I'm not an HR guy for my employer, but in a couple months we'll be looking to hire a low to medium end Windows support guy, experience with Windows Server 2k3 and minor Linux knowledge would be a good place to start. Also, you need to be organized and able to interface with customers and have some ability in project planning. Basically, you're going to live at one clients office and take care of them so I can do other, more important tasks. We're in midtown Manhattan. We won't be looking until around April, though. The benefits include getting to work with me.

Just to reiterate my post, I had a project meeting with my bosses yesterday, and they told me that they're going to look at hiring someone around April for me to train and hand off my job to so I can go back to focusing on telephony. The biggest caveat, is that the person must have experience supporting financial companies (brokerage firms, or hedge funds). If someone fits that, and is interested in a job in NYC at a small, but quickly growing company, let me know. I can pass you along to our management and you guys can talk.

CrazyLittle posted:I've always wondered about this requirement. What's so special about supporting financial companies? If you haven't supported them, then it's hard to explain. But imagine, you're a circus performer, and whlie walking a tightrope, you have to juggle running chainsaws. However, these chainsaws are also on fire, shoot laserbeam, and are electrified. You are also wearing a suit made out of bees. Seriously, though, it's different than just keeping a network up and running. You have to maintain 100% uptime, at all times. Any outage can costs the traders hundreds of thousands of dollars. Any packet-loss is unacceptable, because Bloomberg, TT, Redi, and the other apps they use will freak out with just a couple missing packets. It's pretty stressful, but you're also not constrained by the limits of a budget, they understand they need you, so they give you the freedom you need to install what you want. It has it's pros and cons, like everything else. The reason it's required if you want a job supporting them is that if you don't understand the terminology they use, and the way they and markets work, it's very hard for you to manage applications that they need.

Well, all of our financial-focus clients have been doing fantastic and actually growing at a good pace. Lots of hedge funds and what not have died off, but there's some that are just playing it right.

Hey, no OP love for my job posting? Let me follow your template and try again: --First off, let me say that I'm not in charge of hiring/interviewing at all, but I know that we're looking for someone in a couple months, so I'm trying to be proactive, because the person we hire will basically be assisting me for a few months, and the sooner we get people lined up, the better. What we're looking for: Low to mid-level computer tech with experience in networking, Windows Server 2k3, basic Linux knowledge, and VOIP experience a plus. Experience with financial support required. The person must be organized, able to do some basic project planning, and deal with clients directly. Applicant needs to be able to quickly learn and figure out new technologies. What we're not looking for: Disorganized people that aren't interested in learning and simply want a help-desk job with no desire to do anything. Location: Midtown NYC Approximate opening date: April/May 2009 Benefits: Health (HSA with company contribution), Dental, getting to work with me. Notes: We're a small company, but have been growing considerably in the past year. We have a small core of techs, but we're all basically super-geniuses. Our sales team sells products and solutions that we have never heard of all the time and we just have to figure it out and make it work. Contact: email me at ericcorp AT gmail.com DOT com and I'll get you to our people. EDIT: add contact info EDIT2: I've already gotten a few emails about my companies job posting! Just to add some more information for everyone: 1) We're not interested in remote agents. Unless you have lots of VOIP or Asterisk experience, we wouldn't really have any use for a remote agent for our financial clients. Sorry 2) We're really interested in someone with Adtran experience. it's not a requirement, but you have to know something about networking.

Model Camper posted:A lot of the people I went to undergrad with went this route straight out of school (I've got friends at Bloomberg) or the ERP consulting route (Accenture) and we've often talked about what we do day to day. They made a lot more money than I did taking my general sys admin job at a small company but now, a few years later, I've got a really broad set of skills and they're focused on one or two specific support tasks. Yeah, they still make more money (they also work in NYC and I work on LI right now) but I'm happy with the route I chose. Well, at my company you'll get experience in everything. Here's what I work with on a day to day basis (at just the one client we're looking for someone to assist me): Windows Domain (with multiple servers) RADIUS Server Asterisk PBX Adtran core couters Sonicwall firewalls HP Blade servers Multiple vendor leaselines (we're up to five now) Four locations for DR/redudancy Source based routing Video conferencing Multiple trading aps (Bloomberg, Calyon, TT, etc) Now, I'm not good at all these things, but from two years ago when I was making 12 bucks an hour repairing WW2 era gyroscopes to managing this beast of a network, I think I'm diversified quite a bit.

