[lug] Sysadmin job

[Jeffrey Haemer]

Folks,

Our system administrator's about to leave for a much bigger job.  We have to
replace him.

What follows is my informal assessment of the job, not an official job
description.

We're a 40-50 person Boulder startup, Aztek Networks, and we make
telco-related boxes -- hardware and the software that runs inside.  (Google
us to see our current product.)  The business folks run Windows.  We
engineers run Linux; different engineers like different distros.  Sometimes,
I bring in my Mac.  You have to be comfy with the idea of juggling many
different tasks and many different platforms.

We all get along.  There's not much infrastructure.  You'd have
responsibility and authority, but not folks around to offload work to.  You
can buy equipment when you need it, but you also need to think about what
you're spending and scrounge from what we have lying around.  You have to
document stuff so that if you get hit by a truck, it only ends your life,
not the company's.

This would be a good job for someone who's positive and service-oriented,
and who likes a lot of variety.

It would not be a good job for someone looking for a job tuning giant
beowulf clusters with 24/7, four-nines uptime requirements.  It would not be
a good job for someone who likes to do mostly paperwork and politics, and
who wants to get promoted to be head of a 300-person IT division.  Or even a
3-person IT department.  It's a job for a hands-on sysadmin in a fun, small,
engineering company.

If you're interested, or if you know someone who might be a good fit for
this, I want resumes.
