you are interested, send me an email (with or without your resume)
and I'll forward your details on to them.

Cheers,
Chris <mail@christophersmart.com>

A new job has been posted on the Linux Australia website.
http://linux.org.au/senior-perl-focused-devops-mob-labs
===================

We're hunting for a senior person to join our devops team. MOB is an R&D lab
based in Sydney, but our team is distributed all over the world and we all
collaborate together using irc, skype and other online tools as required.
You'll need to be independently motivated and focus on communicating clearly
and helping make sure we all deliver as a team. If you can deliver, then
you'll have all the freedom you need and the support of a smart, tight-knit
team of experts.

We want someone with strong experience managing networks of Ubuntu based
servers running web applications built with OO based perl. Our applications
are all built upon a smart multi-device aware services framework and our
front end applications are built using javascript, objective-c (iOS) and java
(Android).

Your focus will be to make sure these services are efficient, scalable and
easy to extend. If you want to add lots of new code and promote your
favourite framework then this is not the place for you. If you love elegance
and you love to take an existing powerful platform and make it sing then we
want to talk to you.

On top of this we hope you're someone who loves automated deployment systems
like capistrano and puppet so you can make your job easier over time, not
more complex.

We also offer some of the most challenging development projects available,
with a focus on R&D in the areas of Computer Vision, Augmented Reality
(https://buildAR.com) and the Augmented Web
(http://www.w3.org/community/ar/demos-and-projects/). But be prepared to
have your brain stretched and your crazy ideas listened to.

Once you've worked with our team you'll have head hunters from all over the
world chasing you.
But be warned...you'll also probably never be able to work in a traditional
job ever again!

NOTE: This job opening will stay open until we find the right person and
we're very picky so this takes as long as it takes.

If you think you can add value to our team then contact us at jobs <at>
mob-labs <dot> com.

A new job has been posted on the Linux Australia website.
http://linux.org.au/systems-administrator-production-operations-unixlinux-bigcommerce
===================

Who are you?

You are not the typical grumpy Systems Administrator stereotype (you are no
Dennis Nedry), you are keen and approachable. DevOps is a way of Life. You
probably spend way too much time on Reddit. You are passionate about uptime.
You have the ?MAGIC? touch, because problem solving is secretly what you
makes you tick.

What you will be doing?

Remote management of new and existing infrastructure
Taking ownership of restores from backup
Performing day to day administrative tasks (Linux environment)
Providing level 3 Support for escalated support issues
Liaising with the software development team to triage and isolate issues

Ideally, you?d already have:

2 years + systems administration experience in a Linux/Unix environment
Production support experience
A strong understanding of Linux
Experience working in a shared web hosting environment
A basic to intermediate understanding of Windows Server
Solid web server experience (Apache, PHP, MySQL, NGINX)
Strong troubleshooting methodologies
A strong understanding of managing the Network stack (TCP/IP, IPTables)
An understanding of scalability through Caching, Load Balancing and
Clustering
Experience with administering and troubleshooting MySQL
Working experience with Virtulisation
A thirst for learning and getting the job done
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
The ability to script in languages such as Bash, PHP, Perl, Python or Ruby
Cloud based infrastructure hosting

Other things we?re looking for:

Ability to build new dev and test servers
Knowledge of advanced networking concepts such as BGP
Experience with Parallels Plesk Control Panel

Who is Bigcommerce?

We are an Aussie company based in Ultimo. Our SaaS e-commerce product
(launched in 2009) is growing explosively. We?ve been profitable since day
one so when we decided to raise $35m to help us build our team it was on our
terms as a true partnership. Our investors are not trying to prep us for a
quick flip to some software graveyard. They are actively involved in our
business and really helping us cement our position as the fastest growing
SaaS e-commerce platform in the world.
What are we like?

We are not a startup sweat shop. We work smart not hard. We have lots of free
snacks and a games room with table tennis, arcade machines, pinball, and a
Xbox. We know exactly what we are looking for in every person we hire. We are
really, really good at finding and attracting amazing people to join our
team. Our management team is 100% behind our team and do amazing things to
keep us happy, healthy, engaged and productive.
Our team

We have a 60+ person engineering, design and product team based in Sydney and
90 sales, support and marketing people in Austin, Texas. Most of our Software
Engineering team are PHP and Ruby developers but we also do projects in
Clojure, Node or whatever is the best tool for the job. We have made a
serious effort to hire UI, visual design, interaction design, testers and
product management people as early as we can so you can focus on the fun
stuff.

Peter Whitfield - Director Engineering

Pete loves to ride his motorbike to work. Formerly Engineering Director at
Community Engine. He has got a secret talent of balloon magic, and he is a
sucker for Nerf guns.

Soren Harner - VP of Engineering:

Peter reports to Soren. He was previously the VP of Engineering at Atlassian
(the Confluence and JIRA guys). He is big on environmental issues, loves
riding to work, and has had deep experience building awesome technical teams.
We bet you a cookie that Soren is the boss you have always wanted to work
for.

Mitch Harper & Eddie Machaalani - Co-Founders:

Our glorious leaders! Mitch and Eddie met on IRC and decided to partner up
when they realised they were both building similar products. They do not wear
hoodies, they are not arrogant, they love working with smart people, they are
very good at motivating the team, and they won't treat you like a cog in
their machine. If you have the desire to one day go out and take a shot at
your own startup you will learn a lot from these two.

Sorry, this job has been filled. It appears to have been accidentally
re-published instead of removed. Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks,
