Hi All,
 
I'm a Sysadmin at Brandwatch and we're looking to hire! If the following job advert sounds appealing and you'd be interested in applying please feel free to contact me (robw at brandwatch.com) or Holly (holly at brandwatch.com) who is one of our recruitment team.
 
This advert is for a job in Brighton but we are also looking for a Sysadmin in Berlin, and a Junior/Intermediate Sysadmin in London.
 
Thanks,
 
Rob
 
 
The Advert:
 
Brandwatch is building something special. We have already created the best Social Media Monitoring platform in the world, but that’s just the start. We are looking for great people to help us write the next chapter in Social.
 
We are now hiring a Linux Systems Engineer to join our Systems team in Brighton.

* Spacious new offices in the Brighton North Laine, with “Who’s coming for burgers on the beach” being a regular lunch time call in the engineering department
* Work with people all over the world…and use telepresence robots for meeting remote colleagues… provided you don’t mind seeing a Berliner colleague’s face rolling past on a robot!
* “Funky Friday” takes place every other week giving you 10% of your time to work on something new, reading groups, tech talks, generous training and conference budgets, and any technical books you need
 
Our Perks
 
* All the usual start-up temptations…cupboards bursting with snacks (a range to satisfy all taste buds), fruit boxes, drinks fridges… and of course coffee.
