Sysadmin contract - Bath/London, UK

[Paul Richards]

I'm looking for a FreeBSD sysadmin who has experience of building
highly resilient website infrastructure. I'm looking for someone with
strong sysadmin skills and extensive experience of the "FreeBSD way"
of doing things. An ISP background would be ideal but other enterprise
level experience would be ok.

The usual menagerie of admin skills are expected i.e. BIND, Postfix,
Apache, Tomcat, Postgresql, Nagios, SNMP, TCP/IP etc. A dislike of
PHP and MySQL would be considered a plus. Experience of network
infrastructure management would be useful as would familiarity with
ITIL practices.

The ideal person would have been working in a high availability
service environment for several years and who is active within the
FreeBSD community.

The team is based in Bath but we have an office in London so I might
consider that as an option, though it would still require some
reqular travelling to Bath. It would initially be for 2 months but
a longer term role may become available.

Java or other development experience would certainly be a bonus.

Flexible on rate depending upon experience.

The role is to design and then roll-out a new hardware infrastructure
for a web hosting platform that is resilient, scalable and manageable
using FreeBSD and other open source technologies as far as possible.
