[linuxjobs] Cisco ScanSafe - Linux System Administrator, Central London

[Stuart Winter]

Hi

Salary range: 35-59K
Location: Central London, W1T 4EZ

Due to continued growth, Cisco ScanSafe are recruting for an additional
System Administrator to join our Operations team that maintain the
ScanSafe service infrastructure.

You'd be working in a System Admin team of 5, within a wider operations
group of ~30. Whilst ScanSafe has been owned by Cisco for two years, it
has retained its ajility and energy in addition to having the product
become integrated into Cisco's mainstream product line.
There are free biscuits (although you need to replenish your own stock
pile before 11am) and coffee.  Most of the people are happy as well --
which helps :-)

If you're interested in the role, please send your CV to
stuwinte at cisco.com
