[linuxjobs] Vacancy: Ops/Sysadm at Taptu - a startup in mobile search

[Stefan Butlin]

Systems Engineer
Taptu Ltd

Location: Science Park, Cambridge, UK
Reporting to CTO
Starting: ASAP

Are you in a stagnant IT Management environment?
Do you think you can tame the infrastructure of a fast growing global mobile
search service?
Fancy juggling bigger balls?

What's on offer:
A role with many hats, with responsibilities covering:
- prototyping of cluster technologies, such as: distributed filesystems,
installation scripts, monitoring  and failover/failback strategies.
- sourcing of building and installing server clusters
- performance analysis
- data-centre selection, installation and maintenance
- and some general-purpose system administration in our linux/OS X-heavy
office environment

What we're looking for:
3+ years of Unix system and network administration
1+ years software development in Java/C/C++
Experience of multiple flavours of Linux
Experience of web server (Apache, Tomcat etc) and networking technologies
(Routers, Firewalls, etc)
Good university degree in Computer Science or Engineering

Ideally we would like to find a self-confessed geek with a misspent youth
tinkering on Linux, patching kernels, optimising networks and contributing
to open-source projects. At work, they might gain perverse satisfaction
watching the logs of a well-tuned server scroll by. At home, they will have
several DIY-built PCs with parts for as many again floating around in
various states of assembly.

We will pay a competitive salary with bonuses and benefits - £ ka ching!!

Please note, in the spirit of open hiring policies, there's no
discrimination here against trekkies, bottled beer, or emacs users.

Tempted? Then send us a note saying why along with your CV to celia dot
jones at taptu dot com.