Just to reiterate, we prefer someone with previous financial support experience, familiarity with routing, basic Linux knowledge, you must be a genius, and have extremely good communication skills.

Hey, we actually filled the position I posted last year, but we are looking for a new guy: What we're looking for: We're looking for an Asterisk technician. Basic Linux knowledge is required, having a DCAP is a plus. We do small to mid-sized Asterisk installs and support after the fact. We also do a lot of network installs and managemet, we prefer Adtran products, so if you have experience with Adtrans, then you have a leg up. The person must be organized, able to do some basic project planning, and deal with clients directly. What we're not looking for: Disorganized people that aren't interested in learning and simply want a help-desk job with no desire to do anything. Location: Midtown NYC Approximate opening date: Immediately Benefits: Health and dental Notes: We're a small company, but have a strong Asterisk client base, and work closely with Digium and Adtran. It's an interesting job and you get to work a lot off different technologies, and it's very challenging. We're not interested in remote agents, though, you'd have to be in the New York city. Contact: email me at ericcorp AT gmail.com DOT com and I'll get you to our people.

I started a new job a few months ago and we are looking for some more Linux nerds. Located in NYC right on Wall street. Who we are: A vendor that produces a multi-channel content generation tool for publishing companies, like newspapers, research banks, and book publishers. Sort of like a huge platform that combines functions like Office, Wordpress, Sharepoint, etc. Available Jobs: Linux system admin and developers. I'm a sysadmin, and I pretty much spend all day assisting our customers setup our environments, writing bash scripts to help perform specific tasks for the systems and working with customers staff to setup their environments. Where we are: NYC, Wall Street Job Locations: NYC office, although we have an office in Milan Italy, which is also hiring, and Denver, Colorado, but I'm not sure about that one. What we're looking for: We need linux administrators. Someone I can set in front of a terminal, can manage to tab-complete (seriously, if you don't tab complete don't put "Linux" on a resume), can decipher bash scripting, and in general has a decent knowledge of clustering technologies, SAN storage, and basic networking. While our company develops software, your primary job will be assisting the technology staff of other companies to support our software. It's not like help desk support, you won't deal with end users, but you will be a consultant for their tier 3 in house staff. Our customers have their own huge IT departments, and we are just the experts they bring in to assist when they can't figure it out. It's nice because at the end of the day, they have to do everything and we just get to guide them. Also, they need java and web developers. I don't work on that side of the office, so I don't know specifically what they need, but I know they are looking. Why it's a great place to work: Part of the job includes a free trip to Milan to train for a month or two, also they like to send you there a few times a year to HQ to mingle the main office. The culture is very European, and not NYC IT, so you aren't worked like a dog and then not appreciated. It's a small office in NYC, we have a lot of employees, but mainly we get assigned to a customer and they provide an office space for all of us there. The company has a good pipeline of work for the next few years, and they really encourage having a life in addition to working. They think that if you are killing yourself working it's a mistake. I really like it, it's not like a super hip start up, they've been around since the 90's and are very mature. email a resume to ericcorp AT gmail DOT com if you are interested.

I work for a company in downtown Manhattan. We are a software shop that makes a CMS for publication. We are looking for a Linux guy to join my team. Must have linux background, and be able to talk coherently to a customer. There's really no other qualifications. Salary is pretty good. I really love my job. The company is Italian so it's a very laid back European feel. PM/email me if you are interested.
