[gnhlug-jobs] Possible entry/mid-level devops position.

[Ken D'Ambrosio]

Hi, all.  It looks like I may at some point soonish be able to hire 
someone in my department to help me directly.  I work for a mid-sized 
telecom firm that has both hardware and software offerings, out of 
Billerica.  All of this is preliminary, but looking to see if I can get 
the ball rolling.

Basically, I'm looking for someone who's savvy in Linux, hardware AND 
scripting, and looking to get exposure to cloud stuff, specifically 
varying flavors of Openstack.  I was thinking someone fresh out of 
school with a fair bit of (demonstrable) Raspberry Pi exposure might be 
feasible, up to a mid-level admin.

Duties (NOT a comprehensive list):
* Racking & stacking new servers
* Crimping cables when needed
* Configuring switches
* Dealing with RMAs, etc.
* Automating stuff where needed via scripting

Needs-to-haves:
* Scripting (Python, Ruby, others)
* Fundamental network know-how (subnets, routing, layer 2 -- IPv6 a 
definite plus)
* General Linux admin/user skills
* Aptitude and desire to learn
* Decent documentation skills

Telecom companies are in an exciting space right now, as internal 
elastic cloud services are replacing a lot of "appliances" that used to 
be the bread and butter of a telecom manufacturer.  Trying to support 
development programs that angle to re-implement appliances as cloud 
services is a definite challenge, but also a huge learning opportunity.  
If this sounds like something you, or someone you know, might be 
interested in, please have them drop me a resume.  Lastly, this position 
is not carved in stone, and may vanish, but we're hoping a requisition 
materializes no later than January.

Thanks!
