[jobs] Application Support Engineer

[Isaac Levy]

Hi All,

I've got a lead on a job-

Short explanation:
- running/troubleshooting big job workflow
- development background
- production RELENG spirit
- good organizational skills (time/people coordination)

Somebody who has systems support experience would be great at this  
position, but it is *not* a straight sysadmin job.

The work environment is excellent, offsetting the stresses of the  
position.

The full Job Reqs are posted below, feel free to email me off-list for  
more info, <isaac at diversaform.com>.

Best,
