Hello,

Below is the job description for the Systems Administrator opening. Working onsite 3 days a week and remote from home 2 days a week. This is a 1 year contract with possible extensions or conversion to a permanent employee. Please let me know if you know anyone who would be interested in this opening.

From the manager: We have quite a few technologies in our environment that we support (Windows Servers, VMware, Storage and Backups, AD, DNS, some Linux/Kubernetes/Ansible, etc). Also a lot of datacenter and on prem support and not as much work in the Cloud. Linux, Kubernetes, and Ansible are really nice to have skills.

Technical:

* This person will be covering a lot of their on-prem data center focused infrastructure, even though they are a hybrid environment with CGP and on prem the Sr Engineer will cover their Cloud environment * This is more of a Swiss Army knife type of position since they cover a lot of their infrastructure - They will support their Windows and Linux Servers, VMware (moving from ESX to VXRails), Storage Tapes, Backups, Active Directory, Horizon View, Database Management, etc. * Kubernetes, Ansible are nice to haves since they do have some critical applications running on Linux. Just need someone with a high technical aptitude that can pick things up quickly if they lack this experience * Will partner with the Managed Service Provider (Fujitsu for now)

Other Details:

* This will start as a 12 month contract. Could extend if they do a great job and stay engaged. Potential to go full time but definitely not a guarantee * This role is a hybrid role (3 days on site, 2 days remote). They will start out a 100% on site to learn the lay of the land and once they feel comfortable with the environment they will move to the hybrid schedule. * 7am-4pm is the preferred shift. Can be flexible to 8am-5pm. * No on call support

Open to Mid-level or Sr Candidates. Prefer more tenured candidates since they will be covering a lot of aspects of their infrastructure and need to have a high technical aptitude.

Core data center services:

* Server Management (Windows, Linux, File Management, VMWare ESX, VXRails) working with 3rd party Managed Service Provider * Storage and Backup Management (including weekly tapes) * Core Network general understanding (working with the Network Engineers) * Onsite Support in a physical datacenter * Application Management (AD, DNS, DHCP, Horizon platform management, IPAM, DCIM, Kubernetes) * Database Management * Middleware Support (Application Support, Ansible)
