I've had several folks contact me during the last few weeks for open Linux admin positions in both Utah and Salt Lake counties. There are approximately 3 senior positions open, and a number of junior/intermediate positions. The Sr. level is particularly tough to fill right now. If you're a Linux admin, now might be a really good time to think about making a switch.
Totally shameless promotion: Adobe is looking for a Sr. Linux Admin to come figure out how to run an unholy amount of checks across 20,000 servers in multiple data centers all over the planet. Using nagios, perl, php, python, and bash. We also have an intermediate SA position open. Experience working in larger enterprises a big plus. Contact me personally so I can get your resume on the desk of the appropriate manager and/or in the hands of the right HR folks.
