Ask HN: Who's hiring.. Sysadmins?

The ISDC (http://www.isdc.unige.ch/) is looking for two system administrators in Geneva, Switzerland (telecommuting not possible). It's a data centre/research institute with about 50 scientists and exactly two sysadmins, both of whom are leaving very soon. You'll be doing everything from running 150 varied servers to advising on storage/compute architecture to 1st line helpdesk how-to-send-an-email/i-can't-print support. Most people are nice, with one notable and permanently-installed exception. Check out the links on the website for more information, and/or email me (address in profile) for more (honest) details.

Swiss or European candidates preferred (because there's red tape that takes time to cut and they need someone a.s.a.p) but strong candidates of other nationalities will be considered.

We need an additional Systems Administrator to support our growing high-performance computing facility, consisting of Linux clusters, servers and desktops, Microsoft Windows desktops and servers, as well as other architectures. We run many flavors of Linux, develop custom scripts and chew through truly massive data sets using parallel processing and associated technologies. We use Open Source tools when appropriate (love that Python!), and integrate COTS when necessary. To be eligible for this position, you must have current hands-on skills in most of the following areas: large-scale system and network planning and architecture; installation, troubleshooting, and integration of commercial packages; shell/Perl/Awk scripting; web server administration; firewall configuration and network management; large scale enterprise class storage systems including NAS/SAN devices, SCSI and ATA Raid systems; data backup and recovery on both Linux and Windows platforms; and experience with enterprise class tape autoloaders preferred. Programming experience in any cross-platform OO language (Python, C++, JAVA, PHP, etc.) is a big plus. A Bachelors degree in Computer Science or related field or a minimum of four years of directly related experience or training may be acceptable. Applicants must be U.S. citizens and selected applicants will be subject to a government security investigation and must meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information.
