===================

Tired of chasing the Amulet of Yendor ? Time to go up a level ?

If you are looking for a bit of a mixed buffet which allows you time to be a  
sysadmin (with a twist of BOFH), hack on interesting projects, build (and  
maintain!) infrastructure, support our lovely customers (and the not so  
lovely ones), then sir/madam, we have a tasty opportunity for you.

If you enjoy:

* Wearing a suit and tie to work;
* Vendor "certifications";
* Being abused by cPanel/Plesk.

Then this job ad is not for you.

Anchor is looking for an enthusiastic and talented Systems Administrator to  
join our team of talented systems gurus. Yes, we used the word talented  
twice.

The position is full-time, at our Sydney CBD office available for an  
immediate start.

In this role, whilst helping manage the hundreds of servers entrusted to our  
care using a combination of open source and custom systems automation tools,  
you will have the opportunity to learn best of breed practices, play with and  
evaluate the latest technology, and overall improve your skills and  
abilities.

Responsibilities and skills required for the role include:

* Excellent communication skills with understanding of the need to  
communicate things that people may need to know before they ask you  
(ESP/prescience a bonus).
* Intermediate/advanced Linux/Unix skills. Windows (optional).
* Intermediate/advanced knowledge of TCP/IP networking.
* Configuration of system services including Apache, BIND, Postfix, MySQL,  
PostgreSQL, and others as required.
Experience with RHEL/CentOS/Debian.
* Experience with designing and deploying network systems.
* Experience and understanding of security best practices and theory.
* Obsessive-compulsive attention to detail.
* Excellent testing, troubleshooting, debugging, and analysis skills.
* Maintenance of shared and dedicated hosting servers; applying security  
updates, scheduling outages, responding to monitoring systems, and system   
troubleshooting.
* Support for managed server customers via email and telephone.
* Obsessive-compulsive attention to detail. Really.

Tertiary qualifications in computer science or equivalent highly desirable.  
Programming experience and understanding of computer theory is desirable.
Anchor's Sydney CBD office is located within spitting distance of public  
transport and many pubs, has their own fussball and pool tables, and is a  
very relaxed and friendly working environment. Anchor is an equal opportunity  
employer.
