Melbourne job: Linux Network Engineer / Systems Administrator

# Deep Linux/Unix and networking expertise required
# Building and administration of an advanced data capture network
# Highly technical role in a highly technical organization

Here's a killer opportunity for someone with deep Linux (or possibly Unix)
and networking knowledge. You'll be working on building and implementing a
globally distributed network of Linux devices that capture and transmit an
extremely high volume of Internet usage data.

You'll need outstanding knowledge of Linux or Unix systems administration
and an outstanding knowledge of networking - TCP/IP, security, switches,
routers, DNS, firewalls, packet filtering, NAT, routing protocols. Perl and
shell scripting experience is highly valued. You'll need the skill and
experience with hardware and operating systems so you can build machines up
from scratch and sort out hardware problems and ensure that your systems are
properly configured for deployment into the global network.

You'll be working on big ISP networks and although you won't be working in a
data centre on a daily basis, you'll need to have experience working in a
data centre environment and be comfortable in and familiar with data
centres.

This is an operations role too, so you'll be responsible for maintaining the
flawless and consistent performance of your global data capture network.
That means that you must have experience in systems admin and operations and
have experience keeping systems running reliably and consistently. You'll
need to have the skill to specify the operational process and procedures as
well as the ability to execute them consistently.

There will be occasional interstate and possibly international travel (U.S.
and U.K.) required. You will also be on call 24 X 7 - but a low volume of
callouts is expected.

You'll be working in a small project group of about four people within a
large technical team. This is a highly technically driven company and you'll
be in company with some of the smartest minds in Australian Internet
technology.

You must have excellent communication skills as you will be talking
technical with network engineers from other organizations in Australia and
around the world, and working to integrate the data capture systems into
their networks.

You'll need to be very good at self-management and prioritization of your
workload.

Formal qualifications are valued but not essential. Appropriate operating
system or networking certifications valued but not essential.

Please note that this role requires significant demonstrable deep experience
in networking. Please make sure that your resume/cover letter specifically
addresses this requirement.

Please be sure to specify the salary that you are seeking.

We cannot accept international or interstate applications.
