My employer is hiring an Application Support Engineer, thought I'd help- and put the req out here. The position is not necessarily a sysadmin position, but UNIX experience is definitely a big part of the job. Somebody who's good managing calendars, and good at communicating across internal teams is key. Also, the reqs talk about supporting and running client-facing apps, but it's all internal- so there is no face-to-face with clients. If you, or anyone you know, are interested in this job, just email me off-list at isaac at diversaform.com and I'll hook you up with the right people here. Best, .ike From the Reqs: -- The Application Support Engineer is a key member of the team ensuring the operation of quality services to our clients. This individual is responsible for production support of our mission-critical client- facing applications and systems, including our proprietary predictive analytics web-based application and partner-facing systems and integrations, including SFTP, batch processes and proprietary integration applications. ** The person we're looking for is bright, quick-thinking, loves to solve problems and can learn quickly. We are looking for team-oriented people who are not afraid to present their own ideas and help us figure out how to do things better. Someone with an entrepreneurial spirit. RESPONSIBILITIES include: - Analyzing, prioritizing, and resolving production issues with client- facing applications and systems, such as SFTP, partner integrations and batch processes - Executing proprietary applications to generate and deliver client- facing services on a scheduled daily and weekly basis - Managing a calendar of client-facing activities - Escalating issues to senior staff when appropriate - Coordinating people across different groups within the organization to communicate, manage and resolve issues and provide reports when necessary From kholihan at connectionsny.com Mon Jan 11 09:16:22 2010 From: kholihan at connectionsny.com (Kimberly Holihan) Date: Mon, 11 Jan 2010 09:16:22 -0500 Subject: [jobs] New Sr. Linux SA job opportunity in FreeBSD environment Message-ID: <30706AA2A6A67644905624BACF46021502C34C72@sbs2003.Connections.local> Hi all and happy new year!

Before I go into detail, it's worth mentioning that I realise some of you aren't based in NYC (or even the US) so I need to be clear that this is a permanent, on-site position. Telecommuting is not an option, and my client wont sponsor so you need to have either Citizenship, a GC or other working visa (EAD etc.) Ideally I'd like to send local applicants, but if you are in the US and genuinely open to relocation, then I will definitely consider presenting you.

Thanks, -- -- Sujit K M blog(http://kmsujit.blogspot.com/) From matt at atopia.net Sat Jan 30 13:40:04 2010 From: matt at atopia.net (Matt Juszczak) Date: Sat, 30 Jan 2010 13:40:04 -0500 (EST) Subject: [jobs] Looking for work Message-ID: Hi all, My current contract is expiring soon, so I'm officially back on the job market and looking for work. I currently live in Boston, but have good experience working with companies in New York. I am willing to commute to New York for two days every week. I am open to short term contract, long term contract, and (potentially) full time positions. My skillset is primarily Unix Systems Administration and MySQL Database Administration. I also have good LDAP and LAMP development experience. I'm also experienced in software like Apache, Nagios, Cacti, SpamAssassin, RT, Amavis, etc. My *nix of choice is FreeBSD, but I'm also experienced in RHEL/CentOS and other Linux flavors. My latest task included a year-long project to migrate an entire data center setup to a new provider and fix daily site outages. Systems at the new data center were setup with common operating system installs, centralized syslogging, accounting/authorization with LDAP, and solid monitoring (nagios/cacti). A significant portion of the contract focused on implementing better MySQL practices, which included performance tuning, cleaning up old data, standardizing application users, auditing table types, backups, and replication. I also spent a lot of time working to clean up the code base, tune the webserver configuration, setup proper revision control/code deployment, and help implement caching strategies.
