Good day,

As mentioned in the subject, we are looking for an intermediate GNU/Linux 
assistant system administrator. Resumes / cover letters may be sent to me.

You absolutely must be the kind of person who spends a significant part of 
their evenings or weekends playing with GNU/Linux servers and desktops for fun. 
Ideally someone who has made heavy use of GNU/Linux in a server environment for 
a number of years. You should love working with text terminals !

We are not looking for junior, simply because we do not have the capacity to 
spend a lot of time and effort training someone.  We are not looking for 
senior, because this is an assistant position, so you will have set tasks 
within a compartmentalized environment. That said, this is a full-time 
position, and we want the candidate to remain with us for many years. There is 
room for growth for individuals who perform well.

Most of our servers and workstations run Debian 9 / 10. We are not likely to 
switch from Debian any time soon.

90% of the work will be automating configuration in Ansible. Ansible serves as 
executable documentation and allows us to deploy systems quickly, and to 
recover quickly in case of system failure. We are unlikely to consider 
alternatives like Chef / Puppet / Salt any time soon. If you do not love 
working with Ansible and automating as much as possible with it, this job is 
not for you.

The remainder of the job will include writing BASH scripts and maintaining 
infrastructure. Please be comfortable using systemd, LUKS, RAID and LVM.

Some of the other technologies / tools we rely on include:

     Xen hypervisor for virtualization
     Git
     MySQL / MariaDB / Percona
     Zabbix for monitoring
     pfSense devices serving as firewalls
     LDAP

The position is mostly remote work. We do need someone based in the US for 
timezone overlap. Someone in the Charlotte, NC area would be ideal.
