I have an interesting role I'm trying to fill, but recruitment for the right person has been tough. Are you the type of Sys Admin that automates yourself out of a job? I'm looking for that! We're a major VFX company, and the office is in Montreal. Maybe we can swing remote, but being Canadian at least will make this simpler. This place has messy as hell infrastructure, with lots of fragile systems that break if you look at them wrong. No one can get anything done in a timely manner, because of how painful/tricky/dangerous all the systems are. I'm looking for someone that'll come into such an environment and start unpicking the mess, one thing at a time. I have a team of system engineers, juniors/mids/seniors, but I'm looking for a DevOps/SysOps/Automation Engineer type person to join the team and focus on building the tools that team needs, to reduce all the toil they're currently doing. Then they can be freed up to work on more interesting poo poo than just answering tickets and rebooting workstations. I want users to be able to just fill out a form in Jira to get their stuck machine rebooted automatically, instead of submitting a ticket and waiting for a human to read it and reboot the machine. I want tools that allow inexperienced juniors to manipulate critical systems in a safe way, etc. I even have some great potential junior candidates to attach to you, so you can coach/mentor them, as I want to build a team around this, not just have a Key Person that is the Single Understander Of The Important Script. Environment is almost entirely Linux. Offering CAD$150K, and Montreal is a cool city to live in fyi. email me at my username at hotmail.

Hey everyone, I'm looking for a role in software engineering/frontend development! I have around 3 years of professional experience as a software engineer where I focused almost exclusively on frontend development. I have worked primarily in the fintech field, but I am looking to break away from that. My skillset revolves around JavaScript, React, Redux and other technologies. I'm comfortable learning on the job and have done so with large frameworks (React-Native) and languages (TypeScript) in a professional environment. I would like to work for a larger, established company, but it is not a requirement. Remote is preferable, but a hybrid position within a reasonable distance could work as well. I am located in Northern New Jersey, approximately 30 minutes commute from NYC. Full benefits are necessary, as is a competitive salary. I have a personal website which has a copy of my resume attached, as well as a list of my accomplishments and links to projects. You can feel free to reach me via the Contact Me button on my site, by DMing me here, or by reaching out to my email address located on my resume.

+1 to everyone else saying you need to double this to get high performers. Increase by 50% and you’ll probably get decent candidates since it’s a LCOL area. But the in person and clearance requirements are also going to really hamper you here.

It's early yet as the job description hasn't even come together, but my team (internal IT service desk) will soon be looking for a new manager. I'm stepping down from the role because it's been 2.5 years of slowly driving me crazy, but if you love responsibility and being the "face" of IT -- and have some interest in really shaping the future of the service desk -- then this might be your role. Team is small at just the 4 of us. I am likely to stick around as your team lead, so you will probably have a fairly easy time with this crew. Two of us are goons. The CIO you'd report to is legitimately a great guy. It'll be fully remote and pay >$80k...please PM if you'd like to know more. Regardless, I'll share the posting here for anybody who might be interested once it goes live.

I'm getting laid off and I've got a couple months left before I fully get shoved out the door, so trying again. My experience: 7 years VoIP telecom escalation support/project management, 3 years general IT helpdesk. What I'm looking for: Junior Sysadmin, NOC, TechOps, something like that. My current career path has been sending me more and more into project and client facing stuff and I'd like to get back into the technical side of things. VoIP/Telecom would be a plus as I'm already entrenched in the space but I'm not picky. What I'm NOT looking for: Entry level helpdesk Where I live: Bristol, UK. I am a US citizen and have a family visa to be in the country. I don't need to be sponsored, and am allowed to work here. Where I'm looking: Anywhere in an hour or so radius, though I'd prefer to work from home. When I can start: 1 month notice period, other than that right away. Requirements: Work from home would be nice, otherwise a decent pay range. Can be reached via: PMs or email at benderchan -at- gmail -dot- com.

Woof Blitzer posted:Job Opening As purely a discussion point since you have no control what your company is offering: I would be a good candidate for that posting, and given the current market, it would take a lot more than $120k for me to relocate to MO. Skilled IT workers are in just such high demand right now. Woof, if you yourself posses the skills and clearance that job is requiring, you should test the market when the time is right. Lots of money to be made right now.

