I am seeking a long-term, part time FreeBSD system administrator for a
complex and fast-growing web site. Most of the work can be done
remotely, but occasional trips to the colo facility at 6th Ave & Canal
Street in Manhattan will be required. (Yes, REQUIRED! Please don't
write to me explaining that most colo facilities provide remote hands or
whatever.)
Major tasks will be the setup and ongoing optimization of the following
MySQL database of about 150 GB (and growing!)
Postgres database
Apache web servers running mostly Perl/Mason
GIS software
Security
Backups
Load balancing
RAID arrays
etc
Knowledge of Perl programming is a definite plus. We are offering
$40/hour plus a free monthly metro card. We are looking for a
consistent 20 hours per week, long term. You may choose your own hours,
but they need to be regular.
Please include with your resume a cover letter explaining the hours of
your regular job and how you will schedule this work so as to not conflict.
