Here's a gig with some heft to it, just about as meat-and-potatoes as they come: One of our favorite clients, a prestigious medical facility known for keeping its talent happy, is on the lookout for a senior systems engineer to manage the enterprise's entire Linux/Unix server infrastructure. This is big-time, high-level, supremely important work for an employer that's in the business of saving and improving lives. It's a gem of a gig for a seasoned IT architect looking for something deeply engaging that's going to make a positive difference in the world. If you're still reading, you likely have a decent understanding of the contours of this work: design, configuration, implementation and maintenance of the facility's Linux systems, including application integration, architecture, engineering and 24/7 support. Responsibilities include: Producing new engineering solutions. Maintenance-related systems-admin functions. Standardizing and automating systems. Supporting the development of new applications, including patches, packages, and permissions. Disaster recovery/business continuity procedures. Deployments and upgrades. Managing the virtualization environment. You'll do your work in an ultra-supportive, relaxed environment as part of a close-knit team that likes to have fun while performing at the highest echelon. You'll have loads of tech to play with, including cutting-edge technologies associated with a top-notch research institution, such as neural networks designed to recognize cancer in screening technologies. All this needs to be built and integrated, and you'll be given plenty of autonomy to engineer and maintain it. You've put your computer science or engineering degree to good use over the past four years in increasingly senior roles doing engineering or support of UNIX/Linux (Red Hat/Ubuntu) systems for large, complex systems — hopefully systems that support computing technologies used by researchers, especially in the medical field. You've had plenty of successful experience with advanced configurations such as high availability, clusters, virtualization, and performance tuning. Here's some more of what you've done and what you know: Perl, Python, PHP, Bash, Ansible, Puppet, Chef, CFEngine, Red Hat Satellite, Git, Mercurial. Linking Linux systems to TCP/IP networks and to enterprise storage. Understanding appropriate use cases for SAN and NAS. Basic networking/internet technologies: TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP. You take the support end of things with a serious commitment, understanding that lives are at stake. That earnestness comes from a part of your personality that's also the source of your rigorous analytical approach to solving problems. You're flexible in working independently or as part of a team — each has its advantages, and you're amenable to both. However, you thrive on being part of a team that constantly strives for excellence, populated by individuals who are as devoted to the work as you are. Inside Skinny Ideally, you'll have worked for a medical center with robust research activity; barring that, find the thing in your history that comes closest to it, and be ready to tell us all about it.
