My team is looking for a mid-senior career Linux admin. The job is in
Lexington, MA. I've been commuting from Hudson, NH to here for 8 years. The

Please contact me if you are interested. Here's the detailed job

• Designing and developing solutions to solve researcher problems and meet
their IT needs

topologies,

organizational efforts in security, compliance and asset management

• Demonstrated understanding of fundamental networking concepts and
technologies (such as switching, VLANs, routing, firewall rules/access
lists). Hardware experience with Cisco and/or Extreme preferred
• Knowledge of common open source tools and services (web server, LDAP,
DNS, DHCP, NFS, git)
• Work with Puppet configuration management and the tools in the Puppet
ecosystem (Puppet, Foreman, MCollective, vagrant). Experience is a plus,
but must at least have a desire to learn these technologies

Thanks,