Hughmoris posted:As purely a discussion point since you have no control what your company is offering: I don't want to spam the thread since you're supposed to just post openings/resumes here, but I'll make this one post. To those pointing out the pay range, obviously I have no control over the position in terms of salary because I'm not a manager. This position is junior to mid level, and it's the one I'm in now. I had both my clearance, Sec+ and polygraph paid for by the government, and I already live at the location. In my experience these types of jobs are usually filled by people from a nearby military unit (my previous job was there), but everyone I talked to already has a job at our facility since the labor market is so good right now. I know I am being a little underpaid, and I didn't expect much of a response in terms of people applying since almost everyone here is mid to senior level and remote only. I just post openings here on the off chance I can get that sweet sweet referral bonus.

This is exactly what I did to get this job, so it's kind of funny you bring this point up. I did a year as a GS-11 Sysadmin (they are having trouble filling the position 3 months after I departed, shocker).

Gonna add how countless people have done the cloud resume thing to show off at interviews (or showed off some other cloud project outside of professional work experience) Caveat is how it does take a little luck in terms of right place/time to get in front of a hiring manager or referral etc who is willing to bring on someone who has a lot of drive and self study aptitude

Eargesplitten said their Terraform experience was out of work - as in (as I read it) they labbed some stuff out. If my read is correct, not necessarily, no. Certainly not for a junior role, maybe not for a mid level role, depending on the complexity and quality of your in-lab Terraform work. 22E, Post your resume and what jobs you've applied for. Edit: But, uh, maybe not in this thread? IDK.

Well, I'll throw my line out again. My place is hemorrhaging staff due to garbage pay, so now we're overworked and understaffed, and people are still leaving in droves.

My experience: 5 years Health Data Integrations (HL7 v2 primarily, Epic EMR, eGate interface engine, Cloverleaf, TCL, Monk, *SH languages, etc) What I'm looking for: A mid-senior level position, preferring to handle more complex coding and backend items than day-to-day HL7 setups. What I'm NOT looking for: A job where I have no growth potential. Where I live: Central North Carolina Where I'm looking: Remote When I can start: 2 - 3 week notice. Requirements: Standards. Health Insurance, flexibility in work schedule to handle kid stuff. Can be reached via: PM, jmruss10@gmail.com

Hi all, my company is currently hiring for a Junior System Engineer. I was hired by a goon in this very thread so I'm going to copy/update their original posting:quote: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. Differences from the OP: You'll be also be dealing with some AWS and possibly Ansible, with an opportunity to cut your teeth on some Terraform. This is an entry level position. It's also a remote position though people from the NY/NJ/CT area get priority. However, remote in EST would also be fine, possible from other timezones in the mainland US but we'd have to talk about that. I got this job 3 years ago as a windows sysadmin with decent linux chops and it has been a ton of fun, I also haven't had to fix a printer or work any kind of Helpdesk in 3 years and I'll never go back. I'm the Team Lead now and will carry on the tradition of treating my team members with respect and we have fun. Biggest assets you can have for the job is excellent problem solving skills (its ok if you don't know everything!) and a good grasp of basic to intermediate Linux concepts. This is a customer facing role but you won't be 24/7 Helpdesk, we have a hotline for that. Mentoring is one of my priorities as a team lead, you will not be expected to jump in the deep end right away, and we are a team so we deal with problems as a team. If you're looking to build your Cloud/Linux/IaC/Ansible skills, this could be perfect for you (it was for me). PM me or post an email address I can reach you at and I'll send you the posting.

We have two devops contractor roles in Colombia I am pretty sure this is limited to Bogota, but possibly Medellin is on the table too Pay is pretty good from what I can tell. You would be a "level 2 engineer" which is somewhere between level 1 and senior, where level 1 is above a junior Need skills (don't lie, we can tell) - Terraform - Kubernetes - Helm - AWS Some knowledge of RDS would be cool PM me for details

Bean counters and risk management people decided we should to a two tier thing where basically all the US/SF engineers are seniors, and contract everything else out We have a bunch of eastern european contractors but until very recently (like 60 days ago) their contractor main/billing office was in moscow/belarus and I guess we're keeping our current contractors (they're awesome, have built the company from scratch for 7 years, not going anywhere, they all live in lithuania or uzbekistan now) but new contractors are coming in from mexico city and bogota because of time differences are a lot easier interacting with US staff Given how long we've kept our eastern european contractors, the colombia positions would be long term, like year(s) assuming you're a good fit
