Hi all,

Let me start by saying I am not a recruiter, this is a genuine attempt to help my employers find a replacement for when I leave for pastures new in June.

They are looking for a Network Admin / Linux Systems Admin based in Cambridge. Its working as part of a small local team, responsible for production and office systems in the UK and EMEA and as part of the larger organisation based in two locations in Canada. I can certainly recommend the job, the team are good and there's plenty of interesting work coming down the pipeline to get your teeth into, as well as the possibility of travel to other locations in the organisation as appropriate (for example, I have travelled to FOSDEM in Brussels this year with the company as well as trips to our datacentre and corporate offices).

Systems I work on include: * Cisco switching, routing, security, vpn, mpls, vlan, qos * Juniper firewalls (SSG-series), ssl vpn (SA-series) * Sonicwall firewalls * Checkpoint firewalls * Linux (mostly RHEL/CentOS, also some ubuntu/debian) * HP Proliant Servers and storage * HP MSA SAN * NetApp iSCSI SAN * IoMega iSCSI NAS

Software I use lots of: * RHEL 5/6, CentOS 5/6 * Puppet * Nagios * Cacti * Rancid * RT Request Tracker * Splunk * MySQL

Useful skills: * Network design and security focus * Perl/Bash scripting

They are looking for a network and security focus, so any Cisco, juniper, security certifications or experience would be a bonus, as well as any certifications and experience in Linux specifically RedHat. I'm not party to the budget for the position, but would expect it to be fairly competitive and there is the opportunity to join the on-call rota for additional pocket-money (roughly once every 4-5 weeks having 24/7 break-fix on-call responsibility for production systems, not usually too disruptive).

If you are interested, or know someone who might be, please get in touch by email and I'll let you have more details and answer any questions that I can.

Regards,

Jim
