Desired Experience includes the following:

- Familiarity with web services (Apache, Nginx, Tomcat), relational databases (MySQL, PostgresSQL, Oracle), e-mail servers (Qmail, Postfix), backups, system analysis and performance tuning.
- Shell scripting ability at a minimum, traditional programming language experience is a plus.

Client service interaction is generally handled via telephone, occasional video conferencing, and through our ticketing system. Most of our clients are experienced developers who run sophisticated environments. The job does not involve helping people open Word documents or locate the Start button.
This is not an entry level position; you’ll need to demonstrate skills that that allow you to troubleshoot advanced system problems quickly and efficiently. The Linux Systems Administrator is primarily responsible for run-time maintenance, helping our clients through times of difficulty with their networked, cloud-based environments. Opportunities also exist to work on projects – both internal and client facing – such as migrations, product and environment design.
