Senior Linux Systems Administrator is required by a leading software as<br>
a service company in Central London. This is a really exciting time to<br>
join my client; due to massive expansion last year they have moved to a<br>
new office in the heart of Soho and are adding considerably to their two<br>
offices. This role is going to be supporting and deploying a Linux<br>
based cloud infrastructure.<br>
<br>
To be considered for this role, you will ideally be a Senior Linux<br>
Systems Administrator at the moment in a mission critical environment.<br>
You will have strong experience with Linux (ideally Debian but my client<br>
is happy to consider other distributions) and you will feel comfortable<br>
working with Amazon EC2. You will have worked with an automation tool<br>
previously, such as Puppet, chef or cfengine, and will have experience<br>
with a scripting language. Any experience working with Ruby on Rails<br>
would certainly make you stand out from the crowd.<br>
<br>
To be considered for this role, please apply using the link provided.<br>

The secret was some hidden code in the page that you downloaded the document from which eventually pointed you to the "proper" registration location (after a series of tests I guess, I wasn't that interested TBH - I'm not a security guru.) Apparently they auto-rejected anyone who filled out the form in the windows-only document because the applicant wasn't worthy. An underhanded version of the recent overt GCHQ recruitment campaigns?<br clear="all">
