[gnhlug-jobs] Systems Manager Job Opportunity in Cambridge, MA

[Courtney Homer]

Hi All, 

 

My client has exclusively engaged us at CareerEncore to help them hire an
exceptional Linux operations engineer to run their QA lab.  It's a role up
your sleeves job- walk into the QA lab and begin digging.  Very hands on.
It's called Manager because you will be managing the lab, but not people.
This is a very visible role within the organization.  Strong sys admin and
networking skills are a must along with web technologies.

 

If this is of interest, please send along a Word version of your resume, a
few good times that you are free to speak and the number you'd like to be
call on.  I will confirm back.

 

Looking forward to it!
Courtney Homer
