$ORK (www.isheriff.com) is looking for a network admin who can also  
maintain stuff
like automated software builds, perl/php<->sql gadgetry, mysql and  
oracle dbs,
various server hardware (suns, apple xserves, debian, openbsd).   
Network admin part of the role involves maintaining and monitoring  
connectivity between offices in brisbane and sydney, plus 24x7  
colocated servers in brisbane, UK and USA.   Expectation of fire- 
fighting overtime is "hopefully never and recent historical  
reliability is fewer than 0.5 incidents per annum".  Office is in  
brisbane CBD.

No Microsoft (besides the odd test box for browser and ldap  
compatability testing).
No desktop support (Desktop machines are all linux or OSX, and  
developers generally self-serve.)

Possibility to transfer to a development role in future if you have  
skills and desire to do so.

Unix Systems Administrator (Solaris/Linux/MacOSX)

         * Permanent Position
         * Small, creative team
         * Brisbane CBD location

     We are a highly motivated team delivering cutting edge network  
management applications to both local and international customers.  
This full-time position is based in our Brisbane development office.

     We are seeking a Unix System Administrator to assist our  
development team. To be considered for this role, it is mandatory you  
have at least 2 years commercial experience sysadmin on UNIX systems.  
Experience with Solaris and Debian Linux is essential, other Linuxes,  
BSD and MacOSX desirable. Familiarity with email, web and ldap  
services essential.

     Outside the expected daily management duties, you will be  
required to assist developers with testing and ad hoc processes on a  
wide variety of equipment, so your creative scripting ability will be  
highly regarded. There is scope for this position to swing away from  
admin and more into development if you desire.

     A working knowledge of SMTP and HTTP protocols is an advantage.

     Initiative, creativity, resourcefulness and ability to work un- 
supervised are essential traits.

     Remuneration will be based on experience and is negotiable. ($50k+)
