Are you an expert at specifying systems for purchase, receiving and landing those systems in labs, provisioning those systems with group-specific BIOS/OS/SW Stack setups, and supporting the ongoing security and maintenance of those systems, with automation to support the entire process? Do you zip past others who do similar work manually by creating the scripts and tools and configurations, all under SW version control of course, exemplifying Configuration-as-code practices, that allow you to push a button or task lab assistants to do any manual work necessary? Do you have the deep System Administration knowledge necessary to properly integrate your labs into IT-maintained networking environments based on MS AZAD while supporting Linux domain and MacOS best practices, all backed by on premise SAN/NAS and Cloud-based storage solutions? When customers come to you w/needs, are you able to guide them to standalone HW, VMs, and/or containers as appropriate for a given situation, and support their decisions with your customized bespoke solutions that not only exhibit today's best practices, but which are also well-documented and ready to migrate to the next "best known method" when it is found and we have to standardize on those yet-unknown solutions? If so ... you might be who we are looking for.
Please realize if you're the type that has found "the one true solution", having produced a bespoke infrastructure that only you understand, and which will never have to migrate to another not-yet-known solution because that's the way I've always done it, and that's the way it will always be done ... you might as well move on ... you're not the one we want.
We'll also expect you to be a team player, recognizing that the line between the lab support you provide and the DevOps infrastructure that runs on that infrastructure is gray and fuzzy ... you'll frequently be partnered w/folks working a little ways up the SW stack, setting up Build and Test CI/CD, supporting developer process tools, and following DevOps best practices.

Qualifications

Minimum Qualifications:

• BS or MS degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science or similar

• Experience in scripting languages like Python or bash

• Experience in CI-CD systems such as Jenkins, Buildbot, Team City, etc., with multiple vendors tools expertise an extra feather in your cap, especially for cloud-based systems

• Experience in Windows, Linux and macOS configuration and administration.

• Must have multi-lingual expertise on 2 of the 3, with System Administration experience at the domain level access and permissions, deep networking System Administration experience, and automated scripting of OS provisioning using tools such as Ansible an absolute must for senior level applicants

• Good English skills

Preferred Qualifications:

• Ability to understand and support pre-production hardware, with debugging skill such that you can distinguish HW flaws, not-yet-working OS, and driver best-known-configurations, or software stack mis-matches

• Knowing when Containers are applicable, VMs can be used, and where standalone bare-metal systems are all that can work for many given situations; if you think one of these fits all situations, you've not seen the problems we're dealing with daily.

• Experience in Docker, Kubernetes, Containers as a Service, Infrastructure as a Service

• Experience in Jenkins, Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, and the ability to produce Configuration-as-Code that can be portable to another service if a better one is found down the road.

• Deep knowledge of build systems usage

• Experience with Grafana

• Experience with Ansible

• Experience with storage technologies such as Dell EMC, Powerscale, HP 3PaR, NetApp, Oracle, SQL

• Experience as a Virtual Environment Admin

• Scripting or programming experience on a variety of platforms such as: C, PowerShell, JavaScript, VBScript, Python, Bash

• Experience in SAN platforms such as: EMC, VMAX, HP, EVA 3Par, but especially NetApp through NFS and CIFS, etc.

• Network technologies and IP stack: TCPIP, DNS, DHCP, VLAN's, firewalls

• Proven ability of planning own efforts and delivering results

• Good communication and presentation skills; ability to clearly explain complex technical issues and suggest data-driven solutions

• Proactive, organized, self-motivated and self-directed

Requirements listed would be obtained through a combination of industry relevant job experience, internship experiences and or schoolwork/classes/research.
