Puppet users - Jun 2010 - Job Posting: Hiring UNIX/Linux SA/SE in NYC area

Hey folks,

Normally on this list as a Puppet user, but I''m hiring two fairly
senior UNIX/Linux admins in my group, and as we are moving all of our
systems to Puppet, this list seemed the ideal target for job trolling.

The position is with a top 15 media company based out of Jersey City.
You''d be joining the Operations group, which is responsible for 800+
servers, about 50% virtualized, in a CentOS/VSphere environment.
We''re a team of 7 SEs plus 2 DBAs, and are part of a larger technology
group.

We touch all sorts of technologies, but a major thrust is moving our
systems to configuration management using Puppet.  I''ve already rolled
out both the proof of concept and the first round of production
deploys, but it''s early days yet, and there is still a significant
opportunity to contribute to the design and best practices for this
environment.

You should be a fairly experienced SA/SE -- environment size doesn''t
matter so much but heavy experience with Linux, particularly
CentOS/RHEL, Apache, MySQL, etc are required.  Familiarity with
app-level debugging using strace or gdb is a big plus, as is
experience with Nagios and VMware.

If you are interested and would like more details, please drop me a line.

Thanks,

-Eric Shamow

Hi Eric,

I''m an independent consultant (currently located in San Diego, CA)
specializing in Linux/Unix System Administration, and server hardening.

I currently have approximately 50 servers I manage using puppet, with
approximately 70 modules.

I''ve built my manifests so that I can do a basic OS load, load puppet,
and have puppet bring the system all the way up and fully configure it
to perform its assigned duties.

I have attached a copy of my resume for your review.  If you''d like to
discuss my qualifications and how my skills can help you, please feel
free to email me, or call me on my cell at 619-992-2193.

Thank you for your time and consideration,
jeffl
