Company Description

Our client is a small and growing company that provides SaaS based

brands.

Job Description

Our client needs to add a Senior Systems Administrator, with strong UNIX
expertise to their team to help them  manage and build out their
infrastructure to keep up with increased demand. Experience with Cloud
technologies is helpful as they are looking to expand capacity.

The Systems Administrator will provide support and maintenance of  SaaS
hosting environments, assist in capacity planning, budgeting and design of
the environment, provide mentoring to more junior IT staff,  and provide
backup support and escalation for their internal business users, including
supporting the software engineering team. As with all systems
administration role there will be the need to be on call periodically.
Being a smaller company, you may be asked to help out in other ways as

Successful candidates will have a Bachelor’s degree in an IT or Engineering
related discipline, 7+ years of experience using Linux and other open
source services, preferably in a SaaS line of business, experience
implementing and managing cloud based infrastructure for highly available

TCP/IP networking, particularly HTTP and HTTPS, SSH, DNS, network and
systems security, experience configuring and supporting continuous
integration and continuous deployment environments. Other technical skills
needed include experience with source control tools and practices,
preferably with git and github, strong Python, Ruby and/or Bourne Shell
scripting and experience implementing and managing puppet, chef, or a
similar configuration management tool.

Soft skills are just as important. Candidates must have excellent
communication (written and verbal) and analytical skills. He/she must be
able to work as part of a team or on their own with limited supervision.
Since this a relatively small company, we appreciate candidates who are
smart on their feet and flexible in their abilities – people who will pitch
in to get the job done. And in any small company a good sense of humor goes
a long way.
