[linuxjobs] Linux engineer needed in Rome/Frascati

[Mickey Coggins]

Ciao ragazzi,

I'm looking for a Linux engineer to work in Frascati near Rome.  Salary is about 25k euro per year, can probably go a bit higher if you are amazing.  This is the perfect job for someone that's originally from the Rome area and looking to go back.   It's an entry level job, but with a lot of growth potential.  We're managing 1000s of servers for a very cool customer.  The really good news is that it does not require you to work remote!  You can be onsite, go into a datacenter, kick servers, rack stuff, drink coffee with your colleagues, etc.   Lots of new stuff coming in various clouds, like GTT's VDC and AWS.  We use mainly vmware and vrealize - with various flavors of Linux.  We manage petabytes of data.  Easy parking, easy train access.  Check it out, pass it to your friends that might be in the UK and want to go home, or are already in Rome.  Drop me a mail, give me a call, click on the linkedin link, whatever.
