Sorry for the repost job spam! ----- Forwarded message from David Thomas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- Date: Tue, 17 May 2005 17:44:02 -0700 From: David Thomas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Main Discussion List for KPLUG <[email protected]> Subject: Leaving my current position, going back to school, need replacement. Guys, I've decided to go back to school shortly and I'm leaving my current position. The timing's not so good because I really like my job. It's a really good stomping ground for someone like me who knows linux pretty good, likes a challenge, likes working directly with a talented executive (the President) and wants to further broaden or deepen their skills. The company is a small but very stable Application Service Provider. The budget is there for buying nice hardware if it's needed, salary is competitive to market, nice furniture and people... a tad corporate, which really just means be there at 8:30 and when 5:30 rolls around they kick you out. That took a lot of adjusting for me -- my previous job was an 80-hour week job with no overtime pay. For me, the job has been 70% Linux admin, 20% Oracle admin, 10% development. Your milage may vary, the last guy was probably more like 40% development. A chunk of that 70% involves keeping the Java application server running, which is kind of a beast. Also, we use the IP Virtual Server, if you even know what that is, you know enough (I thought I did when I started, but I was way off). I've been doing Linux for about 8 years, but someone hardcore who's been at it for 4 years should be fine. Especially if you have strong degrees to back you up. I'm going to stay on for another 6 weeks to make life easier for whoever takes my place (that's _YOU_ reading this now). Below is the ad and contact info to apply. Feel free to email me if you want my friendly opinion, the contact info below is for the decisionmaker. My personal email is dave (at) peoplemerge.com. ===== Applicant must have 5+ years experience as a Linux/UNIX system administrator and a computer science undergraduate/graduate degree. Hands on server hardware experience required, along with RAID configuration knowledge, Linux disaster recovery, Oracle experience and system programming a must. Should have strong knowledge of Apache, sendmail, firewall, fileserver, SAMBA and Oracle administration. Java, Perl, Resin, JSP and mySQL experience a plus. Job responsibilities also include intermittent customer support, web work and being on call. Position is full time Monday through Friday, Del Mar area. Fax to 858-755-6044 - NO CALLS.
