This is long overdue...
My experience: 8+ years doing application support and system monitoring for a healthcare IT company. I'm OK with Perl and I'm an Oracle Database SQL Certified Expert, if that means anything. I have user-level proficiency with Linux and I tinker with my AWS micro-instance in my free time. I took some C# classes in college and I'm pretty good at debugging but I'm no pro. I actually enjoy gathering and tracking performance metrics.
What I'm looking for: A challenge. Also: opportunities to grow my technical skills. Probably a support role or some hybrid business intel deal.
What I'm NOT looking for: Entry level help desk
Where I live: Seattle, WA (not looking to relocate)
When I can start: Jan 2nd or any time after.
Requirements: Industry-standard wage and a decent manager.
Can be reached via: PM

Cross posting.

HIRING in Bellevue, WA.


Need two application support engineers and one developer/application support engineer. Basically, our organization was brought in handle a hot mess for a foreign company. Their old outsourced IT people were given the boot for a host of reasons and we have inherited the results of their mismanagement. There are 70 business applications to support, many of which have no documentation(I am working on that) and some of which break constantly. We will be the escalation points and improvement drivers for the new, better IT setup. It is a challenge but there are a lot of opportunities to distinguish yourself. I have learned a ton in the last three months and I'm still not sure what next week will bring. My boss is already talking about new support contracts and partnerships and we've just barely righted the ship here.

Required (in decreasing order of importance):
1) A good attitude and a willingness to do research and work without constant oversight.
2) Some kind of support experience, and showing a good mentality towards helping coworkers/customers.
3) Technical ability: unix/linux systems, MS windows troubleshooting, bash/Powershell, SQL, MS Server administration, Oracle/SQL Server administration, et cetera.
4) This is more of a plus: experience with huge old albatross out-of-support enterprise software packages.

The roles are technical, but my boss would rather hire a person with the right attitude and train them up than deal with some sullen, mopey techwizard who needs constant supervision. Currently our office is small, but there is excellent opportunity for skills/career growth.

The developer job would be half support and half writing tools and debugging in ASP.NET and Javascript. It is a junior dev position so hopefully it will make a good foot in the door for someone.

email your resume to jobs@taskcentral.com to apply.

^^^lol

Considering the number of posts I see begging for information on how to break in to tech support, a post like that isn't out of line.

And yes, some people volunteer. They literally give their labor product away for free.

For a second there I thought there was actually a job posting for sober sitters. Oh well.
