[Wylug-discuss] New geeks needed at Brightbox in Leeds

[John Leach]

Hi,

my company, Brightbox, are looking for some new geeks to join the
systems and support team, a Senior Linux Systems Administrator and a
Linux/Rails System Support person.  Seems generally ok to email the
discuss list with this - hope nobody takes offence.

Both roles are full-time and you can work from home, from our office in
Leeds, or a bit of both. If you plan to work from the office, you’ll
need to legally be able to work in the UK.

Send a hello, a CV and salary expectations to jobs at the Brightbox UK
domain. CVs should be in an open format, preferably PDF or plain text.
Closing date is 31st May 2009.

As always, recruitment agents should e-mail our special recruitment
company email address: root at localhost

Thanks,

John.
